Give Diaz more time before you're ready to fly the Banners.

Bro. The defense is the reason he was hired and it been a sh*tshow. Did I also mention that Diaz and Baker are friends so we could be looking at another Golden-No'D situation.

Diaz also had all the cash in the world to get a modern spread OC and chose a Wisconsin style play action crackhead.

Don't get me started on the recruiting.

Yep. Two out three losses defense wins it if they make a stop.
 
Typically, I would agree. But Manny got the job because of defensive continuity and a quick turnaround on offense based on the assumption that there was talent, but needed a modern scheme. Both of those points have appeared to have been wishful thinking. The Canes blew out both UNC and VT last year.

I say no, but reality is more like what you state. We may have no choice but to stick it out. This university is not known for acting rationally and quickly on its feet. And whenever it has acted quickly, it has done so irrationally.

You mean like hiring Manny in the first place, without a search
 
We have to find ways to win games. We were in every loss driving at the end to tie or take the lead and just cannot close the deal. Its tough on all of us, but not ready to fire anybody yet. Just going to keep expectation low this year and watch the games and see what happens.
We ahve to find a way to come out better at the start. No sure WTF we need to do there.
I am just baffled right now, but I will hang in there.

I understand a lot of the fan base is ready to fly the Banners but we should support Diaz and give him some more time. Diaz took over a 7-6 team on life support in January when recruiting season was all but done. We had no O-Line and Two QBs who haven't proved anything. The team was not in a good place when Diaz took over. Diaz has the right mindset on what it takes to make us great but he's still a rookie HC who is trying to figure out how to run a program for the first time. I get it you all want instant gratification and we should beat VT and NC because we're the Canes!!! Unfortunately the reality is where a middle of the pack Acc program and have been for 10+ years. I get it you want instant gratification and for the U to be back but we should at least give Diaz two full years before were ready to call for his job or not.

I’ll hope for 10-3 but idk how we win again this year except against gt and fiu. To come up that unprepared and flat after a bye is pathetic

Diaz inherited a bad team and made it worse
 
This season is lost and I’ll give Manny this off season to make staff changes. If he doesn’t then fly the banners.

Both of those teams are salivating and rubbing their hands together. Sorry, but no, we ain’t winning those if we wash, rinse, repeat.

Banners to fire B.James YES, banners to challenge BOT and President to step up YES
Manny's staff to quote Miami is bringing a butter knife to a gun fight......
problems go higher than HC, SR.mgmt starting with James has been awful for 15+ years

I've tried to stay positive and be patient. But putting scheme aside, watching the players come out flat week after week makes me think there is already a huge disconnect between this staff and the team.

We can keep getting new coaches, but what we really need is new players, some who are leaders and not take game crippling penalties or don't whiter in front of the goal post. After 15 years - those are going to have to be needle-in-the-haystack finds, that other teams missed - and they have to find them outside of So Fl.
