Yeah, there'a reason this dude is not on my Saban successor list. I've followed this guy going back to his FIU days so I knew about him for awhile now. Cristobal is good for 10 win seasons b/c of his recruiting but as far as taking a program to the mountaintop? Who knows.

I mean he will be one for two in conference championships so at least he has one under his belt . There are several articles talking about the strength and toughness he instilled in one year to the team and he is trying to instill that culture to west coast football which has lacked physicality since Pete Carroll USC days . He needs to finish up strong and improve next year but I wouldn’t write him off as a bad coach after a 3-2 start in year two of limited to no prep time during Covid
