DuckHeart No. 26 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Miami has a lot to offer, family and friends probably being the most important. Then consider weather and proximity to recruits and it is the leader. Then consider that Florida does not have a state income tax. Oregon's taxes incomes over $250,000 (married couple) at 9.9 percent. That's a huge financial advantage. Yes, Oregon has facilities, but those can be built. So, in my view Mario is gone. I'm sure Mullens has a list of HC candidates. Hope Chris Peterson is on it.

Just Ducky No. 27 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I can’t find anything on espn or the Miami Herald Hurricanes sports page that says its a done deal. Hogwash maybe. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 28 Share Posted December 5, 2021 It is clear Mario is taking care of himself, either way. I just want Mullens to take care of The Oregon Football Program, now! Mullens should give Mario a deadline, we love Mario, we don't need to beg Mario, that isn't love, that is desperation. Desperation also comes from the lack of a plan, that is Mullens job. Mullens should be rounding third on an actionable plan for when Mario leaves. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GODUCKS15 No. 30 Share Posted December 5, 2021 So I wonder what recruits living room Mario will be in when he gets the call and says yes to Miami. Then turns to the recruit and asks if he'd like to go to Miami instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had signed a contract then somebody would be scheduling a press conference. Other than recruiting, MC moves slow and methodical. He doesn't need to rush this. The longer he takes the more money he makes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck1984 No. 32 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Mario is a smart guy. Mario is an honest guy. Mario has an agent. An agent is expected to work to get a client the best possible deal. Miami seems to be working with the agent on their best and final offer. Mario’s bosses are free talk to him. They are free to offer him and his agent their best deal. Mario will consider offers and make a decision that is best for him and his family. That is the deal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrw No. 33 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) I would say that Mario is truly undecided, and he and his agent are working this situation for all it's worth to maximize his financial benefit, playing off the two schools against each other.

No matter what Miami offers, MC , his agent and wife should meet face to face with Mullens and PK. It's about honor and integrity. They gave a coach with a losing record, the second chance he desperately needed. His players went to bat for him. Makes sense for a man who preaches loyalty and integrity to turn his back on those who gave him trust and their loyalty. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg this is nuts. Folks, if Mario wanted to stay, he would've taken the Oregon offer on the table and said let's go. But he hasn't. He clearly wants the Miami deal. It's one heck of a bargaining situation to lose to the same team in less than three weeks 75-17 and double your salary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrod No. 41 Share Posted December 5, 2021 what up guys.. lurker who finally decided to sign up and join the discussions.. lol Im really on board with going after Joe Brady!!! This also unfortunately could go bad for Mario. Brady is MIAMI native. I really want to be rid of Cristobal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GODUCKS15 No. 42 Share Posted December 5, 2021 1st off why does Mc have to sign a new contract today? Just so he can settle down a fan base? He can sign when he wants and it really means nothing to anyone but him and the team and recruits. We have no idea what his real intentions are. For all we know he's 100% committed to Oregon and is planning on signing a new contract when he gets off the recruiting trail. Or he is playing both sides as anyone with a tad bit of negotiating skills would do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take on Chris is all the noise fried his love of coaching. I honestly don't think he wants or needs to go back to that crap. If memory is correct he and Helf had a conversation on flight about it all right before he stepped away. Might have been a Canzano article. Does that ring a bell?
