Manny talked about getting rid of the disease during his opening presser. Watching #98 dance down 13-0 to FIU was pure demonstration that Manny was just as much part of the disease. He knows there is a problem but doesn't know how to fix it. He mentioned on Joe Rose this morning that the 2020 class has some guys that want to fix the problem. While there is some merit to his statement, he oversaw the recruiting on the defensive side of the ball for the last 4 years signing off on their mindset. Instead of banking on 18 year old freshman to save our program the real issue is on his inability to set a standard of expectations instead of just talking about them in front of a microphone. At what point do we stop blaming the past mindset that you were apart of and take action to fix it instead of just bringing in new recruits?

Something that dawned on me and might be overthinking it is the way he is wired. It's no secret he is Mr. Analytics and those types of people often lack people and social skills even though they are typically extremely intelligent humans. With that being said, my concern is his managerial skills and ability to get through to people as people like Manny often struggle relating to others because they process and communicate information differently than the norm. This goes for the players and the staff as firing the offensive staff on day one were great but it didn't require much where now his guys are failing miserably the longer he's in charge. Maybe it's a wild thought but am going off of people I have worked with in the professional field that are very analytical as they usually good at data and awful at managing people.

“extremely intelligent” yet the guy went to FSU.

hes a fall upwards privileged kid who is neither intelligent nor personable. a real winning combo for a college head coach....

didn't hear you complaining about this when we was the DC and producing. point is the HC job requires more of what exposes his weaknesses while being a DC can hide them

Diaz was a great DC ? Please tell all the boys and girls what Clemson and Wisconsin did to his "elite defense" . Diaz was run out of Texas for good reason. BYU (A PASSING TEAM) rushed for 550 yards -- a Texas record for rushing yards allowed
Mack Brown fired him the next day.

yes he was a great DC if you look at his overall body of work. he completely revamped a Dorito D into a top 20 D in his 3 years with a major spike in TO's. you are a fool if you can't see that he's a great DC with a couple of bad games sprinkled in there (one against a national champion and Wisky just being a bad game). as far as his time at Texas, he was a scapegoat for a failing Mack Brown team.

Same blah, blah, blah, blah chit. Manny continues to act like he hasn't been here. lol. *****, you've been here. Like I said in my post, maybe Manny wasn't directly responsible, but he's got chit on his shoes just walking through the mess that's been here.

Same chit was said regarding the class of 17, 18, and 19. Manny's guy, J Holley from the class of 19 is more concerned with doing the latest dance moves at the most inappropriate time. When Wanny realize that he's every bit apart of the problem, then we can move forward.

yes he is part of the problem. you can't go on the microphone on day one and talk about getting rid of the disease then have a freshman dancing down 13-0 to FIU. means the disease wasn't addressed making him just as much part of it now that he is the head coach

You're using the term Great very loosely. He has been an avg d coordinator playing against below avg teams.
