Looks like a bit of a false alarm but still not good to be left hanging like this.

I don’t think anyone actually knows because Mario doesn’t even know. Which is why he’s still going about recruiting.

I’m sure when he’s talking with Miami people he’s telling them what they’re wanting to hear and they’re feeling like it’s a done deal, even if it isn’t.

Agreed, I think its been totally irresponsible of Miami media people who kept tweeting about speculation and it snowballed. Pretty shitty to someone like Manny Diaz IMO. I have yet to see anything other than "sources say Miami is trying to hire cristobal" but everyone is acting like he's already on a plane to Miami.

This has all been a joke. Terribly handled by all. This is Miami being unprepared and rushing to hire Cristobal so he doesn't sign an extension. If I was Cristobal that would scare me but whatever.

If I were Mario, I’d want to know who the AD will be prior to signing. That person is going to be the one that will be responsible for providing all the resources that the program will need to succeed. You would think Miami would do this in the reverse order. What a mess. Hopefully the way they are handling this gives him some pause .

I think it would be funny if Diaz quit after being retained. This nonsense cannot feel good.

Would be humorous, but I don’t think he’ll forget $3.5-4M to be petty. I would accept the indignation. Not like he has suitors lining up for his services, certainly not with near that amount of money on the table.

At least Mario is still in Oregon gear for the press conference.

Man, I get the appeal of going home at some point but it just doesn't make sense right now. If Mario does this, I would expect similar results to here. He will pull in some amazing classes but always come up short against the likes of Clemson. If Miami will do this to Diaz, then they will absolutely do this to Mario. He will end up coaching the O Line again at the end of it all.

My source just said Chip is officially back!
It will be announced at Autzen press conference tomorrow afternoon!

I tend to agree. Hopefully he looks up how Taggart is doing.

Aren't Miami's football facilities supposed to be super outdated too?

I think the two Utah losses were probably a punch in the face for him too, and he realizes he has some real work to do at Oregon. He might see it as an easier road to start all over at Miami, because he’ll have plenty of excuses and leeway again. If he stays at Oregon and it’s the same story next season he’s suddenly on the path to getting canned and tossed in the failed HC bin.
