People think bringing a DC would help

False, Golden was going to run his defense no matter who was here

Just like Manny is.

There's very few coaches in this world who will take a hands off approach and hand the reigns to someone to do something different than what they've done their entire career. It's an admission of failure and instead they'll try to tweak their system or falsely believe if they get this player or that player it'll sort itself out.

Not that it would make much of a difference, but Manny should've been honest with himself. He should've realized that he's not a great developer of talent and his defensive scheme has holes. He should've hired an up and coming DC to completely revamp the unit he was in charge of when he became HC.

But, the problem is similar to Golden. Everyone thought if D'Onofrio got fired, everything would've been good. In the end, the program went as Golden steered it - right into the ground. Diaz is similar in some respects. I personally think Golden was the better coach looking back (which is telling because Golden was bad). But Manny Diaz has zero good qualities as a coach.

This. Seems like people are so in their feelings for Diaz they're forgetting how bad the Golden era as a whole actually was. Better than Diaz is the lowest bar possible. It wasn't just no D. Golden's offensive evals were terrible too. Wasn't he the joker who didn't want Amari Cooper to play WR?!

Its a little concerning because we're so ready to be done with Diaz that a lot of us will be accepting of anyone they replace him with. Just like when Diaz replaced no D. It was an easy act to follow. Then reality sets in and we realize we've been stuck with another ****** coach.

I think it was @Liberty City El who said when we recruited Herbert: "let's not."

He predicted the kid would be a non-factor at any P5 program, much less UM.

Just for accuracy, Houston DID touch D'Onofrio after he left. But then again, also for accuracy, D'Onofrio wrote a great letter to Major Applewhite that really helped him get that job...

Díaz will follow suit. He will be a DC at USF and fail miserably there.

Yeah I do remember you telling the board to slow down on the excitement for both Herbert and Slaton from AH that year. That they were overrated. I dont think Herbert ever played a meaningful snap in his 4 years here. Smh. That was a super trash eval by the staff.
