Jon Joseph Moderator No. 2 Share Posted April 16 It looks like one of the three players will be missed for sure. Mari(o) is now 12-13 at Miami. If Miami doesn't challenge for the ACC title this season, we could see a lot more players leaving the U. And maybe Mari(o) too. Manny Diaz, now the HC at Duke, was more successful as Miami's HC at half the money if that. Florida did not go bowling last year but in the 2024 opener in Gainesville, I think UF will defeat the U. No Clemson, Notre Dame on the schedule, and FSU in the Miami Dolphins stadium. This puts more pressure on the Canes and Cristobal. Mari(o) signed a 10-year, $80M deal plus bonuses. $16M in the first 2 seasons has produced a dozen wins; $1.33 M per victory. Hell of an ROI. 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then be underwhelmed and then frustrated and then angry at a season of lost opportunities. As Duck fans that's how most of us felt. Mario wins the off season. He gets big recruits, and improves his coaching roster (on paper) and it feels like everything is in place for something big. And then it falls apart on game day. Glad we have Lanning is all I can say! 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Remember, not getting what you want, is sometimes an incredible stroke of Luck!" Definitely an upgrade with Coach Lanning. GO DUCKS! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 8 Share Posted April 17 Wow! Miami's Mari(o) hire ROI is far worse than I calculated above. How about $2.5 Million for every win? https://athlonsports.com/college-football/everyone-same-reaction-miami-head-coach-mario-cristobal-shocking-2022-salary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 9 Share Posted April 17 Too much pressure on the highest-paid, single-season, private school coach? Laugh Out Loud! And Charles was called out for seeing through this recruiting champ/coaching chump, early on? https://athlonsports.com/college-football/major-cfb-head-coach-mario-cristobal-pressure-transfer-portal-window 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
