Some names to watch before it’s deleted

Would this be for an on field or off field role? Doesn’t scream most money in the ACC for assistants if it’s on field.

If you have a OC/position and DC/position then you can get away with position coach just at ST.

Anyone is an upgrade over Patke. ****, I’m an upgrade over Patke and I don’t even know what a gunner is.

What does Dennis Smith coach

What does Dennis Smith coach

He coached ST, OLBs, and Nickles during his time at La Tech. We don't know if he'll even be on the field though.

Before judging see whole coaching staff. I trust Mario to be more informed than any of us

 

[RedPill Stepdad]

God**** is Cristobal making stealth hires and having them out on the recruiting trail?

no way. Mario is too classy to have a coach recruiting for Miami while he's at another school.

 

[Meast21]

Not every coach needs to be some big name (ex. Seider, Corey Raymond, etc.). If Mario worked with him for years at FIU, you got to trust Mario's judgement that the guy is legit. Frankly he prob comes cheaper which means more $$ for other big names and less likely to get poached/leave in 1-2 years...

TOS mentioned Smith joining in football operations staff

 

[ghost2]

Correct me if this is wrong, but if he's out recruiting he has to have an on-field position as a coach, yes?

Yes

 

[Mackmiller974]

I think the 247 guys said he was hired as a analyst

 

[tsimonitis]

Correct me if this is wrong, but if he's out recruiting he has to have an on-field position as a coach, yes?

Yes. But shuffling can occur once full on field get into place.

 

[2Focusd804]

That’s his list over a longer period and his contacts are all out west as well. We know what Hickson has brought in at Miami. That’s a more established bird in the hand in Miami.

I get being more established in south florida but the talk in this thread and others is that Mastro is a bad recruiter. I'm trying to see what evidence there is to support that because looking at his track record, he's recruited better at his current job than Hickson has at his current job based on recruits average.

 

[ghost2]

In fairness, the tweet from Hicks didn't say he met with Smith in person so he could still be support staff I spose.

 

[Cane44]

Yes

Lol. Maybe thats why the tweet was deleted. Dude not suppose to be crootn

 

[Cryptical Envelopment]

Correct me if this is wrong, but if he's out recruiting he has to have an on-field position as a coach, yes?

Not necessarily if we are short coaches. He can be temporarily assuming an on the road recruiting position until we fill our staff out.

I think he’s run of the mill. There are other things that have come up with Hickson. We’ll survive either way. I’d prefer Seider over both but I’d prefer Hickson at Miami over Mastro.

10 assistants can recruit. Doesn’t look like Patke, Simpson, Justice, Lashlee, etc have been recruiting at all so he’s slotted into one of the ten slots right now. He can always revert back to off-field or operations or whatever he actually is (if he isn’t on-field anyway) when the 10 slots are filled.

Awesome thanks for the clarification. Makes more sense now
