Bruce Feldman reports that Mario Cristobal is "in the mix"

He's a Rutgers reject and he has only won a crappy Pizza bowl.....if we don't have higher expectations then this.....

Oddly, I don't think Nick Saban is going to be interested in the job. It is necessary to be realistic.

Not happy with his 3-9 yr this past yr, but FIU had serious injury trouble. He is low on my list personally

Yeah what do you expect a coach from fiu to have won exactly?

[MoonknightUSF]

At least put up La Tech type numbers like Sonny Dykes....if we are going to a sunbelt type coach for a savior

[TallyBull]

No thx

Rebuilding year for Cristobal. FIU is down a few scholarships because of NCAA issues, which also doesn't help.

He's not my number one guy, but he'd be a solid hire.

Some of you need to quit with this..."(insert mid-major coach) is only (xx-xx) at (insert mid major)". It rarely tells the story.

You want a guy who can lock down recruits? Cristobal is that guy.

No thanks

Would be on par with Taggert as far as recruiting ability I think. Seems to be a fiery/passionate guy when needed. Inroads with south Florida high schools. Not sure on some of his game day coaching. Seems to have ridden seniors and TY Hilton last year during upsets and good run. Injuries this year, but watched a few Tues/Wed night sunbelt games on espn - team seemed decent on offense like USF was, but seemed up and down overall.

Would be a #3-4 on my list.
