Diaz panic

[The Franchise]

LOL at the panic and the characterization of him jumping at the first thing offered.

Diaz just got an incredible opportunity, and he got it by coming here. No one was looking for him to be their HC before he got here. He was seen as a journeyman DC with spotty success.

Comes here and does what every dc not named Doritos has done here (4-3 downhill defense), and now he’s a HC 3 years later. That’s a **** good selling point to ANY hungry DC. Miami makes DCs not the other way around.

On top of all that, we with all of his glaringly obvious faults, pretty sure Sleepy’s last 3 DC hires were Grantham, Pruitt, and Diaz.

Take a look at a guy like Tracy Claeys or some guy like him who has had excellent results at lower tier programs. We’re not going to poach Venables or Aranda, but we don’t have to. Any good DC can kill it at UM. Even some mediocre ones have done well here and never matched the success they had here anywhere else.

Would love Tracy Claeys. Excellent coach.

My first call would be to Bob Shoop at Miss St.

The panic is real.

 

[Dwinstitles]

I dont get the obsession with Manny i really dont get it

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Absolutely. I would love to see Winston Moss finally come home.

 

[Dude]

Hire Alex Grinch, he coaches Safeties also, let him and Rumph tackle the 2ndary. Force Banda to go, (I'm sure he would) and hire Kendal Briles. Oh thats right, Mark Richt is in charge... nevermind.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Nah man too late. All the fems in here think we should shut the program down. They’re all scared and in tears

 

[caneaddict]

thank you, people have lost they phucking minds,

I liked Diaz but I agree with Franchise. Anybody who doesn't muck it up with an overcomplicated two gap, BS system that doesn't take advantage of athleticism can run a successful defense at Miami. I mean Randy Shannon has been pretty much terrible everywhere he's been but he still ran a great defense here. I'm not nearly as concerned about losing Manny as I am about the offensive staff.

 

[supersaiyanshel]

I dont get it man. Diaz can be replaced and absolutely can be topped recruiting wise.

 

[AustinCane6688]

I agree. Bash Richt all you want but he's batting .1000 on his last few DC hires.

 

[caneaddict]

mind you this was the board that was absolutely destroying Diaz off the wisky loss

 

[skeeper]

Absolutely. I would love to see Winston Moss finally come home.

I'd be down with that.

Thanks, Chise. Your post brought me off the ledge.

Great post . How many people were probably complaining about the hire of Diaz? I had a lot of reservations about him based on Texas. He happened to be a very strong fit with the players here and proved he's a very good DC but only in the right circumstances (which we had).

Like you said, a young up and coming guy at a lower tier program, who's had success and wants to move up (and runs typically an aggressive scheme) could easily be great here.

I agree! Richt gave a coach with a spotty resume a chance and he did very well with elite talent! So, who is up next?

I blamed the DB’s for getting torched and not turning their heads around.

My biggest concern is that this takes the focus off of our real need, an OC
