NO **** right - Its not as simple as that, and there is major fallout when you change hands of an organization, that would hurt the program severely at this point. In a challenging year being 8-2, with all ACC play, no cupcakes is still a great year. The super negative canes fan bull**** is so old. He has earned the benefit of doubt in showing how he responds and changes things.
I will say, there does need to be growth and an adjustment to Manny & coordinators game preparation and in game coaching. Coming off a bye week, with losses as he has consistently is coaching. Lack of in game adjustments has also shown through. He cant be players best friends and needs to set a stronger tone, period.
However, he has proven to be the best in the longest time, at building a program, which is very challenging. The way recruits and analysts view the program now is far better than it has been the last 15 years. #TNM, and the caliber of recruit over the past few years has been very good, with many of our recruits being better players than their rankings in some cases. There has been team unity, and again due to a good job building a strong recruiting department. There is cohesion between recruiting, the coaching staff and the school execs. Has has brought back in old canes, and ensuring that family ties vibe is there, which is huge for long term success. He has been quick to right his wrongs, i.e firing last coordinator and bringing in lashlee. from that choice we landed King and are likely landing our top QB recruit in 20 years! He has connected wtih players like no other coach, and they are bought in with how he has handled the BLM protests, and helping them with things off field such as voting. This resonates with players and families, so he's doing a great job building the foundation of the program - They just need to toughen up and prepare better than they think they are.
