[@v.l.c3979]

Yes, that would be nice

[@2017NationalChamps]

Thanks for asking about Jacuri Brown

[@NoFace-ke9pc]

Ucf gonna be good for him. We will route for his success. We love dude.

[@jacobbailey6419]

Nobody cares

[@vanallen1673]

Correction. They only recently acquired high levels talents.

[@RS4KING]

Let's go Canes!

Neil Brown recruited 3 of their best players out of HS to WVU. Mesidor, Brown, and Porter.

thanks neil!

Talk is cheap. Mario has to win. No more bs and politico speech. He's a good talker. Now he needs to coach and develop

[@fkcavs]

He definitely needs to show notable improvement this year. But people need to acknowledge the team he inherited was awful from a talent perspective yet everyone expected Mario to win big immediately. Most of our fan base massively overrates our players, especially the kids from South Florida.

[@Nonyabizzness305]

Hes been there 2 years my lord the team has been horrible for 20 years it take a little bit of time to get his players and Coaches in there the team has definitely looks alot better than it has in years

[@realcoolbreeze]

Coach C s been at the U 2years. Not 5. Rome wasn t built in a day. I hate any loss but the Hurricanes have only been average the past 20 years except for a few good players occassionally. Recruiting s been the key to significantly improving the football team. The portal will help even more. Win and the good players will come. Hopefully, that will happen and we can turn the corner. The U is almost back on track in the college football world.

[@Rag65]

Facts....Mario is a Trash Coach. 12 - 13 is who Mario is. Kalen DeBoer took over a 4-8 Washington team and went 25 - 3. Mario took over a 7 - 5 team and went 12 - 13 over the same 2 years.

[@fkcavs]

@Rag65 This might shock you but Washington has more talent than Miami at the time DeBoer took over. Everyone thinks Miami talent is better than it is. When your secondary can't match up speed with Middle Tennessee State its not coaching its a lack of talent & athleticism.

How bout them CANES manny

[@gillwilson7342]

Speaking from the Boots on the Ground from South Florida raised the early 1998-2005 we made COLOR SHIELDS A THING LOOK BACK AT SEAN TAYLOR, WILLIS , MAJORITY OF EVERYONE LOOKED LIKE A GLADIATOR IN THE HOODS OF SOUTH FLORIDA THE SHIELDS WAS A WAY OF NOTICING WHO WAS THE PLAYMAKERS ITS DEEPER THAN THE "U" IT WAS OUR LITTLE LEAGUE CULTURE IN THE EARLY 90'S ANYONE FROM THE CRIB UNDERSTAND THE REAL SWAGGER WE NEVER GET CREDIT FOR...💯

[@Knightowl1980]

Have heard this song and dance before.

[@jaimealvarezmd7245]

Yup.

[@eizaguirre2184]

True.. but this is the first time Miami has gone all in under Cristobal.

[@Knightowl1980]

@@eizaguirre2184 mmhmm

[@TeachinTV]

Mario is a good personnel guy. He's a great salesman for The U. He recruits very well, he's got some good scouts working for him and his assistant coaches are also pretty fair at getting kids to sign. When is he going to become a great coach? Now? Next year? He is definitely NOT an elite football head coach, not a boss on the sidelines. Unless he goes to coaching school and learns about how and when to call time outs, contesting a ref's call, when to kick and when to run a play, when to substitute a player or change a play on the fly, you know, coaching details at which he's proven to be weak. Let us all be satisfied with 8 or 9-win seasons until he finds another job.

[@SkeeterDunn]

And yet he has a better record than both Mike Norvell and Dabo Swinney going into his third year.(compared to their third year)😅😅😅

[@TeachinTV]

@@SkeeterDunnyou're right! A superior comment. They had a lot of adjusting

[@SkeeterDunn]

@TeachinTV so did he. Plus, in spite of all the nay sayers concerning his in-game mistakes, believe it or not, Nick Saban has made the exact same mistakes during his coaching career.
