I think the 1.1% sees them too. They just mistakenly think this lot can address them.

Barely. You guys are obsessed with, "slurpers," checking under every corner for them when they barely exist. I think it's more about the fragile mindset of our fans, and the fear of what tiny evidence of success might mean (even though none of it matters, because we still have an L or 2 in us this season).

We lose all three of those games if we weren't at least a little better. We are not playing lights out, but we are winning.

That’s the thing though.

The way the team came out was fireable on its own.

We were completely unprepared for the season after 9 months. Lashlee didn’t put in anything to make King’s transition from injury easier. We destroyed his poise with constant jailbreak pressure. Got him killed with some of the worst line play in p5 . C and RT were a complete disaster.

Cam was constantly corralled being redirected in the backfield by multiple defefenders. He had offensive linemen blown up in his face more than I can ever recall any running back in all my years of football.

Defense couldn’t tackle a lick. The scheme has been mostly figured out.

Neither oc or dc has the chops to really adjust to the personnel. We got lucky some upperclassmen got hurt and forced them to play some hungry young guys. TVD is a stud and fits Lashlee’s system better.

It is hard for me to give Diaz credit for getting the team to decent after a terrible start. Especially when we still are not as good as we should be.

I don’t judge the team by wins and losses. I judge us by our consistency in fundamentals. We are a mediocre football team constantly battling to the wire against less talented teams.

Sure, in modern football, everyone has 2 or 3 tough games against inferior opponents, but we are riding the razors edge EVERY WEEK. I like Manny. I wanted him to succeed. He has too many deficiencies. We need to move on.

This isn’t your normal coaching tenure. Thi s defense is what he developed with SIX YEARS OF FULL CONTROL. Whether the problem was recruiting or developing, he is responsible for all of it.

People can root for wins and the kids and want Manny out. As long as they hire a legit AD, it’ll work out.

I don't root for loses, just don't see how people can celebrate these mediocre wins like it's all good.
 
Diaz is the master of significantly lowering benchmarks and then proclaiming and celebrating success when barely surpassing them. This team was supposed to win the ACC Coastal and was considered a serious contender for the ACC title with an outside shot at the playoffs. Now our coaches are cherishing their gatorade baths for getting to 4-4 and we don't control our own destiny. " The young players are learning how to win"... Manny knows how to move the goalposts very well

Did you take any statistics classes back in shop class or did you just make shelves? It's just math.

They had the hardest schedule in the country. After this week playing GT, It dropped to 6th and is tied with Penn State.

“You don't fire a coach ending the season in year three on a six game winning streak, with the number of injuries they've had and the hardest schedule in the country.”

Your hardest schedule narrative got destroyed in a matter of hours after GT and MSU losing to unranked Purdue. More losses are coming their away. Last week, you were touting about how not many teams in the country can beat MSU, LMFAO.

Can't recall a season where wins have felt the same as losses—numb to all of it.

Didn't break a sweat when that ball doinked of the goalpost against Virginia ... didn't flinch when Van Dyke's pass was tipped and picked at North Carolina — expected disaster in both cases, truthfully.

Also didn't find any joy in eked out wins over North Carolina State, Pittsburgh or surviving Georgia Tech — especially knowing all three meaningless wins will ultimately buy Manny another year and we're looking at another 8-4 in 2022, no less.

Used to have this mindset that "good teams find ways to win" — one of those hiccup or road block games every year. Not the case. This is a bad football team and a brutally bad defense (outside of a guy here or there making a play) — a heroic effort needed from TVD for Miami to steal it's way to 5-4 instead of 2-7 or 3-6 right now (and Diaz gone).

This season has been a complete abortion and these last three empty-calorie wins absolutely meaningless in the grand scheme of anything — as well as a setback for any banking on Diaz being gone this season and a real head coach hired for next year.
