@ntxduck Then the AD had Diaz as his go-to guy and it happened extremely quickly without a coaching search as I said. Point is, your boy Cristobal didn't turn down Miami and is gone if he gets that job offer. Even if he manages to have some success at Oregon he'll be snatched up by Miami or a bigger program in a couple years. Oregon will always be the bridesmaid, never the bride.
You live in an alternate reality.
Mario didn't turn down the Miami job to stay at Oregon. That's a fact bud.
There's nothing that's said that one way or another, so it doesn't matter. I never made that assertion. Just calling you out for the many lies you throw out there that are complete bullshit.
Not lies. I was spit balling possible scenarios. Never said they were fact. [/b]What is fact is Mario was never offered the Miami job or even offered an interview or shown any interest by the Miami AD at all. Miami immediately had their guy in Diaz. He was named the head coach the same day the previous one announced his retirement for fuck sake you idiot. Mario didn't turn down Miami. Don't get it twisted and don't be stupid enough to buy his car salesman bullshit about needing to be dragged away from Oregon kicking and screaming.
Sure.
And nobody ever said that Mario turned down anybody. Those are the conversations you have in your mind with imaginary bros. Bro.
Yeah tell that to all the quooks slobbering all over Mario's dick saying "I knew he wasn't leaving" or "He's committed to Oregon and doing something special here" or "He's a man of integrity". Dude wasn't offered the job. If he had been he'd be Miami's next head coach. Oregon is just not a destination job. It's a stepping stone to bigger and better jobs.
With no way of knowing, let's just say you're right.
Who cares? Do you think if by some stroke of luck Mario were coaching Washington that it would be different? It wouldn't. Seattle is as much Mars to a S. Fla. guy as Eugene. Nobody in Miami thinks of Washington any different than any other P12 team. You do. They don't.
Let's say Washington picked up Spurier when Florida did ... right after turning Duke respectable. Then the Florida job opened up. Do you think Spurier says no to Florida? If you do, you don't know anything. He would dump Washington in a minute to coach Florida.
It was often said that Urban would dump any job he had if the ND job came open. So, even at Florida, where he was busy winning two titles, it sounds like he'd have left for the ND job. And he faked a heart attack to leave for another one. So what?
Washington got lucky and found a good (great?) coach at the right point in his career who wants to live in the PNW for life. What if you found a great coach who would only coach here for a while and then leave?
So, Mario would leave for Miami. A lot of people would dump Washington to coach at Miami.
So, Willie actually did leave for FSU. A lot of coaches would dump Washington for a chance to coach Florida State.
This point that you work so hard to prove doesn't really matter.
