Stupid take. I'm plenty critical of Mario and we definitely underachieved season's end, but this wasn't even in the top 100 worst coaching jobs of the last decade. I can think of at least 10 coaches this season that had a worse coaching performance than Mario did this season. I'll name them

1. Norvell
2. Riley
3. Brian Kelly
4. Mark Stoops
5. Tom Herman
6. Mike Gundy
7. Guz Malzhan
8. Hugh Freeze
9. Kyle Whittingham
10. Kalen DeBoer (if you ask Bama fans)

Those guys benefitted their programs before NIL. I think we are getting to a point where the best recruiter ain't it anymore. We need real coaches that can get the most out of their talent on both sides. If UM can see this, they would jump ahead of these fools.

Norwell takes the wrst coaching job title ... Mario is the poster child for self inflicted mediocrity.

Yeah I mean hey the end was disappointing as **** there’s no denying that

We were preseason #19 and Vegas had us at 9.5 wins

Wasn’t even the worst coaching job in the ACC

Anyone agreeing with the drama of the original title has some serious problems
 
Lots of cope in here.

He didn't win anything while having the best QB in football. it's hard to do that. Just like it's hard to lose a game when all you have to do is kneel. but he's managed to do both.

You get a banner/ring/trophy for winning 10 games?

wgaf if it's the worst, 2nd worst, 3rd worst, 11th worst. You're coping.

One of the units he fielded managed to neutralize the best offense in football and not once, but through several games. This team was down 25.... to Cal.... TO CAL.. in year 3

Worst than not running beast mode at the 1?

Worst than going undefeated and losing, to above average giant team with the best offense you ever?

Worst then losing to your arch rival(michigan)who is 3-9, with the superior talent roster?

Worst than Kirby smart fake punt on 4 and 10 at midfield against Alabama?

Worst than miracle at the Meadowlands?

Worst than huge freeze rushing 2 with Alabama at its 30?

Worst than Dan Quinn's play calling with falcons being up in the superbowl?

Look...I hate Mario as much as anyone but people act like our roster is as loaded as Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Ohio State, Oregon, etc. and it's not

We have good players and a very good QB but also severely deficient at places - some his own doing and others because we don't have the budget of the teams stacking up DT, LB, CB, and elite WRs.

Ryan Day went 10-2 with the most expensive roster in America, Smart went 10-2 and could have easily been 8-4 with a top 4 roster, Sark didn't beat a ranked team with the 2nd most expensive roster in America and the 2 highest paid QBs in America on the same roster.

Oregon and Texas are the only teams that loaded up at every position on the field and like I said, one of them still didn't win their conference and is an offensive guru and let his offense stall out when they needed it the most.

Ohio State went cheap at QB and failed. Miami went cheap in the secondary and failed. Hugh Freeze has a top 10 paid roster in CFB and went cheap on QB and can't win 6 games.

I came here to write exactly this.

Really, even with everything Saban won while coaching at Bama, one could argue he underachieved every single year he didn't win it all. He had more talent on the bench nearly every game not even playing than nearly every other team in CFB had starting.

I found it interesting reading a newspaper article regarding our coach, in that the reporter wrote that Mario “manages to do less with more as consistently as any coach in America”. I’m thinking this comment of course included Mario’s stint at Oregon. The article went on to say that considering the talent Miami had and the weak schedule, that Miami’s failure to make the college playoff was “the worst coaching job of the decade”. I guess Mario was right when he said, “how you do anything is how you do everything”…………….

How 'weak' was our schedule exactly?

Correct. Thank you for highlighting how bad it was to not kneel out the clock and ultimately steal a win from your own players.

Not when you have the defense we had. Even with all this air raid business, defenses still win championships.

This past season should be the poster child for that.

Oh yeah it's so hard to do that .... meanwhile literally the last two heisman QBs (who were just drafted 1 and 2 overall this year) went 11-3 and 10-3 during their heisman campaign season. lol.
Wait did Kyler, Baker, or Lamar - all of whom won the Heisman - make the National Championship game?

Once again I'll say Mario isn't even a top 15 highest paid coach in CFB, and We are almost certainly in the 8-15 range as far as NIL goes.
Oh also we have won 10 games twice in the last 20 years.... and this year was one of them. We've finished top 15 at the end of the season after not being in the pre-season top 15 one time - and this would be the second. Mario just delivered the #1 offense in America and likely gets his QB from being a day 2 pick to being a top 5 pick. Also lets not get **** twisted, before they completely moved the goalposts most of the mopes on this site were predicting an 8 win season lol.

Yes this season COULD HAVE been way better. But acting like it was a failed season is idiotic, and just more mopery period.
 
I think we have all seen enough and know what needs to be done.

Unfortunately, it will be another couple of years.

And, yes, he does seem to do less with more than anyone else.


Go Canes!!
