So it is no surprise to me that he was let go after this season if the administration found out about it.

Your making some big claims here without a single piece of evidence to support them. Link or it didnt happen.

A fan of the U and FIU, would come to the defense of a HC with very low moral standards when it comes to recruiting. How Ironic.

You guys are foolish to believe that he was fired for going 3-9.

Come on....drop the baseless accusations...

Think about this long and hard...

Z

Still baseless accusations and implications this early. Garcia has been known to fire a coach because he has another one already in line waiting (Rouco for Isiah), and also fired Isiah the day prior to signing day in basketball, and it wasn't because of any of the stuff you are implicating without knowing. So, the story repeats itself and before making accusations as such, I would advise you to think about what I just wrote long and hard as well.....

That's where we agree, Z. It is shocker of a decision, and it's probable there's another stronger reason for the dismissal. However, there's no need to hurl baseless accusations until the truth comes out.

Mario has an impeccable reputation as a recruiter. If he could call a game as well as he recruits we would be undefeated.

Sorry you lost a couple of recruits to FIU but after 6 or 7 years traveling to Lafayette and Monroe, it was bound to happen, esp. with MC recruiting them.

I'm with you on this one bro. Mario had always done better job as a recruiter than as a coach. Still it's sad to see him leave after one bad season...

He may have an impeccable record, but certainly not an impeccable reputation.

Coaching like some occupations is about reputation. In my line of work it is the same as well. I would hate for someone to simply throw some third hand biased conjecture out there about me and I think others would feel the same if they were in the same position. He is no longer with FIU, but I believe he should be treated no worst than anyone else where your reputation is your bread and butter.

Merry Xmas to you too, have one for me when you hit NO.

Hey, just don't believe the proven lies that the Scout writer put forth in one of his recruiting stories......Don't believe him....

First of all we are talking about FIU here. If you want to talk about the U go to the ACC board. Second, im not defending the coach or saying he was fired because of his record. Im saying dont make these claims if you cant back them up with proof. Im not saying your wrong, maybe there were recruiting violations and thats why he lost his job. Im simply saying you have to understand why people dont believe your claims if you are unable to find anything thats supports them. Saying "I know this for a fact" is not going to make everyone believe you.

Looks to me like he was given ultimatums he didn't want to meet and the boss tossed him because he had Butch Davis in his back pocket.

You could be right ark30inf. DJN, our beat writer at the Miami Herald spoke with AD Garcia,

Quote:"It was based on going 3-9 this year with 30 seniors and what was supposed to be his best team," FIU athletic director Pete Garcia told The Herald. "He's done a very good job for this program, but we've gone backwards over the last year and a half. Over the last 22 games, we've gone 8-14."

Quote:This afternoon, I asked Garcia what if, two or three years down the road, FIU remains at three-to-five wins a season after he makes what many see as a bold move in firing Cristobal. What does that mean for his job?

"I'm held accountable for everything in the athletic department," Garcia said. "My job is to make sure the entire athletic department is headed in the right direction. Right now, I didn't think the football program was headed in the right direction. It's my job to hire a coach that will make us competitive year in and year out and successful. Success is going to bowl games and having winning seasons. That's how our coaches are evaluated and how I'm evaluated."

He spoke with Mario as well,

Quote:I knew Mario Cristobal flew into Atlanta last night. According to what former FIU commit Brett Sheehan, a Suwanee (Ga.) Collins Hill quarterback, Cristobal was in the Sheehan home last night.

Clearly, he didn't know he was about 12 hours from "former FIU head football coach" Mario Cristobal.

"Very puzzling," he said Wednesday afternoon by phone, his low, halfting tone of voice screaming of his surprise.

Garcia obviously doesn't have "people skill". This is the same guy that threw IT out of the gym in front of recruits and players and that was based on the IT's record and IT thought he was safe as well.

I think it will be a few days before we really know the full story, I suspect there is a coach that Garcia has an eye on, like Pitino replacing IT.

I heard it was because they wanted him to make some changes on his staff and he didnt want to.

Good article with quotes from Cristobal about the firing.

What kind of crap are you trying to sell here? How does a 'fan' from Monroe LA have any inkling about the relationship between a football coach and "the adminstration" from a thousand miles away? Can you put a little bit of fact in the sh*t sandwich you're trying to feed everyone?

There are some real yahoo's on this board of late. And by the way, why the hell does an ECU fan give a damn about an FIU coaching move? Envy???

I followed this program from it's start. I followed the hiring of Cristobal and talked with him ALOT at media days, etc. So distance really doesn't matter, but best wishes rebuilding
