Unfortunately, sometimes you have to tear everything down and totally rebuild.

I love every word of this:

“After the first year of Manny’s tenure, donors sat down with Blake,” Lambert said. “There were some people that had some grievances and let him know that they weren’t happy with the product on the field. I said nothing at that point. I was waiting for everybody else to talk.

“I said I have a simple question for you: ’If you did not have the budgetary concerns that we always hear as excuses and you had the money available to do something big — whether it’s coaching, staff, facilities, whatever it is — I’m not telling you what it has to be, but assume you had that, what would you do? Before you answer, know that the people across this table are willing to make a commitment. If what you say excites us, we’ll come back with the money you’re asking for.’

“I said, ‘Before I leave, I’ll write you a check for half a million bucks and I’ll go out and take these people with me right now who have some crazy contacts and we’ll go hit the pavement with their contacts and go raise the money. Give me something good.’ I didn’t say, ‘you have to fire Manny Diaz or you have to do this.’

“I asked [James], ‘What would you do?’ His answer was ‘I’ll probably hire a couple more analysts and improve the locker room.’ I said, ‘Come on, seriously! It was a serious question. Give me a serious answer.’ He said ‘that’s my answer.’”

Lambert then told James “OK, just so you know, the next time we come here, we’re probably not going to be coming here with checkbooks. We’re probably going to be coming with pitchforks and torches because that’s a really [expletive] answer.”




Un...*******...believable.

But it's what I've been saying about Beta Blake for years. No vision. Wants the money, doesn't know how to spend it. Rude and insulting and condescending. Weasel.

When u “think” u’re the smartest guy in the room, this is what happens. Diaz has used every scape goat:

2019 (Richt’s Offensive Staff)
2020 (Enos)
2021 (Blake Baker)
2022 (If I had a guess: Blake James, distractions)

Only an a-hole would promote himself the DC after he fired the guy who hired to run his flawed defense, thinking he could fix it. Lol. It’s worst today than yesterday.

2022: Mean memes and gifs from the fans.

This classic, for example:

Diaz probably thought he could get paid two salaries as HC and DC 😂

Wow. Just wow. Blake James could’ve somehow managed to keep his job if only he hired Highsmith.

Maybe prolonged it a titch. The ineptitude would have still caught up to him and no way Manny would have survived. I think they realized that on some level that they would have been exposed if they hired a guy like Zo

SMH at Barry for putting all those kids names in this article. He could have written it without that . some of them are still playing.
Going scorched -earth against MAnny, Blake etc is one thing. Humiliating the kids by basically calling them JAGS in a newspaper article is pretty low in my book...

Maybe they should play better.
