Haywarduck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted October 4, 2022 MariØ signed a 10 year $80 million dollar contract. History isn't his, or I suppose Miami's, friend when looking at Oregon head coaches going to other schools. How long do you think he lasts? With the demands of the alumni and MarØ's thin skin I don't think he will last through the 3rd season. He is probably going to lose more games than the alumni want this season, but I can't see it ending that soon. It is like watching two trains headed straight for each other from afar. MariØ's words are easy to buy into, but the reality is where the collision will occur. The alumni bought the words, like we did, but those words don't add up to much. Miami is headed for an FSU, Nebraska like ending with this big hire. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Ducky No. 2 Share Posted October 4, 2022 With the huge amount of money Miami payed for this guy, had to bite my tongue there, they may not have much patience with mister run up the middle into a nine man front guy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krsmqn No. 3 Share Posted October 4, 2022 He had a win last weekend (because they had a bye ), so his seat prolly isn't any hotter, but I feel like Miami will ride out the season with him, at least. Mariø will win a few more games, just enough to cool his seat a bit. He will talk big all off season long, pumping more sunshine, and prolly repeat this years results again next season. That's far enough into the future for me. I feel if his recruiting holds, he will get through 2 seasons. Beyond that, who knows. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 4 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I don’t know what his buy out is. His relative who is helping fund things has been giving him glowing reviews. I would say he lasts as long as Jimbo at A&M. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeotechDuck No. 5 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I’ll guess 5 years. He will end up recruiting well enough to win 8 to 10 games a year in the ACC. It is not like there is much competition outside of Clemson and 1-2 other schools that get hot or are set up for a good year, like an FSU, NCSU, UNC or maybe Wake. Once fans realize that his conservative style won’t win them playoff games, he will eventually get replaced. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that, who knows. Yeah, this is kinda what I'm thinking: two full seasons, possibly, (but only possibly) a third - but not if they don't climb back into the Top 25 in rankings. They didn't pay those gazillions of $ to be waiting around to get back in the title picture. My guess is he'll do a little better next year, then fall flat in the middle of the 3rd year and get let go. But I really don't care. GO OREGON!

Mic No. 8 Share Posted October 4, 2022 2.5 years, then tears. That's my complete guess. 2.5 years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzDucksIt No. 9 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Oh my Duck Feathers! In week #6 of the season and ALREADY, Buyers Remorse in Miami. . . . Got to pay off Mario's new digs first, then you can let him go. . . "Tropical Storm Mario" has left the building well The Eastern Pacific back in 2019, was a weak storm that gradually lost speed, never making land fall. Somehow, made it to Miami though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 11 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I am sticking with my original prediction, of four years. Due to recruiting alone, he will improve them from where they were and fans will be patient but antsy as he loses games that he shouldn’t. By the end of the fourth year, they will be thinking as Oregon fans dead at the end of our fourth year of him. 3 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47sgs No. 12 Share Posted October 5, 2022 It's hilarious reading some of the Miami forums. They're blaming the quality of their players, the players drive and physicality, the coaching staff, specifically their OC. They're rationalizing that it takes time to get "his players", and to implement his system. Most simply refuse to see Mari-no-o's shortcomings as a head coach. They don't recognize his stubborness, his conservative physical game plan, his inability to trust his OCs to use his knowledge to get an offense that best utilizes their players talents and abilities. They don't see his failure to loosen his reins and let his staff do what they're there to do, they don't see his in game coaching weaknesses, nor his thin skin when criticized. I appeciate what he did while here, his recruiting , his timely replacing of Taggart, but once he was booed here for his pathetic, predictable conservative offense, he was mentally out the door. Thank you Miami. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kamikaze Kid Moderator No. 14 Share Posted October 5, 2022 One of the things creating Miami’s blind spot to Mario’s coaching woes, is their lack of respect for Oregon. They say he won the PAC 12 and got to the Rose Bowl. What they don’t comprehend is that every UO coach that’s been here two years or more, has also one the PAC and played in the Rose Bowl or NY 6 equivalent. UO has basically been the Clemson of the PAC for the last 15 years. The brand has been built. Helfrich coasted to the Championship with Chip’s machine. Mario’s peak year was 2019. The seniors leading that team were Justin Herbert and Troy Dye. I’d say they took the team as far as they could. Mario kept them from playing in the Natty. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyjesus615 No. 15 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I'm saying 4 years before he's coaching Bluefield State College or Judson University. I think the university will give him a shot with Jake Garcia. They are going to want to see what their investment does with a 5 star QB. If Josh Gattis sticks around for at least one season with Garcia and gets production out of him that may stretch him to approximately the 4 year mark. What I see happening is Jake Garcia starts out promising and then starts to regress under the prevent offense. Josh Gattis gets a head coaching gig and MC brings in another OC. The fans and the university will, at that point, see the offense remaining the same and understand the root of the problem lies not with his supporting staff but MC himself. MC should have a roster full of talent that is going absolutely no where. By year 4, Manny Diaz gives a slight chuckle when he wakes up Monday morning of week 6 to read that Mario Cristobal and Dan Radakovich have been relieved of their positions. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
