Miami actively trying to hire Mario? Edit: MC is Miami's HC

This is a disaster scenario, and will set the program back multiple years. The likelihood of hiring another candidate in time to salvage any of the recruiting class is slim, and there aren’t really any overwhelming candidates out there. Hopefully they don’t have too many guys already in the program defect, because maybe they can make up for this shabby class through the portal the next few years as the current guys mature into upperclassmen and keep them respectable. But if they see a lot of transfers, it’s going to be a rough few years. People will be back to begging for 10-3 seasons.

I really hate this time of year, especially after how many times Oregon has had to go through this now plus the added pressure of early signing day.

According to fox it is a done deal Mario and several assistants to Miami

The coaches that come to mind are Mirabal, Williams and Mastro.

How much money does a person need?

If MC leaves then he is scum just like Taggert. Scum. There appears to be little loyalty or genuine caring any more. It's a sad commentary on the culture.

Absurd take. I’m sure it’s his dream to coach at his alma mater and potentially bring them back to glory. Not to mention, it allows him to be home and close to his family, including his ailing mom. Taggart was different, because of the way he approached the rumors and doing it after only one year. By all accounts, Cristobal turned them down last coaching search, which is why Diaz ended up there. Not everyone that leaves the program is a scumbag. It’s clearly not simply about the money, because Oregon is essentially offering him what Miami is.

Don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way to Miami.

I think that's a bit extreme. What Taggart did by lying wasn't cool, but this is much different. MC already said that it wasn't about the money. I'd hate to be in his position, personally - excluding the money, of course.

Miami is his alma mater, his home, it's where he grew up. His Mother is ill and his family is there. Also, I can't imagine the peer pressure that he's under from family, friends, alumni, former teammates, yada, yada. He might be resented by those close to him if he were to stay at Oregon, especially if he ends up winning a natty.

I'm not saying that he's going or staying because I have no idea. I'm just saying that saying he's like Taggart or that he's "scum" is taking things too far - in my opinion. Besides just being a football coach, he's also a human being and he needs to do what's best for him and his family.

Unless Cyrus Moss tells a reporter in a few weeks a different story about last night's meeting with Mario, I'd say he's been about as transparent and honest as we could expect him to be at this point. He does need to make a decision today though and he had once committed to Rutgers before staying at FIU

Well that sure is a kick to the nuts. At least all of the good head coaches have already been snatched up, so I'm sure whatever table scraps we find will do a wonderful job.

Something I just saw pointed out on Twitter is that today is the 4-year anniversary of Taggart leaving Oregon for Florida State. That'd really suck for MC to leave on the same day.

Doesn't it seem a bit odd that he's visiting recruits with the Oregon staff right now if this is supposedly a done deal? If he was gonna leave, why would he be there right now?

Maybe to tell some of the recruits face to face? Does seem slightly strange otherwise.
