Unlike the NFL and pro sports in the NCAA the rich get richer and it takes an exception coaching staff to get to the highest recruiting level. I like what Bum Phillips said about Don Shula...he coaches his and beat yours or he can coach yours and beat his...of course I left our Bum's slang but you get the point. The difference so far with Diaz is I like that he has fixed some areas of weakness but who expected Baxa to tank it this year and Enos came from freakin Alabama and all thought what a great get including those here.
Who knew how narrow minded he could be and how he has to have his type players which he showed by making all three QB's get under center for the first time in their football careers. I expect Diaz will address the issues of failure. No need to point them out as they've been hashed and rehashed here repeatedly.
One point not discussed is how much latitude does Diaz have regarding paying assistant coaches, does Enos have a buyout? Can Enos if we are stuck with him be more adaptable? Establishing a staff is the most important and difficult for head coaches. JJ had to put up with the bums on Howards staff before he got to replace them with his staff. Olivadotti gifted Flutie the Heisman by riding in the elevator at the OB while the game was still being played.
 
If you listen to The Wide Right podcast, you'll get a better understanding of what Diaz is talking about. Manny's not complaining about the talent level of the players but their Attitudes towards losing. According to Navarro the locker room after the loss to Duke was jovial and the only player that was upset was Silvera.
Diaz wants players that are going to leave it all on the field and won't accept losing. What we don't have is the depth to bench, some of the starters and play the backups.

Randy, Golden Manny all mediocre. All complaining about the ingredients. Each had a chance to hand pick their ingredients and the outcome still sucked. becuase it had nothing to do with the ingredients and everything to do with their inability to use them to create advantages.

Randy said “I need players from winning HS programs to recreate a winning culture”

Golden said “those kids randy brought in where lazy cancers and not physically developed enough for the college game and he needed hard workers.

Skipping Richt I don’t really recall him saying anything besides our depth and numbers not being right.

Now Manny is saying (with 50% of these guys being guys he signed off on) “kids have a disease the prevents them from playing hard and caring about the u and being able to execute their assignments.”

Do we have a perfect roster? No, but the truth is outside of the top 5 teams no one has a stacked perfect roster. Look at these teams in the top 25 Utah, Penn state, Memphis, Oregon, Wisky, Iowa, Boise, App State, UVA...

Ppl really think that those teams are there because they have a talent advantage at every position on the field?

Yeah I didn’t think so. Those teams are there because they have someone who knows how take the imperfect ingredients available to them and make them into something.

When I ***** up a dish, I just add more salt. Everyone likes salt, and it’s cheap. Just look at FIU...

A great chef can make a great meal out of the ingredients he has whether they are good or inferior.a bad chef can't boil water.
The administration,ad,bots and whoever else sets tone for the athletic dept.has turned into a 4 year party pad to where the students have power over the coaches.it's just not coaches doing their job it's also those liberals not allowing a hc to run the team the way it needs to be.

The facts are that we have better talent than GT, CMU, FIU, UNC, and Duke, and probably have better talent than VT. We don't have enough talent to even wipe Clemson's or O$U's ****s with, but we do not have 6-6 talent with the schedule we played. FIU was blown out by the likes of Tulane, Middle TN, and FAU, barely scraped by a 1-11 Old Dominion, and lost in OT to Marshall. No one can tell me that we don't have more talent than any of those teams. Wisky blew out CMU 61-0. We almost lost to CMU, which also lost to WMU and Buffalo. We don't have better talent than those teams?

We may not have Michelin star ingredients, but Manny et al. were given Versailles quality ingredients and prepared us a Taco Bell chalupa with them.

This issue (on top of the obvious with all aforementioned coaches) is also this idiotic 24/7 sports news cycle, message boards and social media.

When you go 6-6 you keep your head down and grind. While fans were crying the blues about Duke online and funding banners or billboards, Diaz was out making recruiting visits all day Sunday and Monday.

If there was social media and sports talk TV at the level we deal with now, y'all would've run Jimmy Johnson off in 1984 after that 8-5 season. Still recall leaving the Orange Bowl with my dad and uncle after the Canes blew a 31-0 lead to Maryland and back there two weeks later; the Friday after Thanksgiving, for "Hail Flutie"—one year removed from Howard and that magical title run in 1983.

I'm not saying Diaz can hold JJ's hairspray or that he's the next anything—but when these guys have every word dissected multiple times of week; its a bunch of filler and a waste of time—yet everyone hangs onto it like it's gospel.

"HE SAID IT WASN'T A REBUILD AND THEN HE SAID THEY WERE REBUILDING AND NOW HE SAYS HE WAS PROUD OF THE EFFORT AND THAT THE NEW MIAMI WILL BE LIKE THE OLD MIAMI, BUT NEW, YET OLD .... TYPICAL DOUBLE-TALKING SON OF A POLITICIAN!"

It's coach speak and there's no worse time to get caught up in in than after a loss—and no dumber time than believing the gibberish when times are good.

Everyone loves ol' tough-talking Nick Saban when he's rolling heads .... and now Crimson Tide fans want to run his *** out of town after losses to LSU and Auburn; calling him a whiner for how he handled the Tigers' last second first half field goal, or how he whined after the game when losing to an arch rival, his team not playing defense and for missing the Playoffs for the first time.

This program has been garbage for 15 years. Shouting into the ether every Saturday in the first season of a first time head coach trying to rebuild a 7-9 program that he took over (after a 10-0 start in 2017)—you were a fool if you expected anything special this year.

"BUT WE SHOULD'VE BEATEN GEORGIA TECH, FIU AND DUKE, AT LEAST!"

Yup. Should've. Could've easily have lost to Coastal winner Virginia at home and not pulled out out on the road at Duke. So it goes.

6-6 at best should've at best been 9-3 based on the state of this program.

The season is over, outside of an unwatchable bowl game that Miami arguably won't be ready to play.

It's December. Go hang out with your family or friends. Enjoy the holidays. Check back in for NSD and spring ball, but to sit around here hammering the same nonsense on an hourly basis—you deserve the misery you're living in. This is literally become no different than arguing about politics with relatives; a complete and utter waste of time. "Vote" with your wallet—not supporting this program if you disagree with the direction it's going, or funding the program to try and help it become something better—but screaming about nothing in here and thinking you're changing anything is as pointless as posting articles to Facebook either right- or left-leaning and thinking you've made some difference. You haven't.

Manny should've made us some vaca frita with moros and maduros, washed down with a mojito. Instead, we got a smashed Taco **** chalupa and watered down lemonade from the high Uber Eats driver, who stole the churros on the way.

and what this tell you?!?! The players don’t respect Diaz because he’s not a leader of men; they have no belief in him. No team or group of players that respect and believe in their coach would do that after a loss. No coach with balls would allow that. It’s almost as if Diaz is intimidated by the players - afraid to get in their faces etc

Leadership and building a culture is a skill. Most people in the world aren’t leaders. Like Manny, they talk about leadership and culture, but they’re not true leaders that’s capable of getting a group of people to push themselves and sacrifice for something greater than they are.
