And on the other side of the coin why are you and a handful of people not in favor of Mstio.
Talk is cheap. Results matter. Opening of that video said 18 starters back. How did that work out?Because he has presence. Young, tall, fit, fiery, guy that has a voice that projects.
I have had one on one conversations with both kyle and Mario. Every time I spoke to kyle I would leave saying I like kyle. Every time I would speak football with Mario I would get excited about football. Kids would want to play for him.
Sorry, but this video did not make me excited about football. At all. Either did the other one.Because he has presence. Young, tall, fit, fiery, guy that has a voice that projects.

Hiring a consistent big conference winner like Richt is much much less of a crapshootFIU he had high school facilities to recruit with.. Look it is a crapshoot. I thought Mike Rice was a good hire and look how they worked out.

3-9 in 2012. Including a 48-20 shellacing by Louisiana Lafayette (who?) and getting clobbered by a mediocre Duke 46-26.

The only situations that matter are year 5 (or was it 6) with 18 returning starters, he went 3-9. The year after, with his recruits, they went 1-11. No thanks.Did you know who FIU was before he took the job? Situations matter too
He's a lifetime OL coach...trust me.
Al, you know Mario, what happened down in Florida when that program collapsed? My guess is he lost a great coordinator after the 2011 season, like Flood losing the Fridge. He went from Scott Satterfield at OC to Tim Cramsey. Satterfield is now a Head Coach while Cramsey is OC at Montana State.Thankfully, I know better, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
Didn't see where anybody blamed Laviano for the Maryland loss! Where did you come up with that?These are the same people who blame the QB (on a run first team - who had a 21 point lead) for a 46-41 loss. I've given up trying to understand.
Diaco or Babers.Here's the issue-there is a 95% chance that the person we get is at Christobal's level. "Lets get Les Miles"..."Lets get Mark Richt"..really? Please come to Earth, and if you don't like Mario then suggest a name just like him-Robb Smith, Mark Whipple, Todd Grantham, people like that. Mario is being mentioned because he is one of the top choices for our REALISTIC list.

When you have to complement a coach's resume by saying "he's tall and fiery," he has a lackluster resume.
Rutgersal said it pretty well actually. I guess I wouldn't be to upset with him. But he's gotta recruit like crazyhow 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.

It's too hard to be trying to nail it with both coordinators evry other year. We've done this. Yes, Mario's charisma is five times what we've had but in the end, it's about the schemes as much as anything and it just seems like we'll be in the same boat, again.

People see Mario and think, "Schiano, 2005."
What we don't need is another guy to take a small time operation and make it bigger. We've already had that. We need someone to make serious inroads in recruiting and make some waves with big wins.
this is about hiring a young, hungry staff, willing to roll their sleeves up, and make a name for themselves. this is a guy who can recruit at the highest level, so that we can land the talent to be more competitive in the big 10. Look at the bemouths he has at alabama. he'd recruit guys like this to put the power back in our power running game. this is what we need more of:
Thanks, Al. You made me feel better about the potential hire. Guess we'll see how it all plays out.I would liken FIU to Livingston or Rutgers Newark. Its a very, very, diverse campus, and its hard to get players there. when he started, they had no stadium, no weight room, and not much else. the previous coach was Don Strock and he went 0-11. despite these limitations, Mario convinced TY Hilton to come to FIU and he ultimately was the catalyst for turning things around. Hilton was drafted in 2012, which was a rebuilding year, which is why the team struggled, and Mario was fired after that year. during his time there, though, he won a conference championship, which i found to be miraculous, given how they have so little to offer. and he also got a modest stadium built and had a modest weight room built.
Mario could get James Coley to be our OC, who is also regarded as a strong recruiter. Coley, who previously worked under Mario, recruited Matias, from Hudson County, to FSU which broke my and many others hearts. Between Coley and Mario, we would shut down Hudson County, NJ to PSU. Then we would work on walling off the rest of the state. Coley was al goldens OC, and is still with Miami, but i'm sure he would jump, as his status is tenuous at best, thx to goldens firing. as far as DC. Mario belongs to a large network of players who have produced good coordinators, which i'm sure he'd rely on, to hire a good dc. would love it though if he could get rob smith.
It's real easy to be a top recruiter with Saban and the army of Alabama bag men closing the deal.
The only situations that matter are year 5 (or was it 6) with 18 returning starters, he went 3-9. The year after, with his recruits, they went 1-11. No thanks.
Amazing how excuses are acceptable for potential hires, but former coaches were not allowed any excuses.
