It is ironic (some nonsense about kickers, the IPF making us soft, and a misunderstanding of irony)

First year Diaz's FG kicker and punter are garbage...brings in Borregales and Hedley who are (were) great. Brings in Enos with great acclaim and he sucks, gets Lashlee who shined last year and can't get anything going this year. Gets rid of DC and is expected to meet expectations by going back to himself and the team can't tackle, can't put pressure on opponents and anyone can run the ball against us.

Now if his fixes would continue to succeed and the coach changes accomplish what is intended...who knows where we would be. Can't fix irony but have to keep trying. What if we did not miss the FG Thursday? I think Diaz is jinxed, makes the right moves and other areas collapse. He is trying so hard but is running in quicksand. He isn't the first coach to have horrible luck, sad it is as a Hurricane coach, we make good luck for us, bad luck for them....until now.

We are soft and I blame the IPF... a little heat and we go indoors, a little rain and likewise. Greentree has lost it's reputation as building character and toughness.

It’s not the practice field, or the IPF, it’s the coach

One saying that I believe in more than anything in this world is “you make your own luck”

Manny’s results are 100% not a surprise, they are expected
 
It’s not irony at this point, it’s a pattern. We haven’t had a good team where all 3 areas are good to great in forever. The good seasons are the exceptions now, not the bad ones. Consistency isn’t possible with bad coaching and that’s all we’ve had

This trolling is just so unnecessary.

U named 2 things he's successfully "fixed." Two out of ...? Our punter & last year's kicker.

That kicker is gone.
That punter is a 28 year old NFL player playing college football, who Manny had no hand in recruiting.

Nothing else he's attempted to fix has been fixed or even improved. I'd love to say CB recruiting has been fixed, but thats not exactly true until/unless those guys actually sign.

I don't buy into jinxes or curses, but I'll gladly go down that road for those who do.

If u buy into him being jinxed, u likely believe in fate. Not even fate is on his side. The Virginia TD that went out of Bolden's hands, rolled on top of the WR before finally resting in his hands, was fate saying its over. The FG curving at a strange angle before hitting the uprights is fate saying I already told u its over.

Tomorrow's excuse: South Florida rain is unfair to Manny.

Great post man

I'm growing more and more convinced that it's a legit curse. I don't know if it's the curse of the OB, if that troll Shalala whipped something up from under her bridge, payback for all the luck in 2017, I don't know. But it's definitely something and it's not all the head coach. This **** is just baffling. We can't do ANYTHING right without immediately doing something wrong. And it's year after year after year. Manny literally starts his career 1-0 with a win over the gators if Jeff Thomas just catches a punt. I rarely play the "what if" game and break things down to a single play, but that's 10000% true. Was he coached to drop the ball? Or he just made the biggest mistake possible at the most inopportune time? I could list 500 more examples. I know I'm majorly invested in this team so I'm trying to stay neutral here, but I simply cannot imagine there's a more frustrating team to pull for over the past few years. That's not ALL coaching. Will Mallory literally retiring before his senior season isn't coaching. A 37 year old Navaughn Donaldson being driven into his endzone by a defensive line who got steamrolled by Wake Forest isn't coaching. Mark Pope and Dee Wiggins being 5 and 4 star recruits and literally not being able to catch a football through three different WR coaches is not coaching. It's just truly baffling ****. I can't ever remember being as frustrated with the product as I am right now, and I've been following this program closer than I follow anything on earth for 30 years.

I used to think “he gets it” with the adjustments he’d make, but now I realize he’s entirely too reactive. He lets a problem fester to the point it results on bad outcomes, and only then does he address it. In other words, too little too late.

That’s not a recipe for success. It’s a recipe for the **** sandwich he’s forcing down our throats right now.

Agreed. I actually think maybe had T Will stayed, we would have gotten some nice LB recruits to commit for once. That kinda screwed us. Either way Manny needs an injection of testosterone and to cut his teeth as a HC of a G5 program somewhere first. Maybe too little too late for the remainder of his career.
