I know James is an idiot, but I'm not sure Manny won't get canned after this season if he doesn't turn it around

Although James will probably want to offer him a raise and an extension regardless of what Manny does, I think the climate has changed on waiting for someone to build us back. If Manny goes like 7-6 or worse, I'm not sure he survives it, right or wrong. Too much unrest and too many dollars on the line, not to mention continued damage to the fan base.

Assuming Manny survives and gets one more season, he will have to clean out his staff. That is abundantly clear. He's not coming in with Richt's resume and therefore given miles of rope. Manuel has to turn this thing around and fast. He may look back at taking the UM job as a premature move in his career climb that might damage him going forward. I'm rooting for him, but I don't know....

Manny’s whole selling schtick was that he had a championship defense and the offense was loaded with talent but had no scheme. This wasn’t supposed to be a rebuild hire, hence no search.

His mouth wrote checks his coaching couldn’t cash.

That being said, he will get two years or a loss to FCS
 
To be clear, I WANT him to succeed! I like the guy and think he is smart! Also, regardless of whether or not he should have gotten the job, he's our coach now and I want him to knock it out of the park. I'm just saying that if it became clear that he lost the confidence of the team and fans, the climate is such that he might be in danger. He needs to win now and he needs to make choices with the same cutthroat approach that he used during the offseason.
 
Dude could go sub .500 and our sh*tty BOT of admin will let it ride under the ruse that "these things take time". As long as that ACC money keeps flowing in they are good with the status quo.

Again, if we give the next three guys one year, forget ever getting anyone we would ever want.

He's got 3 years minimum. The buyout from Temple will keep him safe and I think Blake knows that his job hinges on Manny working out.

Is that conjecture or did you read that somewhere? Asking with hopes that at least the Blake firing part is true.
 
My guess is that unless he loses 9 games, he'll probably be given a 2nd year, but who knows nowadays...?

Also, if Blake gave him some big buyout clause, he truly is a verifiable idiot. Manny should have been given a very short leashed contract with performance incentives. Anyone know what the buyout might be?

I call BS. How do you know what his selling point was? Sounds like you have chosen the CIS narrative that manny came in "talking ****" so he's worthless now.

Interwebz is a dangerous place for someones opinion looking like a fact

Manny ain’t getting fired. His father was the mayor of Miami for Christ sake. Too connected

Doesn’t matter how many games he lose or how many years he do it he ain’t going nowhere

Meanwhile FSU will stay out recruiting us even with corny willie corching it up over there. They will fire him and go hard after Urban Meyer while we stuck with the Cuban Radio.

I'm not giving Manny excuses because there has been a lot I am not pleased with but this is a false narrative. Williams started his first career game vs UF with a true frosh OT and a RS Fresh OT who has already lost his job to another Freshman.
We are young AF on offense. Yes, we have great skill players and always will but you cant tell me we were just needing a new scheme to be a top 10 team.
Williams has been excellent considering the Oline is below average and the scheme is limiting.

manny is not getting fired or going 7-6 this year. and he shouldn't. you don't fire a coach after one year unless they cheat or shoot the university president. that just is not a good look.

if he's 7-6 back to back? then you have some issues to address.

Why not? Manny doesn't need to be kept around just to make a statement. He will never win at Miami. Temple is better off without him but for some reason certain fans at UM think he should be kept around for 3-4 years to make it "fair" for him.

Do you think that Temple would get rid of their current coach if Manny wanted in? Not a chance. They realize now that they dodged a huge bullet with this guy.
