Dont see that happening on defense. Diaz is who he is.Miami’s problem this year was 3rd down on defense(offense too) we improve those areas then we are rolling
Ummm except that defense lead the nation in Sacks, top 5 for TFL and had 31 turnovers. If we produce that again, increase our 3rd down percentage on D and O and our Pass D, we'll be okay. Our Pass defense was much more of a problem than our Run D, but I expected some growing pains breaking 4 new starters.
Just Saying..
You didn’t disagree with him at all...and he’s right, part of the reason we suck on third down is because our defensive style leads to big holes in the defense if we don’t get the QB.
Agreed, however... If QB play improves and stays on the field longer, the D won't be giving up as many 3rd downs because they won't be on the field as much. So, in a sense, the O improving 3rd down percentage in a big way will help the D.Dont see that happening on defense. Diaz is who he is.
On Offense, all depends on the QB.
I'm not advocating that approach. I'm merely cautioning of its likelihood. I'd be ecstatic with any number of DL coaching candidates.The problem is you can't only hire guys you have worked with (and possibly fired) when those guys were not able to get your team over the top in the past.
One of the biggest issues in the NFL is the same recycled coaches yielding the same recycled schemes, culture and results.

What will be desultory though is if we grab some unknown who has never done anything in recruiting or coaching of significance.
I read the Miami Herald article and Miami won’t be Hiring Patrick or Partridge....
saying the same thing the last 7 years.Miami’s problem this year was 3rd down on defense(offense too) we improve those areas then we are rolling
I really hope Diaz realizes he doesn’t have to get cute on third and long. Joe Jax and Garvin off the edge with Willis and Djax on the inside. Drop 7 and play smart.
This!
Of course that only we works if we tell the men dropping that a ball may be thrown in their direction.This!
As much **** as I give Diaz, i think his defense would be just fine, flaws and all, if we were a quick strike offense. Its one thing to have a Diaz defense when your offense goes thtough 2 quarter droughts. Its another to have a Diaz defense when your offebse is scoring at will in 2 min spurts.Agreed, however...

slow methodical football just isn’t UM football. These kids do not operate well doing thatEither case would help the defense. Long drives to give rest (they played a ton of snaps last year) or a high powered offense to make the opposition press and make mental mistakes his attacking style will capitalize on.
Well here's the deal. It had better happen on defense or Diaz will be shown the door. Plain and simple. Too much talent being acquired to accept that porous 3rd down defense.Dont see that happening on defense. Diaz is who he is.
