Those are some serious genes!

That is a great point. We were all seemingly relieved when Manny took the reins of the D back last season. And I will say, those first few quarters out after that they looked like a completely different D to me. Of course, it didn't last. But point being, if Manny basically taking the D away...

Looking at the schedule on paper, I completely agree. The problem I'm having though is, I **** near felt the same way last season. I laid some decent cash on Miami +8.5. I just couldn't see us dropping four games on that schedule, I really couldn't. We barely won 6. But - here we go again...

No worries. And well said above, man. I agree.

Bro, you went way off track with me on this one here. I'm not trashing Mario Cristobal like you are implying. I like Mario and I think many of the traits and intangibles you listed would likely make him a great fit here. I just don't get why some people on this forum talk about him like he...

Well said, I agree 100% with that. But, again, you're lowering the bar here to an analysis of how he compares to manny diaz. I'm adsressing something totally different. The argument put forth a lot around here that mario is some proven phenomenal HC.

No, but he has lost plenty of critical games to mid pack teams from a terrible conference. ****, he lost to an awful ASU team last season with a shot at the playoffs on the line and the #6 overall pick under center. Again, I personally dont care about a Mario v Manny analysis. That implies one...

With all due respect, that is a horrible take. You realize you've set it up in your brain to be a fail-fail, right? If he doesn't make substantial achievements this season, all responsibility falls on him and he is a failure who needs to go. Ok, fair enough. But then even if he were to go...

If/when we hire another coach, I don't want the analysis to be "he's better than the last few we've had". I want to bring on a great coach. Nothing that Mario has done in his career thus far has shown me he is a great coach. Maybe one day he will show me that, but as we stand now, I don't...

Excellent post. "Nah. We ain't never thought we ran ****." I was worried my post would come across that way. That's why I added that last paragraph. That's not what I was trying to imply though, DSD. Nothing negative whatsoever about the mentality of the 2001/2002 guys. But what I...

It was announced 2/3/01 and I'm sure decided on well before that.

I agree Alvarez would not have let our program rot like Coker did. However, I don't believe we win a title in 2001 if they brought him in. I'm not sure many of the key guys would have returned (in fact, I'm quite confident some wouldn't have) and he would have changed everything from the...

I'm obviously not DSD and wasn't there, but I've got a take on that... As crazy as it sounds, I believe you actually have to go back to the end of 2000 when Butch suddenly left and all of the rumors were saying the admin was going to bring in someone like Barry Alvarez. As we all know, those...

Well said. And it's not a coincidence that we haven't been a good team since around that time. So, is this the moment you're finally going to unmask yourself, @dsddcane? ;-)

Phenomenal pic!
