In retrospect, it’s not all that surprising. It’s a lot easier to make hashtags and craft social media bravado than it is to actually lead and make important decisions after digesting a ton of information.
I think Manny delegated O staff hiring to Enos because as a new HC he was overwhelmed. Rookie mistake.
Nice too meet you dumbass
Eh. Dunno if that's the argument, though. Messaging/marketing went beyond just some dopey hashtags and gifs. There was actually a plan in place for the messaging and it was executed well. Can go back and dig up hundreds of posts from many of us (me and you included) giving credit for that aspect of the offseason. Now, many of us still said we had to see what happened on the field, but it's really a blatant contradiction between aspects he's responsible for. There's a huge gap from the marketing plan and execution to.... what happened on the field. Obviously.
Messaging on social media clearly doesn’t correlate to success as a HC. I think we all know that now.
If this is true Manny should not be a Head Coach or any position to hire someone period. That’s just stupid.
Ha. Franchise, you're narrowing this too far. I get probably for fun and laughs. His messaging and marketing went beyond social media.
Yep. He talked a big game everywhere. And he repeatedly took subtle and not so subtle shots at Rick’s archaic offense. That’s why when he hired Penos I assumed he had an understanding with Penos that Penos wasn’t going to run the garbage he had run at all of his stops prior to being associated with Alabaga.
The entire hype plan (gamble) around the change in culture, the "standard" (lol), what was being done about it, etc., was detailed to the point of each coach saying virtually the same things. It looked almost rehearsed, and maybe it was. How they addressed the media, what they messaged on, and overall built up the season was about 1000x more detailed than, ironically, what we saw on the field, personnel decisions and apparently the process of hiring coaches.
Yep. The downfall here and the almost unbelievable lack of detail relates to Enos (and everything that came with him). No real way to know that from the outside, though I guess to be fair there were clues (position coach resumes). But, an almost unbelievable disaster to pin your first head coaching gig on a single guy and trust him blindly. That's bizarre, if true.
Oh how cute, simple Jack learned a big word today, guys!
It’s the equivalent of a business owner focusing on his logo and marketing and ignoring his numbers. It’s easy to ignore the numbers cause they’re not a lot of fun to do. My guess that’s what manny did, ignored the important details for the flash and swag
Vermin is lying... wont even consider it with what's in place.
Oh how cute, simple Jack learned a big word today, guys!
Oh, it's also to, not too.
Can't call someone a dumbass when you don't know the proper words to use while insulting.
So why is this even a topic bih
No one has to stay loyal. Players are welcome to leave and under Manny Diaz, I would encourage them to leave because they will not get the development they are supposed to get. Their draft stock will also drop due to lack of development. So like I said earlier, I don’t blame any kid for leaving as they rightfully should, but once you leave I don’t believe they should be let back on the team. Not to a program that’s broken, that’s been dead for 15 years and has lost all leadership in coaches, lost all accountability, etc. It’s just not how you run an organization that is broken that you’re trying to repair.
