Between that and nobody showing up to their games anymore, sure seems like a no brainer that everyone should want that job lol.greenyellow wrote:They are.

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
Even though this meeting was previously scheduled, it seems the team may find out soon about his intentions.

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
Having lived in Miami and Eugene: I will say, an opportunity to live in Miami is such a slam dunk, especially for people with ties there, that this is almost certain. Plus, staying in Oregon he will be hit with more questions and critics right now, where in Miami he can fix and make himself look good (unless he totally bombs).

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
I visited a hurricane message board, the short bit I read they seem pretty even keel with everything. But they, like us, can’t make sense of the confusion and blame the media and Miami. Most of the post are not happy with the s*** show they are putting on and they are not happy with how they are handling Diaz.

That right there tells me he's gone. He wouldn't bother to drag the entire team and staff in on a Sunday night to tell them he isn't going anywhere. He could have waited till regular team meetings this week. That tells me he is trying to beat ESPN and the media from dropping it before they hear it from him.

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
As green yellow posted the team meeting was already scheduled, Mario is not dragging anyone in. He could also be telling his team he is staying so let get to work on OklahomaQuackininBama wrote:(Speculation)greenyellow wrote:Even though this meeting was previously scheduled, it seems the team may find out soon about his intentions.

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
Well we will find out in 90+ minutes. Based on the report that everything has been laid out for him and that it's up to him to decide which contract he wants to sign I think it could go either way but I am left feeling like he'd do a team meeting to leave but not to stay.QuackininBama wrote:(Speculation)greenyellow wrote:Even though this meeting was previously scheduled, it seems the team may find out soon about his intentions.

Guarantee you SOMEONE is going to drop it before 7:00. ESPN, Fox News, NFL.com.......going to refresh the news over the next two hours. Journalists just can't help themselves. Someone is going to want to be the first.

Not going to link it but I gotta admit, that was a clever headline:

Re: Miami actively trying to hire Mario?
If I am following Mario’s day correctly, he’s made three recruiting visits in duck gear today, accepted a bowl invitation, and will be in Eugene for a regular scheduled team meeting with his players. To me it doesn’t sound like a man on his way out the door in a few hours. If he does leave I hope he doesn’t stay for the bowl game, the season will be over anyway……. Move forward Ducks.
