Its funny how Manny can preach to us what Miami football is and looks like, yet his coaching resembles nothing about it.Get him outta here
Name some Great, Elite Coaches who didn't play the sport in one way or the other....I'll wait........Sure, they were great coaches and they played football. However, having played football, should not be a requirement to be a coach. To be a good coach, one must know the subject matter and KNOW HOW TO TEACH said subject matter.
I was actually genuinely curious about this so I looked up what I could...closest "article" (I cant consciously imply that bleacher report is a legitimate form of journalism.) Was from 2014Name some Great, Elite Coaches who didn't play the sport in one way or the other....I'll wait........
We're not even having this discussion if the kicker makes a 33 yarder. If we pop in the TD, and UVA comes back and scores, the same "play the result" crowd has a tantrum.You simply can't be serious...
The results are all that matters. And Diaz's have been consistently poor.We're not even having this discussion if the kicker makes a 33 yarder. If we pop in the TD, and UVA comes back and scores, the same "play the result" crowd has a tantrum.
Exactly. If is way over used usually as excuses. What happened is what counts.The results are all that matters. And Diaz's have been consistently poor.
Would you want your cardiologist operating on your heart, if he merely watched videos and read books on hearts, but never practiced on a cadaver or another human?Sure, they were great coaches and they played football. However, having played football, should not be a requirement to be a coach. To be a good coach, one must know the subject matter and KNOW HOW TO TEACH said subject matter.
We have found our last mega slurper. Hello Mrs. Diaz.He put the team in a great position to win, as he should have, since it was just UVA.
His game days decisions are not the problem.
I'm happy to have him gone. Would take Herman tomorrow. But his end of game management did not cost us the game. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.We have found our last mega slurper. Hello Mrs. Diaz.
The having played part offers a different perspective on many aspects that are important to the game & being a leader of those men."He never played the game" is a statement that is not fair. I never played the game, I know I could coach football. Men don't have a birth canal to have children; however, they do assist the mother in delivering a child. According to your thinking, only women should be OB/GYN's. I was a 30-year high school teacher, never had children; but, I was a darn good teacher. Don't know about the "meddles" part and day to day operations of football program as a head coach. Coach Diaz did make an error in not gong for touchdown. Also, the players do appear to be undisciplined and lacking basic skills they should have learned in high school; heck, should have learned in Pop Warner.
While i agree with you, you forgot the part where the ball hits the TE right in the numbers then he drops it.Imagine on that third down instead of running TVD backwards,
You do a quick play action out of shotgun, your TE slips by the LB as they were undoubtedly expecting and selling out to stop the run.
Such an easy TD to be had.
At least in college.I see this argument a lot. How big of an impact does it have?
And what constitutes “playing the game”?
High School?
College? Any level of college ball?
Pros?
No doubt playing at some level is really important (unless you’re Mike Leach), but i don’t think it is as important as some people make out.
Yes is helps you understand the nuance of 1 position, and probably 2 positions. I think the value in having played is more about understanding the headset of 18-22 year olds and balancing school, life, football and having parameters set by a coach, and upholding them.
The X’s and O’s are not that important if you ask me.
I am sorry, but who are you watching on Saturdays? ‘Bama???He put the team in a great position to win, as he should have, since it was just UVA.

You guys really love the exceptions to the rule rather than what is the overwhelming majority.Sure, they were great coaches and they played football. However, having played football, should not be a requirement to be a coach. To be a good coach, one must know the subject matter and KNOW HOW TO TEACH said subject matter.
Where have you been since Manny became coach?We're not even having this discussion if the kicker makes a 33 yarder. If we pop in the TD, and UVA comes back and scores, the same "play the result" crowd has a tantrum.
