Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted January 27, 2022 We have been discussing it here, but even some of the inside faithful at the "U" are beginning to wonder out loud about his hiring of coaches. It makes it worse that Lanning's staff is rated so much higher... "Some criticism is that despite significantly more money to spend than in past staffs, the waiting to hire coaches could hinder Cristobal."

jrw Moderator No. 6 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Even one of the Mario supporters in the comments section on that article has it figured out: "At the end of the day, Mario might not be an elite coach. However, he is an elite recruiter..." It will take some time, but the water will seek its own level. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Charles No. 7 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Being manhandled by Utah twice in three weeks with superior athletes and so much on the line should have caused someone to hit the pause button. Oh well, you get what you pay for...or is it you get what you deserve? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Haulin No. 9 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Miami should have consulted Mike Leach before giving Mario 8 mil. Leach called it that first season at Oregon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 11 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I think The U will rue the day it so unceremoniously dumped Manny Diaz. Manny's teams played hard every game and the QB of the future emerged. Mario: Recruiting Champ and Coaching Chump. Under Diaz, the team had a nice mix of running and passing the ball. Now? I think expectations at The U vastly exceed what a small private school with its stadium 30 miles away is going to be able to achieve. As I've asked before, did the boosters who pushed for Mario watch anything but the recruiting rankings and the Ohio State game? Have they not seen Herbert in the NFL vs Herbert under Mario? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's great that the Pirate is sailing west this season to play Arizona and has other H+H series set up with Pac-12 teams. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget they PAID us first so they could pay him that much. Again... We should thank Cristobal for leaving and appropriate what he has done for our program. He left at the perfect time for us. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
