I doubt Miami can compete with Phil Knight’s money so unless Mario’s wife hates Oregon …
Soffer’s are billionaires so there is money. Not, Phil Knight money but money. I just don’t see it happening because it isn’t the $10M buy-outs but the additional $10M/yr that gets Miami in the right position.

HOW MANY YEARS WOULD THE FIRED FIU COACH GET?
I HEARD THE ONE YEAR ON SABAN HE WAS GIVEN THE SABAN COACHING SPELL…
HE HAS SABAN MONEY AT OREGON…
WON’T HAVE SABAN MONEY HERE…
Miami’s staff gets paid around 8-10M and they spend $53M/year.
Oregon’s staff gets around 10M and they spend $33M/year.
Bama’s staff gets around 17M.
Four years with Saban is better than two with Mack Brown.
Getting fired from FIU in 2012 vs fired after two years as DC.
“On September 7, 2013, the Longhorns’ defense, under Diaz, gave up a school record 550 yards rushing”
“On December 12, 2020, the Hurricanes’ defense, under Diaz, gave up a school record 554 yards rushing”
Mario has a similar number of blue-chippers at Oregon as Miami yet walked out of the horseshoe with the W, the first regular-season loss for Day. He has a similar staff budget as Miami as well.
SO MANY DIAZ HAD A 4TH RANK TOTAL DEFENSE IN THE NATION AND #1 IN SEVERAL CATEGORIES IN THE NATION…
MARIO WAS A CO/OC ONE YEAR…
MARIO IS A BETTER SCHEMER APPARENTLY…
MARIO GOT FIRED FROM FIU…
MANNY IS 15-12…
MARIO IS 55-57…
DID I MENTION MARIO GOT FIRED FROM FIU BY PETE GARCIA?
MANNY DIAZ…
MARIO CRISTOBAL…
WE ARE WISHING FOR A COACH THAT IS 55-57…
I COULDN’T EVEN MAKE THIS UP…
At this point who else you think we get?!?
I’d take Cristobal in a heart beat
Coach from Iowa State…I’d take him too
I would take you right now
I just know Manny is failing and the next 3 games will either get the train back on the tracks or lead to Manny being shown the door. Go 3-0 with a 4-2 record and we will be talking about the bad scheduling. Go 1-2 with a 2-4 record and you better expect your boy to get fired.
As for Mario, I wasn’t a fan of him but he sure as heck as turned his resume around. If they are willing to support him with the budget then I can get on-board.
I can also get on-board with hiring a DC and OC worthy of being at Miami under Diaz if he some how turns this around.
Just know that your arguments here have no foundation and Manny is doing a controlled demo. You wanted to talk about Bama having blue chippers. Miami’s talent is top 15 so there is no excuse to lose to CC, UVA, NCSt, GT, Pitt. Only UNC has close to the same talent!
Yes, the FSU coach is shitting the bed too. Only difference, he has been at FSU for two years vs Manny’s six.
But why would Mario take the job?!
Alma mater. It’s always a dream to bring the program back to glory. He’d be a legend.
He has said it is one of two jobs he would leave Oregon for. Wife wants to live in South Florida.
I’m would not take the job without some major money behind the move not just for me but the full athletic staff.
How much is it worth for your wife to stop bitching at you?
Easily 2M to 3M.
I don’t see Mario coming to UM but who knows?
Probably better if Manny salvages the season and gets to year 4. If the team still sucks after year 4, dump him.
A lot probably depends on this year’s recruiting class.
A lot depends on the next 3 weeks!
4-2 and Manny makes it to year 4… who knows he may even land an elite class if the momentum continues.
I expect 2-4 or 3-3(at best) which continues the drama. The BOT doesn’t care about athletics and until a BOT wants to hire the right AD and staff, we will continue to hope.
I’m good with hoping Manny will right the ship but it is just that HOPE. It isn’t grounded in the real world.
