I don’t think he is “bad” per se, but he doesn’t move the needle for me at all. We need to do better. Small sample size for him IMO and more ? marks. His most successful year with the OC title was at UF in 2020. We know Mullen is the playcaller, so was it him or Mullen?

His offense got worse in year 2 of his Utah stint and his time at Houston brings another ? mark if it was him or Applewhite running the show?

Bright guy, still young and his best days appear to be ahead of him. But he doesn’t do much for me personally.

Just my 02

From what I gather, Mario’s main priority is always recruiting...

I think his approach is recruit first & then once recruiting is finished he’ll get everything in line as far as the staff is concerned, plus in the past Mario has sometimes lost coaches in late Jan-Feb. The WR coach he had before McClendon, Michael Johnson, he lost him in Jan 28 in 2019, the the coach he replaced him with was hired in Feb 2020, McClendon was hired in April of 2020.

In 2018, 4 of his coaches were hired between January 20th & February 20th.

When Marcus Arroyo got hired by UNLV in December 2019, he didn’t replace him until January 21st 2020.

He didn’t hire Andy Avalos until February 27th (however Jim Leavitt didn’t leave until a week before that).

And when Andy Avalos got the Boise ST job he didn’t replace him with Tim DeRuyter until January 22nd.

This has pretty much been Mario’s m/o, he cares about recruiting first & foremost above all, he’s not going to focus too hard on coordinator hires until he knows who he has wrapped up for 2022 class.

Which is why I don’t think the staff will be fully complete until either the week before NSD or at least a few weeks after.

However, there’s a chance we finally get the hires next week, given the timeline that he usually doesn’t make his coordinator hires until the week of January 20th.

If we don’t get any hires next week (hence why I kept making that joke) then if I was yall I would just wait until after NSD before you can expect the OC/DC to be hired & announced.

So Belk runs a 4-3 multiple, correct?

He likes having 4 up front, so you can surmise that it’s more of a 4-2-5, than a traditional 4-3. If the alignment of the offense calls for it, the D will adjust to look like a 4-3. Just another way to get more athletes on the field. Guy knows his stuff
