For Manny to be successful, it will all come down to recruiting and strategy. Manny needs to be relentless on the recruiting field, it needs to consume him, it needs to be his wife, girlfriend and mistress. We do not have the benefit of being like LSU or Ohio State or even USC, where kids in our backyard automatically want to play for the local school. We have to compete with everything we got for the top recruits. I have never been to South Florida, but I do know those kids have aspirations of playing in the NFL. Manny needs to sell these kids on not restoring glory back to the U and winning championships, but he has a plan to put them in the NFL. Kids are not going to Bama , OSU, Clemson, UGA because they want live in Tuscaloosa, Columbus, Clemson, or even Athens over Miami, but because those schools will get them ready for the NFL. Winning is important, but kids want to play at the next level.
In terms of hiring coaches, they need to be able to do two things: recruit and develop players for the NFL. If Diaz can show he can develop players for NFL at a high level, top players will come, if top players come then we will compete for championships. Then it will feed on itself.
Kids and their handlers are making business decisions, we need to talk not about the glory days from 20 years ago, but how we can get them paid.
Question: why would a top-player in South Florida play for Miami over Bama? I need a reason beyond he just want to play close to home? If your son is a top DB would you want Banda/Rumph coaching him or Nick Saban? Which one do you think can prepare your son best for the NFL? See my point?
