Since Butch Davis, we have been screaming for a killer as our head coach. Coker, Shannon, Golden and Richt we are nice guys that the media loved nor were polarizing. Well in Manny's first two weeks he fired the entire offensive staff whom he had worked with for 3 years on new years eve, told a star player who quit on the team to go bleep himself and is cutting the fat from the Golden days still while entertaining high profile transfers. He's throwing an unacceptable "7-6" in our players faces reminding them daily of what isn't okay. So far, this trait alone is everything this program has missed the last 18 years. Let there be some fear that goes around that locker room and letting players actual value their roster spot instead of feeling that entitlement that leads to losing being acceptable. For all of those crying that "the talent" of Jeff Thomas denied back on the roster are part of the problem that just don't get the value of culture. That situation was the perfect example to set the tone for the returners and recruits that if you want to wear that uniform you better do it their way on not have a personal agenda. Thomas Brown eluded to this during the season yet a weak manager in Richt let Thomas the employee do things on his terms where Manny the manager took the initiative to control things as he should doing it on his terms not the employees on Thomas'. You wanted an assassin for 18 years and now you have one.

All these loser HCs we’ve had seemed at first to be the guy we needed. Until they had to coach.

What gives me hope is not what manny says, or anything he did once he became HC, but what he did as a DC.

How manny handled his D.... adjusting in games and tinkering with it every offseason, making it better every year, makes me think he might be the guy to get us where we need to be.

We haven’t had a HC capable of doing that since maybe Dennis?

That's all nice and probably necessary, but it's no guarantee of success. In fact it's similar to Randy Shannon's "clean house" attitude and that obviously didn't yield results. There's no silver bullet, and no way to project how it's gonna work out this early on. But so far I like Manny's energy and demeanor and am fairly happy with this assistants hires. No idea if that will mean winning more football games.

Yet nothing the OP said was wrong. You are correct it is 2 weeks but that is all we can go on so far. So far Diaz has been insanely good . Hired great coaches , got great players to transfer here and has started to build a new culture while trimming the soft crap.

Randy sucked as a coach, Manny didn’t coaching his side.

What killed me most about Richt is it seemed like the 1st team D never played the 1st team O. It was like he was trying to boost his and his offenses egos by going against the 2nd team what a *****

Same thing happened with Golden also. The talk about how this is Miami and the expectations should be championships and nothing else. The country club of Coker and Shannon were over, there was gonna be accountability now. Golden has a track record of identifying players because Wilkerson went 1st round and he went 8-4 when his starting QB was injured, and it was Temple for fvcks sake, he turned them around. All in all, Golden ‘just gets it’

There were a few dissenters just like now but most were chugging the kool aid. Bottom line is we will know rather quickly with Manny. He has more than enough talent and has been around on the defensive side of things. We won’t need to 3 years to figure out if this will work or not.
