Truth is none of us really knows how well Diaz weill do.
I also was skeptical about the hire. I felt we needed a proven winner. Manny wasn't a proven winner. Along with needing to bolster his recruiting ability, I also felt he needed lots more OJT which he seemed on the way to getting a Temple.
BUT as is almost always the case, especially if you're a Miami fan, you're willing to give someone a fair shot, despite your misgivings.
Fact is, despite the numerous HOF coaches we've had, with the lone exception of Saint Howard I've had serious doubts and misgivings about ALL of their abilities to be successful here. YES each and every one of them. Initially, I was more often wrong than not and proven to be completely wrong...but recently, most of my doubts were later validated.
Regardless, NO ONE would want to have their skills prejudged. There are NO Cookies given out here to someone who may correctly predicts failure. We're supposedly talking about the team that we love. So it's just like your daughter or son is about to get married. You may have had reservations. But once that ring goes on that finger you all pull together as family initially. You don't fock up their wedding and honeymoon
BUT just like family in any family ...later IF that **** starts and keeps on Focking up!!! The gloves come off, timing and location become irrelevant, and all body parts are fair game.
Until that time arrives, he has my full support.
