Does anyone still actually believe in Manny?

Something tells me that Manny’s hiring was a demand by Richt in exchange for forgoing his buyout.

TBH, I think the AD should have told Richt he could do whatever the **** he wanted with his staff, but he better perform in 2019. Then, after Richt went 7-5 this year with himself calling plays, his son as QB coach, Searles as Oline coach and Banda and Patke as co-DCs, Mark Richt would be fired. And with Manny probably having a bad year at Temple, we find a different head coach than Manny.

I don't think Mark Richt gave a fvck what Miami did after he woke up that morning and decided to go on vacation for the rest of his life.

I think his personality is well suited to recruiting but he needs a ton of work as a coach. And he would have looked a lot better if his QB and Kicker weren't complete ***.

He knows his QB and Kicker were a disaster. Let's see what happens year 2.
 
I’m about 80% sure Manny will fail. I probably should be about 95% sure, but I’m trying to keep a slight amount of hope.

I don’t think the roster was as good as a lot of people claim it was, but the GT, FIU and Duke games were still inexcusable. Plus this signing day hasn’t really generated a lot of hope that he’s any better of a recruiter than Richt. Manny seems to be a subpar recruiter, just like Richt was.

So you suppose Richt being the puppeteer of Miami's football program is less silly. High IQ post, new friend.

Half the reason Richt took the Miami job (rather than retiring after UGA) was to give his son a coaching career.

He probably figured that Manny might retain his son as QB coach as a thank you gift.

Richt definitely had a motivation to make Manny his successor.

it's probably already been said, but if manny is worth ANYTHING at all moving forward, enos is gone after the bowl game. for me, that is really the main sign of whether manny has any dawg in him at all, or not. he gave the impression he wouldn't keep people on staff if they were bad fits. he let the entire offensive staff go when he got hired, and if he doesn't make MAJOR changes, including firing enos, he's going to lose all the faith from this fanbase.

i fully expect the bowl showing to be nothing short of f*cking horrendous, so that will further solidify the need to fire enos. i know others share this sentiment, but if those major changes aren't made, not renewing the tickets.
 
Didn't believe in him as DC but hope the **** is has something more than we have seen. We can't keep reloading with blanks in the coaching gun.

I want to believe.

Same as Al Golden and Randy Shannon before them. I really don't want to believe that we have someone who will leave the program in a worse shape than he found it. So am I hopeful. But also realistic.

That said, I am not relishing the idea that Manny is destined for failure as some seem to, because yet another failed coach means serious ramifications for the program.

I fear that the Mark pick was our last chance.

I think he knows what's wrong. He's stated it even before season began. It's not like he's not trying to fix it. He is just new at this and going through some lumps. In hindsight should never have been hired. Not his fault he is essentially under a fundraiser and marketer who is just pretending to be AD. Not sure Manny can fix the mess but never should have been put in that position. I will still root for the team and its success regardless.

Saltdaddy i'm with you man. Manny should have never been hired in the first place, I wonder if some here think he shoulda turned it down lol. Prolly the same folls that thought BD shoulda turned down Cleveland. I think Manny is gonna have trouble hiring a proven oc/DC, he dont have the yank in cfb to do that, not yet anyway. He's gonna have to recruit an up and comer and hope he gets lucky. I don't think i've ever seen Manny outcoach anybody going back to Texas, there's gonna have to be alot o luck involved for sure. It's happened here more than once

Manny didn’t inherit a culture problem, he created one. He also hand picked this atrocious staff people want to let him change. He’s horrific and anyone who still has hope is deluded.

This x10000.

Diaz had a chance to fix the problems and proceeded to make things worse but the minority justice warriors and hecht slurpers want him to have a do-over?

Except hes proven to be a lousy recruiter bc the kids see him as a corny fraud.

“He knows his QB and kicker sucked” yes and so does everyone in the country. That doesnt qualify him to be HC. He was here for four years so its not like these problems were just sprung on him.

If he recruited nothing but linemen the next 2 years i'd be happy, our linemen have been ****** *****'s for 15 Damm years. You can have all those hi flyin gold teeth hotdogs that run 4.3, if there aint no hole their useless. Star struck coaches

Eh, 2nd best recruiting class in a conference where we were maybe the 6th best team ...

Its the University of Miami. In fact the 15th ranked class after the year 1 bump is the worst class any of our previous bad coaches was able to get.

It's not what you think of as the University of Miami. It's a middle tier program, with unlimited potential because of its location and history, that has never won it's conference and had one good year in 15. All things considered, criticizing his recruiting seems misplaced.

I'm keeping an open mind after this disaster. I've never seen a worse OL or kicking game at a O5 school, and the QBs are immature *******. If we are having this conversation 12 months from now, bounce his ***. Right now I'm trying to be optimistic and patient - which is hard. First year coaches often struggle.
 
I support Manny , it was a world wind crazy time him leaving and returning everyone was ecstatically happy even the board went nuts with support, yes it did don’t go Adam Schiff on us here now when Enos got picked we were all giggling happy with Saban’s snappy reply when Enos left for the U .

Now we’re second guessing the whole staff , I don’t think we interviewed many OC and DC correctly being in a rush to fill coaching positions as other teams were also searching.

So with all this happening plus recruiting in reality HOW could we not have coach growing pains like the players have ?

It’s everyone’s FIRST year gee wiz yes I support him.

Recruiting has been great, we need to get his team under him.

Question:

WHY ISN’T DOLPHINS COACH BEING PUSHED TO BE FIRED AFTER A CRAPPY FIRST YEAR?

You sir are why the U died.

Its not Diaz first year. Its his 4th, and half the team is already his guys.

Half the fanbase was furious we hired a nobody FSU loser. Only the morons who think Miami needs a tony montana wanabe HC were excited.

Enos was met with major boos, as he ran a boring *** garbage scheme previously.

Manny Diaz has no business being a HC here. Not even close. Its an embarrassment that he was given this job, and its bc of totally useless morons such as yourself that he was so supported.
 
Zero belief in Manny. Zero belief in this staff, AD/department and board. This position required experience at all positions but our HC and OC were given the head nod and direct deposit for on the job training. It's been a complete failure and will continue to be a failure, until significant changes are made. I don't see any tangible evidence that real changes will be made. I'll own it if he fixes it, just as I own buying the sales pitch, after believing I made a knee jerk reaction when I thought it was a travesty from day one (should have trusted instinct and history).
