Brandon Merriweather seems to think

[Super Mario Cane.]

Manny and the powerful people behind him buy him one more year ….even with a new AD.




Oh …and he also says Mario ain’t coming partly because he is the HC in waiting for Alabama. TIFWIW

Mannys daddy calling in a lot of favors and making a lot of promises…

 

[BostonCanes47]

Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if they give Diaz another year if they win out including a bowl W.

 

[Thommy30w]

I know it can happen but I just dont see firing the AD and keeping Manny. It just doesnt make sense to me.

 

[L A M P]

I’d believe it with this program.

 

[FL Cane]

Don’t think it happens. It would be a rehash of 2015. We get blasted by A&M in week two and Manny is fired by game 5. You’d see the lowest ticket sales in program history.

 

[Go Canes!!]

I can’t believe people actually think a retired mayor has that kind of pull.

Another CIS urban legend now treated as fact.

 

[Carolinacane83]

Unreal

Well he is head of Florida democrat party, and significant number of board members are Florida democrats. He’s also friends with two powerful billionaires Jorge Perez, and Mike Bloomberg.

Manny Diaz is a grown man, right? Why is his daddy getting so involved?

 

[Canesmia01]

So tank the 22 class and the 23 class

 

[561Cane]

Dead man walking. I point to no other a recruiting class ranked 59th currently…next year would be worse…

The idiots at UM keep Manolo for another year which will result in mediocre play and they will get what they deserve…

 

[westcoastcanes]

If this happens we either A) Lie to the incoming AD about the amount of control they will have over the program, 2) Hire one that is not insistent on control over the program or ©) Have chosen an AD that actually thinks Manny is the right guy for another year. None of those scenarios are acceptable to me.

/edit I guess there is the outside chance that this is smoke and mirrors to keep commits from leaving prior to signing day? But I doubt that.

Brandon Merriweather may be a victim of CTE.

 

[JHallCanes]

People just trying to talk themselves out of fear of disappointment

It’s kinda weird

Manny isn’t going to be here next year

 

[miamimike305]

It makes no sense giving Manny another year. The big reason is recruiting and contract length. How are you gonna give a coach one more year with a year left on his contract. How is he gonna recruit with a wait and see approach. He ain’t gonna go to a recruit and be like come to Miami and join me for the next 4 years and help me with a title? It’s dumb. You would need to give him an extension.

The whole thing seems like some sort of PR thing floated by Manny's people. Not what Brandon is saying but what some news people have been saying.

If true we're a bigger joke then I thought

Manny Sr does whatever Jenn Strawley tells him to.
