You say that, but 9 wins would be enough for the powers that be to say he's showing improvement. A 6 win season would get him replaced, and in the end, he's not the problem. We need a strong AD and we need the BOT to understand that and get their pride out of the way.
Yes they do
Agree fully with the win 9 games thing JD. but what I’m saying is there is no way in **** Manny has the talent and no how to do that. The three Us are what manny is, Undisciplined, Unprepared and unmotivated. That’s who his teams are, there is no arguing that anymore. A whole offseason to prepare and the team looked exactly like they have the past two years. And I’m not even talking about his Mickey Mouse defensive scheme that any OC with pulse dissects and destroys. You either have it in this game or you don’t, and it’s clear to everyone and i guarantee even blake although he won’t admit it because his job is tied to it that it was a mistake and nothing but a matter of time now. Again, 7-5 at best this season with another bowl loss making it 7-6. Posters on here keep thinking we have some easy schedule this year and that’s not the case. Vtech, FSU big time improved, Mack/UNC owns manure, NC state possibly the second best team in Atlantic, and of course MsU who plays just like our cryptonite Wisconsin and lord knows we don’t have a chance in **** against those trench bully teams, especially with manures “no gap/edge control pretend defense” lol.
His buyout is more than Sabans...seriously...
He, Dee, let the players pick Coker. That was my statement. I did think that he left after Coker. He definitely lost his fastball. The crazy thing is that this isnt brain surgery. Diaz was headed to Temple. We didnt need an unproven Temple coach. We also dont need 10 million. The AD job has been the true cluster F. We need a talent evaluating AD. I dont know what James is good at. But picking your best coordinator is like picking a relative. Not the best person for the job.
There's a lot to unpack here along with a bunch of misunderstanding. Barry often speaks in hyperbole, I see no difference here. First of all, as mentioned before nobody spends $10 million a year on a HC outside of four or five schools. Secondly I believe the reason Manny makes only 3.5 is because he is a first time head coach. As noted we paid more for Richt and I believe lashlee gets paid pretty handsomely as well. As @Cribby mentioned Frenk and the BOT don't need to "like sports" just get out of the way. Frenk is said to be on his way out anyway. See people say that our 80s dynasty and our early 2000s dynasty were "by accident" well that very well is true but doesn't the University owe it to the tradition that winning created to keep it going? @Cribby I'm very curious I've heard directly that a booster with Columbus ties to Mario reached out and offered to pay his buyout and salary. However, Blake swooped in and ruined everything. If true, regardless if anyone here is a Mario fan or not that's kind of encouraging that directly contradicts us "not trying to win." Also heard this ****ed off a lot of people & package deal rumor is true.
We’ve had a series of bad decisions leading this program. No doubt. Even with the right coach tho we’re not going to compete with Alabama.
check dm
And on top of tHat going with the option where you had to pay another 4 million just to hire the bum that’s still in the building! Blake James is public enemy number one here and there is no denying that. It needs to be every um fans mission to make things so toxic fir him that he’s ran out of town tarred and feathered.
( with the help of richt ) manny has significantly elevated our program from where it was prior, from cruiting to on field. getting blown out sucks but the gap between a 5 star ATH and a 4 star ATH is pretty large.people attack lashlee too. he had some great designs, king doesn't know how to play position and he didnt recruit of older OLi feel like im the most pro Manny person on this board lmao
The BOT should look at a Head coach salary as an investment, not an expense
Didn't Jimbo leave FSU due to their lack of commitment to improving facilities and football budget? He would face the same problems here.
Would he with the right AD? The entire premise of someone of Jimbo's caliber coming here would be predicated on a new AD and a commitment to success.
I’ve been as big a hater as anyone here the last decade but I think I’ve come to realize that everybody in today’s cfb deals with the same shlt we do. Everybody except bama and the couple other elites. Everybody has bad losses. Everybody looses to bama. Everybody’s coach sucks from time to time.
See this is where I think fans get this wrong, because of the way Manny was hired, Blake is on the hottest of hot seats
Yeah it’s not a surprise to me. It’s our way.
the next 11 games will tell us more about Manny than the bama game
