Im with you on that, every coach has + and - and many had a lot of negatives but looking back he did two major things, FINALLY bought the spread to miami (Praise to the most high, bless him) and he was one of the first to openly embrace Portal and other coaches saw how we benefitted from that and he changed the game with that, dude was on social media like who we snatching from the portal next, lol.. The big dawgs have hopped in now, seeing how LSU got Burrow and Okla heisman QB were transfers, Bama probably not even make the championship game without Jameson Williams..
Sometimes its not even hopping on guys early because some dudes have whispers BEFORE their name is even officially in the portal and they already locked up once it does. Mario has alot of pluses and maybe more like Dabo with building his roster with high school recruits but if he learned anything from Saban I hope its to be adaptable and embrace change. He better be all over the portal because even the BEST teams have holes and you can improve with the talent thats passing thru..
