Good point taken, thank God for second chances I was given a few and capitalized on them.
I’m giving one to CMD he served us well on D he has good intentions and many players took advantage of a kind heart.
He knows it’s game time now for him and will perform.
I get your point makes sense , with second chances there will be no regrets .
I want the best for CMD , just shocking of the hatred for him name calling.
When he wins and I hope he does the ferocity of name calling will to to support, I guess we’re like Philadelphia fans HATE yet SUPPORTING weird mixer.
Oh yea, I’ve also taken advantage of second chances. Third chances, too.
I do tho think it’s perfectly reasonable for manny to get the hate he does....
In someways it’s because of his predecessors. We’ve had a string of bad coaches here. For two decades. So when manny starts out Midway thru year 1 even worse than any of those guys did, the “here we go again” vibe kicks right in. And surely enough, there we went again.
Throw in a couple inexcusable losses, including the single most embarrassing loss in program history (to a crosstown school, no less) and you’ve got a fanbase that isn’t wrong to not want to see anymore.....if manny can’t beat fiu with the talent level he has, than who can he beat?
Now consider his handling of the offense. He promised one thing and gave us the exact opposite. And in doing so, he took a historically bad UM offense and somehow made it worse. By not forcing some change when it became obvious the status quo wasn’t working, the fan base just saw a continuation of golden and richt. No thank you.
In some ways manny also brought this on himself. Touchdown chain, touchdown rings, big talk, crashing a rivals meeting, Showing up in a yacht. He came in here and set the expectation that this team would be something that he just couldn’t deliver on. It’d be one thing If manny at the outset tempered expectations and then fell flat on his face. Instead what he did made the fall even harder.
Now consider the fact that this loud, obnoxious, angry know it all of a fan base, whose been hammering coaches for 2 decades.... has been right. Every. Single. Time. Whether we’re talking about Goldens D, Richts O, assistant coaches, etc. Those hate spewing fans have been right every time, calling outcomes years in advance. The “boot lickers”, who so self righteously lecture the rest of the fan base on their behavior, and blame results on players, or NCAA or whatever else... have been wrong. Every. Single. Time.
**** I can’t believe I just typed that much .
