He didn’t have a great training camp

So help me out here. GR doesn't do enough in practice to start, but he does enough to come off the bench and play every position on the D line. Can someone explain to me how that is possible for a guy that doesn't practice hard? Why the **** isn't Patchan playing every position on the line?

Between his coach speak, coaching hires, personnel decisions, and mind blowing use or non use of timeouts, he's wearing really thin on me right now. Not saying he can't improve, but he **** sure better.

I'm sick of the easy, feel good hires.

When you are the coach of a 3-3 team and 2 of those losses are to teams you had no business losing to...you aren't really fooling anyone anymore. We know you are phucking some **** up somewhere. Its not like we are 6-0 here. And we know he is "learning on the job" so I think most fans would actually appreciate him being transparent and admitting he phucked that up.
 
It's obvious manny has alot to learn, but on this one, 1st off, coach diaz was the main one who found and recruited rousseau to come to UM, and if you go back to the comments from way back when, many were complaining about why did we sign him, and the "he's only a 3 star" cry babies were in full affect, also he was coming off of a foot injury so working him back slowly and gradually increasing his work load was and is the smart thing to do, and if you all noticed, their was a reason rousseau wasnt playing, late in the game against UVA. So the management of rousseau has been on point, same with nesta. Its called player development.
 
Man I just read through the rest of this thread.......

Has there ever been a coach who half the board was over already 6 games in lol.

I think it’s kinda funny. I’ve never seen people turn this fast in Golden OR Shannon or richt lol

People were dumping on Golden after the Maryland game.

I just remember year 3 the great movers vs slurpers debate. Even some of our good posters were still slurping Golden.

It feels like the board is 60/40 on Diaz not being the guy. Year 3 of golden and it was still like 50/50 here.

With that said if Diaz year two looks like year one I don’t think he makes it to season three.

Hopefully we turn it around.

Yeah, totally, I'm sure that's *exactly* how Saban runs things :rolleyes:

In reality, that's exactly what causes the whole "south florida divas" attitude for players.

Saban has the luxury of being able to play favorites based on practice habits because he has a stacked roster full of blue chip prospects. If Josh Jobe is loafing in practice or missing assignments Saban can have Surtain step in fresh out of HS prom or go to a 3rd or 4th year 4* guy who's been grinding for years to get an opportunity.

I hate to break it to you but this is a thin Miami roster with barely enough top-end talent to outclass middling ACC Coastal teams. The drop-off from a legit talent to the next best guy on this roster is massive for the most part. When you squander most of that talent with poor schemes and personnel choices you get a 3-3 vs. lousy schedule team.

1. Manny should know better, but hes making the same mistakes as his predecessors.

2. He talked alooooot of ****.

Only one guy turned on Golden after the Maryland game. During Matt Thomas NSD it was like 80-09 percent pro golden. **** this board wanted to play Teddy and Louisville in the bowl game so we could smoke them
 
Why did it take an injury to Robert Bass, a thereto-for career backup to get Ray Lewis on the field? C’mon, the coaches could tell he was HOF material
 
Or just perhaps he has done something wrong and the HC does not want to throw him under the bus...............

Well, that only took two games(Bass got injured vs Vatech) and then Ray turned him into Wally Pipp. I know this statement is tongue-in-cheek but another key difference that Ray was a true freshman(late signee, in fact), while G-Ro was a guy who's been on campus for over year and had dominated scrimmages

This. Ray was a late addition to the class and iirc not an early summer enrollee either. He was still grtting his feet wet as a true frosh and was thrown in and dominated early in the season as a true frosh. Rousseau had last summer, last fall, last spring, and this summer. Very different situations.

At then end of the day you play the best players. It’s been clear for some time we don’t do that. See Robert Knowles as an example.

the problem with Manny’s method is he will lose the team eventually. It makes more sense regarding players like Smith and Reed. I guess Hightower has had bad practices as well....

Manny is starting to get caught up in lies. At least he is consistent with that. He’ll tell you one week Baxa is his guy and then next week Tuner is kicking...
 
Rousseau was showing out against UF for crying out loud. Dude is a disruptive player that needs to be on the field more often. Then again, I don't get why we can't find ways to get Brevin Jordan involved offensively, when it's obvious that in most cases, there isn't anyone on the field that can cover him. Miami doesn't know how to get the best 11 on the field, and they sure as **** don't know how to get the best players to do what they are great at.
