People talk about stars matter. Stars matter like clocks matter. Clocks tend to track the time of day, but they don't cause the time, and they can easily be off. If all you know is the clock time, it's rationale to think it is a reasonable indication of the actual time, but that doesn't make...

No offense, but you're engaged in a patently absurd argument. Diaz never coached a single game at Temple. You're trying to construct some argument about Temple Head Coaches which is suspect in credibility to begin with, then use it to paint Diaz as a credible 'G5 head coach' hire. It would be...

That's the kind of thing someone would say who was **** bent on defending something irrespective of its defensibility. They hired a HC from a G5 program? Really? They hired the DC off their own failed staff. The 'benefit' of him being a 'HC' for 3 days was it cost them $4 mm more than it...

Option A was the idiot option. If running a search meant no manny, tjen of course you run the search. Feeling beholden to the DC of a failed staff os never wise.

He's a bureaucrat / administrator. Thinks his job is to go through the motions, review a guy after the season, etc. He doesn't seem to realize that that's not his job - that's just something people in his job do in normal situations. His job is to cause outcomes, not push paper. It's...

I have no doubt you believe that, but it's an insane view, IMO. Miami could have done a search, and probably had an obligation to do one, if it takes its duties seriously. You may be right that it didn't because money, but that doesn't mean the decision was sensible. They had the option of...

I don't know if you're confused about what is required to lead a complex organization, or just trying to sneak out of a failed exchange by picking on semantics. 'Anticipate' isn't misused and its not a foreign concept for planners and leaders. Our program is littered with things that have...

QP has an obsession with picking disputes with other posters, and lacks originality as well. If misspelled user names was a sin, this place would be shut down.

No, just a fan with a username spelled similarly (not same).

butch fired his dc after going 9-3 iirc. you ask what was ‘fireable’ about last seasons d. your asking the wrong question. it’s a leader’s job to assess and improve. if it isn’t good enough, fix it. if manny thought last season’s defensive staff was good enough, then he’s clueless. and he...

He's an exciting off-season joy ride, for sure. Whether he's capable of leading this program, we'll see. Changes are positive in the sense that lack of changes doesn't help. But if the issue is the leader is wrong, then changes may just defer the inevitable. My hope is he puts together a...

I made the comment that it would be better if he'd learn to anticipate. You responded by mocking the idea that he hasn't anticipated well. Your contention was that it's impossible to anticipate coaching failures, so there's nothing to talk about regarding Manny's inability to anticipate...

B b b b b but he's not stubborn guySm.

1. This is false. He started with a staff that was amateur hour compared to serious programs. He is trying to fix it, but he didn't get it right at all and that's on him. It's scary to think he's so arrogant he thought the defensive staff he put together the past two years was a good idea...

You write that like there's nothing to choose from between Urban, on the one hand, and a first time HC in manny, on the other. It's a false dichotomy.

Maybe people should consider that part of the problem is manny? The idea that if manny can't fix it, no one can, has got to be one of the most ridiculous things ive read on this site. Folks have now elevated manny into Jimmy Howard Saban territory? Based on what?

that's the craziest thing i've ever read on this site. wow! ROFLMGDAO Really?

That’s your response? So you think manny hasn’t failed to anticipate well? I guess we’re left with he just sucks and can’t learn as the fallback position.

even though i think he’s unqualified for the hc role and doesn’t have the leadership qualities in any case so won’t succeed, i am happy about the trob hiring and want to give him credit for it.

they showered at penn state together! and were inseparable ever since.
