Mario really

[RUJMM78]

The guy has the skillset and determination to be great here.

His won/loss record as a head coach is worse than Flood and any other coach being considered .

You have to look at the record within context. FIU didn't even have a football program, and had very little to offer recruits. schiano, for comparison had a 30-41 record after 6 seasons. He did a good job and subsequently has been working under Saban. No doubt, he's made mistakes, but will be better for the experience.

Obviously you'd prefer to have a name, but this is a solid hire which could work. Thats why TP previously offered him the job.

Tough competition in Miami given who has been interviewing recently. Clearly a B/C level candidate in my book.

The bagmen comments above are stupid as is Al's reference to Tuscaloosa. New Brunswick should be half as nice. UA is a beautiful school and Tuscaloosa is a great college town. Also stupid is the bagmen comments about USC.

What does town beauty have anything to do with the point that money is exchanging hands at programs like Bama and USC?

GO RU

how bout, he led his college football team to a National Championship as a player, he was the GA for another National Championship caliber team which was robbed by the computers in 2000. He helped Schiano turn around Rutgers, he built a program from scratch and obtained excellent results for that program. and he subsequently has been working for Nick Saban, regarded as one of the best coaches in college football, and has recruited and developed the best offensive line in college football.

I'd say thats one hell of a resume and probably as good a candidate as we're going to get.

Who else has offered. ?

Look at the picture of Mario from the other day and look at the stadium behind him. High school teams in Texas have better stadiums.
