I agree with coach macho here. It's not easy to fire someone with a contract. It's especially hard to fire someone with a contract with the people we have running this athletic department. Everyone references Saban. But Alabama is FULL of people who know and care about football. Ohio State, Texas, Georgia, and so on. These people in their buildings are not mediocre.
Miami's athletic department is littered with Mediocre management. Mario makes awful game day decisions and NO ONE will challenge him. Not even the media. Does Mario want the best for the program? Yes. Does Mario want to win here with all of his heart? Yes. Can Mario manage a football team? No.
He needs help. He needs someone who knows how to manage. He needs someone who will push back on him. I think that is what is meant by Mario being a terror in the Hecht Center. If you look at a Saban, Kirby, Kelly, or Lanning, they will push a coordinators face in on the sideline. Mario won't do that.
I thought Highsmith was that dude, but I guess not. Cristobal needs to only recruit and coach up the O-line. Be the "Miami" face of the program.
