    UM fan Rule Number 1: If you didn’t play here or previously coach here, then you are automatically disqualified from coaching here now.

    He’s clearly a bright guy. 2018 was, by far, his best season as a coordinator. Smart people know when they’re at their hottest. I think the guy’s around 45. He’s no longer the young guy. Last thing he wanted was to miss his window and be Bud Foster.

    Diaz likely made bringing Banda with him a condition of taking the job here. He puts a lot on his Safeties, and he trained Banda for a couple years to know what he wanted.

    If you’re a coordinator who wants to be a HC, you never know when you’ll get that chance. Diaz isn’t 30 years old. His clock is ticking. He could have turned down Temple, regressed big time next year (which I think was going to happen with the loss of Willis, his 2 vet Safeties, and probably...

    We’d be able to pay Banda more, but I’ll be shocked if he chooses to stay with a DC he doesn’t even know yet and a DC who might not even want him. Like I said, he’s practically Diaz’s son. There is certainty in their relationship unlike what he faces here with the total unknown of a new DC.

    You guys get that offering $1.5M to keep a guy already on staff who you like is a lot different than paying whoever the replacement is $1.5M? You pay what you have to pay to get the guy you want, and I bet Sleepy’s phone has been ringing off the hook with guys looking to do what Diaz just...

    That’s Diaz’s son. I’ll be shocked if he stays because the new DC might not really want separate DB coaches, especially if he’s a DB coach himself.

    Temple offered more money and guess what else?? That’s right the HC gig that he wanted. Why is this so hard for you guys to comprehend?

    All those guys you mentioned interviewed for HC gigs but didn’t get them. Venables seems like a spazz and has said he’s happy just being a DC at Clemson. Foster was regularly interviewing and Spermy Fart interviewed too. They just didn’t get the gigs they interviewed for.

    Like I said, UM will always pony up with cash. Diaz wanted to be a HC, and this was a great opportunity. I tried telling you guys that if Temple offered he was gone. They were offering the one thing UM couldn’t—the HC gig. #Listen2TheLegend
