There is a some quite fitting that the end of his coaching career was brought about after the players dug deep and were willing themselves to victory, our QB in his first ever start had settled in and was throwing darts, and the RBs were wearing down the defense, but Diaz decided to run down the clock with over a minute left at the UVA 13 and play for a FG. Sorry coach, but that's not Miami football. I honestly would have had some begrudging respect for him if he'd gone for jugular and even if something bad happened, like a fumble or INT, he stood his ground and said "We don't play for Field Goals at the University of Miami. Sometimes being aggressive doesn't work but I'd rather have my guys go down swinging than put everything we worked for all game on the foot of our freshman kicker."
What must be done eventually must be done immediately..
They need to fire Blake along with Manny to buy themselves, and the program, time. If you just fire Manny everyone is going to assume they're going to make a mistake again and everyone will jump ship. If you fire James along with Manny you could actually stir real hope for the program. Firing just Manny keeps the cycle going.
Shotgun, one receiver, if it's not there, throw it away. Manny was/is a coward. He again let the team down and doesn't belong at the U.There is a some quite fitting that the end of his coaching career was brought about after the players dug deep and were willing themselves to victory, our QB in his first ever start had settled in and was throwing darts, and the RBs were wearing down the defense, but Diaz decided to run down the clock with over a minute left at the UVA 13 and play for a FG.
