Diaz now a candidate for TEMPLE

[caneaddict]

well deserved

That was a while ago.

Temple has consistently had their head coaches go onto bigger positions over the last few years.

I don’t feel like Manny needs a stepping stone job at this point, being our d coordinator can be his stepping stone. I feel like he would be making a mistake unless he went to a power 5 job from here. Another year like this one and power 5 offers will come his way.

Let him go to Temple and groom his HC skills and come back after Richt retires in 4-5 years.

We've had good luck with Temple head coaches in the past.

You sir took the words right out of my mouth

Along with Mike Elko of Texas A&M according to footballscoopstaff.com

Cane lock.

No worries. Richt will name himself DC.

Dude knows how to stop an offense, so I'm not worried.

No way Diaz goes to Temple lolz He is staying here

 

[Dingaan1828]

It never hurts to interview.

Fake news. Temple closed up shop as an institution after Bill Cosby was convicted.

 

[Dwinstitles]

The people that want MR fired (me being one of them) this doesnt matter to me cause when Marks fired Diaz has to go anyway. There not going to keep anyone from Mark staff coaching transitions rarely work that way

Al Golden was the best hire since Butch.

 

[CANEMC]

Diaz will pass. He definitely won't have the same dogs/talent on D up there. He knows that.

 

[nystateofmind]

He could’ve just taken the GT job instead

He wasn’t offered the GT job.

 

[nystateofmind]

I think many of you are underestimating the allure of being “the guy”.

Coupled with the fact our defense is going to take a step back next year, I wouldn’t be shocked at all if Manny bolts.

 

[Go Canes!!]

This is a logical next step for him. Can't see him moving straight to a Power 5 program.

But I've said it on here before, for his high risk, high reward defense to do what we did this year he has to have the horses. I question if he can get enough of the caliber of players he needs there to have the success he's enjoying here.

 

[MIATL]

Elko would have to be the preference. From the area ... Played college ball at Penn.

That would seem to be a weird fit for Diaz, but Collins was a weird fit at Temple, too.

Yet a majority on this board have opined that not having prior head coaching experience should immediately disqualify someone from consideration.
