Cristobal is as good of a program and culture builder as there is, incredible recruiter who has built the program in a really smart, sustainable way and gotten them to a place of complete competence in just about every area. Good coordinator hires, NIL backing has been solidified and seems to be run professionally.
I just don’t know who I have less faith in in big moments, him or Carson Beck.
Lol that’s very similar to my feeling about Miami. They pass the eye test 100%. A coach who knows football is good at football and excellent in building culture and absolutely drips Miami culture. Big physical team in the trenches with a front 4 that moves people. Athleticism in the skill positions on offense. An Oline that is nasty and loves to punish. A QB who has been around since the Welsh era. …
But I still get the yips when Cristobal is calling the shots on a close game in the 2nd half. I am slowly buying the idea that Beck was legit hurt last season and the elbow surgery has allowed him to get his arm back and functioning. Then he goes out dates a Cavinder twin, cheats on her, and has his Labo stolen from his driveway, and that’s just his summer vacation.
There may not be a higher ceiling lower floor combo than Cristobol and Beck and because of that I’m remain in “oh this game will prove to me they’re legit” mode.
They just lost their top rated HS commit too as expected. Surprised we aren’t seeing a larger group of transfers from their current teal although that can definitely still be coming.
