🏈 Reports say Cristobal is Miami's top pick for head coaching position

[Bama Ravens]

Report: Alabama’s Mario Cristobal is top candidate for Miami job

If he goes, we need to try to get Stoutland back. He was the architect of our most dominant lines in 2011 and 2012.

Would LOVE to have Stoutland back...Mario is a great recruiter, that would be the only loss...imo

Mario gets a bad rep for being hamstrung with Kiffin's blocking schemes.

But but but Stoutland plays for my other team. Don't take him!! (conflict of interest)

Maybe Stoutland wants to coach for a winner? :rolf:

Please lord let it be true. Cristobal is a great recruiter but a pretty awful position coach. Would be a great move for both teams in my opinion

I've heard that @TerryP has already contacted the next OL coach should Mario head home to Miami. Non other than "Bucket Step" Bob Connelly! :sarcasm:

Worst damn OL coach that I have EVER seen!!!

Cristobal may be the fan favorite or the media favorite. The school won't say anything and hasn't been in touch with him yet.

That would be an unusual path to a rather high end program (I know, not in some time). Most up & comers have sustained success at a smaller program and are snatched up by a bigger fish. Cristobal was fired by FIU after 5 years going 4-18 in final 22 games. FIU's football program was not established (2nd coach in history of program) and lost every game the season before and Cristobal looked like he was turning things around but petered out and was fired. In his defense, FIU still hasn't been very competitive since his firing so I don't guess he is being penalized for his stint there. Mario does seem to be a good recruiter, but so do most of the assistants that come & go. The secret, they are recruiting for ALABAMA. Don't know enough about coaching OL to evaluate his coaching. I do know we played better vs LSU and it has been documented how little game experience this line had individually as well as a unit which I do know enough to understand to be pretty important. If he goes, wish him well and thank him for his time at Bama.

I do feel safe in saying CNS will find us a new one and In Saban I Trust.

True story. I agree that it would be a questionable decision to hire MC as a head coach, but he has received undue criticism for his OL coaching abilities.

There's currently a debate within Miami about do they go with someone who comes from the program or do they go with a proven winner (I think it's interesting that the two don't coexist). They already tried Randy Shannon and that didn't work. They should look at the Alabama history and see that someone from within the program doesn't necessarily work today. The challenge is they don't have big pockets to pay a Saban-type coach. Game day revenues go to pay for the use of "their" stadium.
