Coaching Carousel 2021

[crimsonaudio]

The fact that they hired a football coach without an AD should tell you that they are not. The University of Miami is in Coral Gables and only cares about keeping people out of their little secluded community. That’s why they play at the Dolphins stadium to begin with.

The behind the scenes word has it that Radakovich wanted Cristobal and was waiting to see if he would accept before accepting the job himself.

I'm not sure this is as dysfunctional as you want to believe.

 

[Ole Man Dan]

Didn't I just read Old Miss extended Kiffin's contract today along the lines of $7.5 mil per annum?

Super Mario is on his way to Miami. He's from Miami, went to school there, coached there, and has family there... It's his dream job.
I expect Mario to sign a lot of Florida recruits. (He learned from the best)

 

[bamadwain]

Nah he never coached UO. His predecessor at Boise did though and he did interview for the job before CMC was promoted.

He was a grad assistant

it’s not wanting to believe it, it’s what it is. This is Tennessee with a beach.

He also got ran over by the Tide as an OL in 1992 in the NC game

From 1997-2006 Alabama has had 3 10 win seasons and 1 SEC title with the likes of Mike Dubose, Franchonie, and Shula. That’s playing a SEC schedule with a good portion of it on. Probation.

From 2004- present… Miami has 1 10 win season and only 1 ACCCG appearance.

 

[AUDub]

He was a grad assistant

He graduated from Boise then immediately went to Eastern Oregon, an NAIA school, to be a positional coach, then returned to Boise the next year as a GA.

The plan is to build a 50k stadium on campus, supposedly.

 

[UntouchableCrew]

Yes because the “sources” in Miami were so convinced they had him and many on here were so sure he would jump to Miami if Manny was fired

Pretty sure Cristobal has been their #1 target from the jump.

I’ll believe it when I see it

Pretty sure Cristobal has been their #1 target from the jump.

Maybe, but it’s still a bad hire, and it still doesn’t negate all the nonsense they put out that Kiffin was leaving Ole Miss.

 

[DogPatch]

And he's an ace recruiter that has relationships in the area. He really might be the guy that can bring Miami back to the forefront of the ACC.

Especially with Venables leaving Clemson, along with the other cracks showing.

IF they can do something like this, it changes everything. But it is telling they are limiting it to 50k.

I'm betting if Alabama was starting over today, with what they know, BDS would be somewhere in the 80k range. And Bama football has a MUCH larger footprint than UM ever could.

Kiffin goes to Boca and Kicks butt.

Super Mario goes to FIU and falls flat on his butt.

Tell me who actually knows Miami and who is just from there.

Cristobal may can recruit in favorable situations but his choking in big moments is going to get him.

Very true. The sweet spot was 83k like we were before the end zone expansions. Maybe a bit more. But I think there was a desire to have the biggest stadium in the SEC, when it was realized that the demand was there to fill it on a consistent basis. Of course, Tennessee cheated their numbers, and A&M joined the league with a massive stadium expansion, and then the bottom fell out in ticket demand. Now I think even LSU has a larger stadium than BDS.

 

[UntouchableCrew]

IF they can do something like this, it changes everything. But it is telling they are limiting it to 50k.

A) Agree, huge if, but potential gamechanger.

B) Smart to know who they are and know their limits. An intimate 50k stadium serves them better than a massive one that looks empty on TV.

Alabama should have never went 100k, but they should have closed the end zones. 80-90k is better for us really.

Ok, didn't know that it was told on two different radio shows today that he was grad assistant at Oregon, my bad

 

[BamaMoon]

I think the size of BDS is just fine even as big as it is. But the ticket/food prices have got out of control for most average folks. When you can buy a huge 75 inch TV for just a few hundred dollars it makes dropping that much or more for a day at BDS harder to do. But if Bama wants those upper EZ seats full bring down the ticket prices and folks will still come to the games because you can't replicate that atmosphere sitting in front of a TV, no matter how big it is. JMO.

I get that he’s from there and played there, but there was zero honor in the way UM handled this situation, and zero honor in Cristobol’s part in it. They’ve always been a trash program and they just doubled down on being a trash program. I hope they lose every game they play. I’m embarrassed that guy ever had anything to do with our program.
