Paul DiMare. That’s my attempt at some levity of course. Correct on not being equal…to a degree. I’m an advocate for bombarding neutral above pro and anti. Give me a bit and I’ll PM you some details

Well this devolved pretty quickly like some other threads I’ve seen on here. I stick with my earlier estimate that 50% of you have an IQ above the daily average temperature in San Diego. For those of you who fit in this category I say this. The information provided is unequivocally correct. I...

I have no doubt he’d try but have heard nothing of it being mentioned. I would err on the side of it being so irrelevant it just hasn’t been brought up. His political party leadership in our state should be enough of a problem for him.

And just to save CMR getting burned there was no contact I knew of ahead of time where he gave Manny a heads up. There wasn’t a grand plan.

And if you read my rebuttal to him you would see I knocked the OP, or at least a large part of his post, as being false (no disrespect to OP)

Yup, and Manny had zero ties or attachments at that point to Temple other than a handshake and some ink. And if you’ve heard what I’ve said that means ZERO to Manny.

Apparently not

CMR pulled the plug on short notice. Temple was still to play a bowl game after Manny being hired. Due to this Manny was strictly in structure mode. CMR walked a day maybe two after Temple’s season ended. Manny has done ZERO in the way of any official duties. I know for a fact Manny reached out...

Feckless BJ clipped his sail to Manny a long time ago. Manny calls the shots in the relationship. The assurance and alteration from the original design and vagueness of the job promoted BJ to keeping the option open.

Zo as in why he never materialized was 100% a product of what I’ve mentioned. I’ve heard rebuttals to this and questions as it relates to ER as well. Like anything else they are both their own people and have very different backgrounds. Respectfully my opinion is AH, if the role were actually...

Agree to an extent. I mentioned previously that we’d all take the job. My issue with Manny is he had the option, and realistically the marching orders, that would have put him in a much better place to succeed. Immaturity, arrogance, and paranoia landed him where he’s at today. For any former...

Will not happen but yes I’d take in a flash. I placed a link to interesting article in one of my replies. Zero chance. Either way great read that was sent to me at the end of the MSU game.

The only surprising name that I’ve heard kicked around, and it’s in a negative light in my eyes, is Todd Monken. As for formal university contact there’s been none, just want to make that clear. And when I say kicked around I mean brought up and thankfully dismissed. All the other informal...

Timing relative to the overhaul that needs to take place in the athletic department. He may force our hand but not ideal. And respectfully, do not concern yourself with the recruiting impact. The need for the right move when available trumps that exponentially. That is quite understood with...

Beyond the initial appeal of being hawked by bigger jobs there was no real interest.

Completely agree. The **** hire and who everyone reached out to are the coaches. Ultimately the AD will have to be in place in order to obtain the best possible chance with a premier name. Not happening now under the current circumstances. Hence all the pressure and things behind the scenes...

Mid conversation during the aftermath of the MSU game.

Personally I would be ecstatic with the hire and so would others. Almost mid conversation I was sent this link on him. Seems like a fantastic guy and coach but just isn’t going to happen...

The opposite. Manny pushed BJ into a corner about the job. Told him he’s kicking his can down the road unless there’s a close to immediate offer. BJ being the feckless buffoon he is folded like a paper tiger relatively quickly. Yes it happened quick. But understand we’re not talking minutes...
