Mario Cristobal

[goodroc]

if we have staff spot open wonder if we have cash to hire as a recruiter -- probably would only come for coordinator position but yeah u never know

 

[Rocco]

not a chance - he is HC material, not a coordinator. plus Shafer and Hack aren't being moved for him.

 

[Whitey23]

Can't believe they fired him. He built the program from nothing and was 8-5 last year! Guess he wishes he took that Rutgers job.

 

[orangeinjersey]

Did they have a bad season? That guy was a hot commodity last year no?

What ? He got fired? Wow and he turned down the Buttgers job. Ouch. What is FIU doing who the heck do they think they're going to get to coach there?

By the way, we don't have any staff openings (just yet). But yeah, if we have a hole we need to hire a primetime recruiter - someone like Stan Drayton.

Wow...found with a dead girl or live boy? Has to be something interesting there.

 

[CuseLegacy]

"But then FIU went 3-9 in 2012, a confounding dropoff from two straight winning seasons. Still, everybody expected Cristobal to have earned himself much more rope than this.
He went 27-47 at FIU, and that might look bad, but, seriously, that's an achievement"

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

Note to FIU: You are FIU!

 

[goodroc]

he was found in bed with jay wright

 

[Moontan]

I wonder if he'll get a call from USF... you'd think he would've been on their list.

 

[Chip]

Jeff Tedford says hi. The bloom falls off these roses sometimes. Some cases quicker than others.

 

[kcsu]

wow huge surprise. I wonder if he ends up as an OC at a major program

 

[orangepassion]

Wow-Pretty shocking after he turned down RU and stayed

 

[Frozen]

If I were USF or Temple, I would place a call to him right now.

 

[oldpinepoint]

USF should be all over him

Nothing FIU does surprises me. Remember, this is the school that hired Isiah Thomas

Good point. Would be a good fit.

@BFeldmanCBS
Idea floated by a coaching source on Mario Cristobal firing: FIU AD Pete Garcia sees an op to hire his old pal Butch Davis

 

[JoeSU]

Timing is really strange since Cristobal reportedly signed a 5-year contract extension just this past summer, which extends through the 2017 season.

Ha!

 

[Frozen]

Only thing I can think of is that the AD wants the start of a new coach's tenure to coincide with the team's move to C-USA.

FIU story gets even more bizarre. Program has a kid scheduled to fly in on a recruiting visit today. Staff doesn't know what to say.

@CuseNationFOX
One of #Syracuse's WR targets for 2013 committed to #FIU yesterday, so what now?


anybody know who it is? I'm guessing (hoping)we passed on them?

Sounds like we kind of passed on him..His final three were Marshall, Bowling Green and FIU
