Manny needs to go period
If we win next week I think we roll to 8-4. By the time we face VT they could have an interim head coach. Rest of the schedule is cake.Okay, last reply to myself... I don’t think any of this is happening. Do not underestimate Manny’s ability to lose to GT or Duke or VT or FSU.
Because we are playing better, and the rest of our schedule is not so tough. I think we are playing better because we have a better QB, and we are playing talented young players. Believe me, Manny Diaz is not a good coach, but the team is playing far better than they were.Because of Manny? Seriously. Do you think that they are getting better because of coaching, inspire of coaching or irrelevant of coaching? I believe it is either of the second two but definitely not because of him.

In todays game defenses do not dominate like in the past, check other defense stats...Pitts strength was their Defense yet they gave up over 500 yards today against a "weak" offense if you look at our stats this year. Bama gave up over 350 yards in their game with Texas A&M plus look at Clemson defense stats. Today your team has to outscore their opponent.This defense is worse than golden/dorito at this point.. I cant beleive people tried to sell Flagg as a miami lb, this guy is even worse than I thought and he is the best we got?! !!!!!!!! WHAT. THE. ****!!!!!!!!! This drives me crazy, I saw Pickett run right by himand he is flailing tryna keep up, how is this guy a starter?!
I do see it and believe that TVD is a major reason that we are where we are. Being able to see the plays (both literally since he is 6’4” and figuratively as a good QB) is a big difference in RPO and in reads in coverage.Because we are playing better, and the rest of our schedule is not so tough.

I've always said it. When you have a QB that can attack all parts of the field, you can keep a D off balance. TVD is that QB. Any other year we give up 500+ passing, we lose by 20+. A real QB? Well, you see the difference.
Im going full Missouri here with Manny. Show me because I dont think you canIf we win next week I think we roll to 8-4. By the time we face VT they could have an interim head coach. Rest of the schedule is cake.
Manny had the money for any dc he wanted. The checkbooks been openThe admin should have given Diaz a check for a top notch DC, instead we got Baker for the budget hire. Diaz can't do it all, until the admin supports him this is Miami football. They should have given him the money to hire a guy this year. We need increased money for support staff too. Diaz is still learning on the job but the admin ain't doing him any favors.
I’m not in favor of keeping Diaz but if he wins the coastal and wins a bowl game, I’d understand why you’d keep him.If we win our side. Diaz deserves another year. Just my opinion. And I am on the fire Diaz side.
We won 14 in a row just a few years ago…What makes you think after the last 20 years of Miami football think we can win 8 games in a row
He could have hired someone as Dc. The problem was it had to be a puppet to run his defense because that is the sole reason he got this hc job. He wasn’t going to hire someone to run their own defense and not be able to say that’s his defense. His ego wouldn’t allow thatThe admin should have given Diaz a check for a top notch DC, instead we got Baker for the budget hire.

You’ll get laughed at, but if the scenario happens it’s a yea.Miami is now 4-4 with 2 losses to top 6 teams + two losses by a combined 5 points to a 6-2 ACC team and a talented UNC team (WHICH I believe if we had THIS TVD for those games we win…and possibly MSU.)
But anyways, we have now accomplished two wins in a ROW over top 20 opponents and now go into a 4 game stretch against:
Vs Georgia Tech (3-5)
@ FSU (3-4 as of now)
Vs Vtech (4-4)
@ Duke (3-4 soon to be 3-5)
WITH momentum, team that seems to be tackling better, generating more pressure, providing good pass protection, Passing efficiently and sharply and most importantly a team that believes in themselves again.
It’s quite possible we can be 8-4, win the ACC and go 9-4 and then play in a good/decent bowl game and finish 10-4.
We’ve alwYs said Diaz’s best trait is his ability to adapt and attack weaknesses on the team. This year may prove him to move away from sticking with older players based on experience, change/adjust his scheme (or hire a valid Dc to run a similar scheme), change the way they teach/practice tackling and dip into the portal for LBs/DTs.
I say all this to ask…IF and ONLY if Diaz can finish with the record said above (and win the next 4 games in a more dominant fashion, along with making the adjustments said above) do we put our faith back in Diaz and ride with him for next year?
2022 team: Returning QB, returning Knighton/Chaney/FR RBs
Bring back both Mallory & Arroyo
X, K smith, Brinson, B smith, J George (could only hope Rambo would stay LOL)
D returns: A Williams, J Williams, K kitchens + B balom from injury in for safeties,
Chase Williams, K smith, S brooks comes back
L Taylor, Chantz Williams, Q Williams, E Roberts, JHH, Nesta, J Harvey comes back on DLine
Add in portal for CB, LB, DL and maybe OL and that’s a solid team AND MOST players named above are FR/RFR/SO
I know it’s early to crown anything or anyone but if things continue to trend up it’ll help with recruiting, keeping current players, attracting better portal players…so I say LETS WIN EM ALL
