Manny would had an abysmal recruiting class. We wouldn’t have Skinner, Citizen, Moss, and a few others who will be future starters, and hopefully stars. None of the big-name verbals would be thinking of Miami.
Manny would have had to replace Lashlee and other assistants. Doubtful he improves his average staff.
Manny might have had some portal success, like he did with Roche and Phillips. But perhaps not.
Manny might be 3-1, true. He beats BCC and Southern Miss. He loses bad to TAMU. Might have won today, as the biggest issue we have now is transitioning to a physical offense. His defense would still suck, especially with him at DC. Despite today’s big-play fest the defense is improved overall.
