    For what it's worth I'm hearing Cristobal had his agent contact Miami inquiring about the job. If offered, he would have taken it in a heart beat. It appears the Miami AD knew Richt was stepping away for some time in advance and already had his guy lined up and that's evident with how fast Diaz was hired. The reports that Crisobal was the top candidate were false. Oregon is still a stepping stone. Ducks better hope Diaz does well at Miami or else they'll be looking for a new head coach again in a couple years if Cristobal proves himself as a coach and manages to get Oregon from fourth to second in the North.

    This did not age well

    Makes sense when you think about it.

    Step one: find out from Richt we'll ahead of time that he's retiring, but keep it quiet.

    Step two: ID Diaz as your first choice.

    Step three: let yourbforst choice out the door to sign as a HC with a buyout. What could go wrong?

    Step four: Surprise! Announce Richt's retirement.

    Step five: call your guy - the one you could have told to sit tight for what was coming - to make a U turn and be your head coach. It's $4 million more expensive now? No big deal.

    Seems plausible.
    Diaz was hired by Temple 18 days ago. Between then and prior to Miami's bowl game it is likely Richt informed the Miami AD he was stepping away in which case the coaching search began and Diaz was the top target and Diaz verbally agreed to take the job. Then Richt waited until after the early signing period and bowl game to announce his retirement so that it wouldn't be a distraction and so their recruiting class wouldn't collapse. In the same day Richt announces his retirement, Diaz is "hired" without any public coaching search. In reality, he had already been hired but had to wait for it to be official after Miami's bowl game. Point is, Cristobal wanted the job but wasn't offered. If he's offered that job in the future he gone.
    Seems as plausible as your first scenario.

    Of course, your hot take didn't age well, per usual.

    At first I thought you were whooshing. Then I remembered.

    You proved my point. MIAMI did not inquire about Cristobal. It was the other way around. Cristy had his agent reach out but the job was already going to some one else. Cristobal wasn't the top target but he'd leave Oregon in a hot second for that job.

    Since the rest of your story checked out, I see no reason not to trust your current hot take. So ok!

    @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.

    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. 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.

    Yes there is. New coach hired same day as former coach announces retirement. New coach was the Miami DC this past season. Common sense, logic, and reports say Diaz was the #1 target and jumped at it.

    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.

    After today’s shit show, Mario should suck Phil’s dick furiously for not firing him on the 50 yard line.

    Peter Principle in place with CrystalBalz. He’s fucked as long as Peterman, Leach, Shaw and Wilcox are rolling the north.

    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.

    Chintresting to see what he does with Arroyo. That will say a lot.

    Diaz fired the entire offensive staff w/in 24 hours. That's a good start. He also basically told the remaining QBs on scholly that nobody is safe and that they'll be looking for upgrade there anywhere they can find it ... including grad transfer.

    Oregon's season wasn't quite as disastrous as Miami's, but their offense wasn't great. I can see what he's trying to do there with the power running game, but you need more than a threat of throwing to one guy to make that work. And they were predictable. And, yes, Herbert regressed, or at best didn't get better. The kid has no pocket presence at all.

    I think dummy is right. I don't think he was approached. I think it was Diaz immediately. I'm guessing rational is (1) he was in charge of the thing that went right for Miami this year, (2) he's a great recruiter and (3) damage control the class, which appears to be working.
