They forget that Mario has a TEN YEAR CONTRACT. We are in Year 3, and this isn't Texas A&M, where oil money covers everything. Mario will get until at least year 5 before the seat gets warm, provided things don't go completely off the rails before then. Worst case scenario, Miami pulls a Michigan and makes Mario renegotiate his contract if things don't improve by year 4, but he's not truly in danger of being fired until year 5 or 6.

I think you’re missing the point a little bit. I don’t think anyway is saying that he’s going to be fired. What people mean when they say he’s “done” here is that with another 6-6 or 7-5 season next year the wheels are going to start falling off—recruiting will start to suffer, other programs will start circling like vultures and pick off these top recruits he’s signed the last two cycles, etc.—and he won’t be able to recover from it.

This is becoming a really lazy take. We went from an abortion of an offense under Gattis to an offense that finished 31st in the country at over 430 yards per game. We had two of the top three most productive receivers in the conference and have/will return one of the best OL in the country.

The grave mistake the staff made was doubling down on a talented QB that clearly didn't have it between the ears and truly didn't want to be at Miami post-spring. The best result for all parties would have been for TVD to move on when Bama was courting him and pivot to someone like Mike Pratt. They went all-in to keep him and made their bed. When Tyler started stinking up the joint in conference play, the lack of suitable backup reared it's ugly head. The litmus test for Mario/Dawson will be how he responds to new coaching and if he's able to revert back to the QB we saw in '21. Time will tell.

In the meantime, call it circumstantial, poor decision-making/roster construction, etc., but don't for a second tell me that the ingredients aren't there/wouldn't be attractive for the right portal QB.

Ingredients by themselves do not matter. Until you have an expert put the ingredients together in the best possible way, they're nothing special.

Results speak for themselves.

NO ONE is kicking down the door to walk in and start on day 1 with a huge NIL deal.

That's indicative of a massive problem.

It's not a lazy take. It's reality.
 
I've got him 4th on my remaining QB list. He's got interesting tools but his low completion % is concerning. I dont think it would be a disaster, but we can do worse with what's left on the board lol.

1. Ward
2. Salter
3. Baby Tua
4. Poffenbarger

Yeah I'm a lil salty Ward left us hanging the first time and is about to do the same AGAIN just a few weeks later.

If Canes Twitter is drooling over this guy (spoiler: they are) he is either not good or if he's good, he's not coming here. You know the drill.

If you can't get Salter we're at the point of adding solely for depth and competition for JB, Emory, and Judd. It's beating a dead horse at this point but sheesh what a botch of the qb position when we're generally recruiting every other position quite well (I know the secondary also needs work).

If Ferman replaced Dawson and we ended up winning games with Ferman and he won the Broyles award, we’d have the last laugh.

….we aint winning **** w a kid that got dog walked every time he faced FBS competition. Stop it.

Salter got dog walked by Oregon.
 
A few hypotheticals

1. would this kid agree to come and compete and not promised to start considering the jump in competition?

2. How would you guys feel if FSU convinces him to come be tiny guitar’s back up?
4 strings only has one year left and they have a record of putting a dude in the league from that school.


3. If he beats out J Brown it would be like Kaya’s first year when everyone thought Goldie was looking for an excuse to not get fired when the reality was that he was head and shoulders above the whole room.
Would JB transfer if that happens?

Like I posted on another thread. It’s really smelling like Mario and Dawson want to roll with JB unless they get the Ward.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they Roll with JB through spring and give him a lot of reps. If he doesn’t show significant progress or gets beat out by Judd there will be a serious conversation that will take place.
Obviously getting beat out by a true freshman seems unlikely.
But this has happened here in the past, as I pointed out, and at a lot of other schools as well.

It seems like the sticky point in this whole conversation might be Number 11 as gaby low key pointed out.
If J Brown wasn’t in the equation there wouldn’t be a need to say something about “shaking up the QB room”. Emory, Judd, and whatever walk on aren’t gonna be ****ed if sophomore or junior is being brought in to start. Jb is definitely gonna feel some type of way.

Yeah
Getting dog walked against an 11-2 team where your OL is completely overmatched in a NY6 bowl that you led your team to in an undefeated season is the same as getting dog walked while completing 32% of your passes and throwing for under 100 yards and 1 INT 0 TD against 5-7 Hawaii. There definitely aren’t levels to this or anything. It’s all black and white, for sure.

Salter or Liberty? Because last time I checked, Salter didn't give up 45 points.

not disagreeing with you.
Just pointing out that why ignore ridiculous stats just because your team and your oline got manhandled and rag dolled by a higher level of competition.

Don’t really think that these qb’s that do everything for the team on offense are gonna be told to hold on to the ball when they play up? Its very easy “son go do what you do”.


It’s literally what FSU did and literally what Ward did at incarnate world and wasu.
If you ask a qb to carry the whole team he’s gonna get sacked and gonna throw picks. Its the down side to ward with fumbles and picks.

It happens on every sport. In soccer or hockey elite dude on a crappy team takes a huge number of shots on goal and won’t even pass to the open man. Misses a lot and also scores a lot.

The one thing we can agree is that whoever comes here isn’t gonna throw to an open safety after 7 seconds of a clean pocket.
