I don't know that we are anything alike. Miami has had one top 20 recruiting class after another through multiple coaches since the early 2000s without a whole lot to show for it. Easily, the most underachieving program in the ACC with UNC hard on their heels. They are a talented bunch to be sure as shown in their opening win. Maybe Mario is the savior they have been waiting for all these years after all.
Not possible. Look at all the bad losses he had in his first year there. This board knows that is a harbinger of doom that is a death sentence.
Well, he gets a little longer leash than say Manny who suffered the ignominy of someone hiring a plane to circle Landshark with a banner proclaiming "Fire Manny". They even made fun of his speaking lisp. Mario was a much decorated offensive tackle from the glory days so he has more time. Much like Coach Key.
What if he teaches them how not to tackle?
Then we aren’t any worse off I guess.
I know this doesn't matter but I watched a little of the Texas OU game and to be number 3 Texas had a lot of miss tackles. Player hitting the back not wrapping up.
I nearly came here and posted the same thing… Okie backs just bouncing off tacklers. Glad you stirred the pot first
Oh idk, probably his multiple stints here as DC where the defense was sub par? Some say Miami is still throwing bubble screens to this day...
Because his defense stank both times he was DC here.
And now he is DC at undefeated Oklahoma and we got who we got. Who was our DC last time we beat Ugag or won a bowl game.
It’s a low bar, but he had one of the best defenses of the Johnson era.
It was Roof, but you can fill in the blank in this question and the answers are all different from the coaches we have now, not just the DC:
I understood his bend but don't break defense, but the philosophy ran counter to the ball control offense and our lack of depth too often wore us out.
That is like saying he is the tallest midget
He has better players at OU. He had two chances at Tech and neither of his defenses were any good. Plus, he stank at recruiting and developing players. Fortunately for him, he does not have to recruit at OU.
