How does Manny survive?

Andrew said:
Manny is an NCAA D1 football coach at a major program. It is completely unheard of for coaches to be fired after year one.

Also, CEO's do not get fired as quick as you indicated. They are often given plenty of time to implement their plans and turn around organizations.

There is nothing about this season that suggests Manny has the wherewithal to turn this program around. Nothing. He should have been fired after FIU. The real problem though is the seagull leadership of Blake James and the administrators that enable him.

If someone ranked their company like Manny tanked this team they would absolutely be fired. This season is the equivalent of a stock price dropping 50%. That is not an exaggeration or emotional. WE LOST TO FIU AND GOT SHUTOUT BY LA TECH.

Manny is Carly Fiorina reincarnated. If you remember she was a “change agent,” and blamed all the criticism she got on the change bull crap, sound familiar? Kind of like “culture and rebuild.” Coworkers said she never doubted her own “rightness.” She didn’t listen to anyone around her either. His job is on a much smaller scale so the impact is much higher and quicker.

one more loss then the season before is not a 50% drop in stock price
 
I think it was rumored that Manny made ~$3.5m this season. His buyout at Temple was $4m, so his buyout here is at least that much. Even if it was only $4m again, that would still mean that Miami would have spent $11.5m for just one season of Manny Diaz's work. Blake can't fire him because that level of monetary waste would just get him fired too. Blake knows his best hope of survival is that Manny turns it around.

Our record is the least of our worries. The perception of #TNM is the problem. The end of our season killed any legitimacy Manny could have had. You can’t lose to FIU and get shutout in a no name bowl game against a CUSA team.

Our stock went from on the rise. “Manny just needed time. Things are coming together.” To possibly the worst three game stretch in the history of the program. We were a Ponzi scheme that got busted.

Exactly Cane...as it should. Anywhere else in America and they would both be toast.

You guys need to stop saying this.

Yes, the schedule would be easy for a good team. But nothing is easy for this team. Well, except losing. That comes pretty easily.

So basically Manny doesn’t even get credit for firing Enos, he told Manny he was leaving at the end of the season and Manny leaks it right before the game.

CMD is the consummate politician, but even the players see thru his phony BS..... he has created an awful culture
J.Williams quote says it all " we were just going thru the motions"
Epstien/James ?CMD all gotta go
 
Miss me with the bull**** about this is his first year, he’s been here for 4 years he’s created this shltty culture

How much money is it costing having 25000 show up to games and merchandise and enrollment to drop massively. Miami football put this school on the map not it’s hospitals and research dept’s. as much as the BOT’s would have you believe.

Having this program become a laughing stock hurts this university throughout not just athletically.
 
Maybe I'm a big softie but I am willing to forgive a 1st time HC for a bad 1st season if he does a major course correction. He had a vision, it didn't work. The question is does he realize he was wrong (pro style vs spread) or compound his mistake by hiring who he thinks is a better pro style OC? Can he bring it better recruiters? Diaz didn't blow a championship season so my disappointment is scaled down.

This his


This is Diaz's one and only chance to save his dream of being a HC. I'm willing to let him try again if there is a brand new staff next year. The measure of a coach is whether he can adapt. Orgeron did. So did Saban and Dabo. Richt doubled down and said problem was execution. Which example will Diaz follow?

Brand new staph???.. no one significant is going to come here for a one year speal...

The only reason Manny survives is because his pappy is a Miami politician...

losing to middling Acc teams is nothing new. This year the losses to a rebuilding Georgia tech and awful duke were truly especially terrible.

However, the loss to FIU and the shutout loss to Louisiana Tech is a new (Manny Diaz created) low. Manny’s canes are now losing badly to middling teams that are not even in the power 5 conference. That just cannot ever happen.

As long as Manny is the head coach, the canes can lose to anybody. Manny is responsible for this disaster and is not the answer, he is a major part of the problem. He clearly does not know what he is doing and with time can kill this program. Too risky to keep him around.

I think there are coordinators looking to step up and it would be a no lose proposition. Bedenbaugh for example isnt ever going to call plays at Oklahoma. He wants to call plays. He will have the chance. If Diaz gets fired, he loses nothing and immediately gets another job no matter his OC performance. Corey Raymond might want a chance to DC. He's not going to get that at LSU. Winston Moss was supposedly going to be the DC in Cristobal's regime. He's in the XFL, a league doomed to failure. He would be upgrading going to Miami.
