Diaz just wanted out. He knows the ss richt is sinking and doesnt want to be out of a job come next november. Plus he figures he will never have a better chance to make the jump to HC. Very rare to have a top 5 defense two years in a row.

I'm disappointed but I understand his thought process. What is more troubling is our best coach just left.

No you don't.

Fans are the only ones up in arms over Mark Richt; whereas a coach like Manny Diaz respects the man—who he's had history with since he was a GA at Florida State and Richt was the offensive coordinator. The lengths our fans go to in effort to invent ways to trash Richt is pathetic.

Diaz just fielded the second-ranked defense in the nation—and the only school to come calling with a head coaching opportunity was Temple; and he was even second choice at that. Mike Elko was their top guy, he declined to stay at aTm and Diaz was next man up.

Last four head coaches at Temple all quickly parlayed the gig into better opportunities—Golden to Miami, Addazio to Boston College, Rhule to Baylor and Collins to Georgia Tech; all in the span of eight years total.

Manny Diaz wants to be a head coach; Temple is a great opportunity to go cut his teeth. Miami is his dream job and when he's in the running for the gig, he knows EXPERIENCE is the key to getting it—much more-so that hoping to be promoted from within. Big time programs want head coaching experience—so Diaz left for a small-time program to get some. Welcome to the world of college football coaching.

Furthermore, Richt HIRED Diaz as his coordinator (which his detractors don't want to give credit for) and three years later Miami's defense is one of the best in the land; meaning the defensive coordinator position is now actually COVETED nationally, instead of the laughingstock it was five years ago. Richt will have a quality list of candidates BECAUSE the guy he hired to do the job the past three years was a success and the Hurricanes' D looks like "The U" of old again.

Stop inventing reasons to *****. Yes, Richt has his work cut out for him—and year three was a letdown, after overachieving last year. The man deserved a mulligan on the heels of leading Miami to its first Coastal title in 14 tries last year.

Lastly, you want to point fingers—get frustrated with our two r-freshmen quarterbacks who didn't get their heads out of there azzes this season. BOTH should've been able to beat Malik Rosier out of the job SOUNDLY—yet both got themselves suspended for ******** off and not taking the role seriously. N'Kosi Perry FINALLY woke up late in the season—reports of studying the playbook more, watching more film, being a leader at practice, etc. You know, ALL THE STUFF HE SHOULD'VE STARTED DOING IN SPRING.

Richt recruited these slugs and his son is in charge of them. So who is it really a reflection of? Everyone involved.

LMFAOOOOOO!! Winning the Coastal is not overachieving. Any decent coach should win the coastal year after year with the talent gap between Miami and the rest.

He didn't say winning the coastal was some big prize, he just said that particular team overachieved to get there. And if you watched a single game last year you know he's right.

And get off your high horse. Miami has no reason to expect the coastal or any other benchmark. This program has consistently underachieved for 15 years so quit thinking we deserve anything or anything should be easy. Ask yourself why we never lucked into the coastal. Seriously, with all our talent you'd figure we would have lucked in at least once.

I read what he said. No it was not overachieving. We have by far the most talent in the Coastal. It should be a cake walk every year. Why? Because we have had awful coaches since we joined the ACC. We have literally had the best team every single year we where in the ACC. Also, Golden lucked into winning the Coastal, but we turned it down.

Richt gets all the credit for good hires, none of the blame for the bad ones. Richt gets all the credit for the wins, none of the blame for the losses. I've never seen a coach, who hasn't won a title, get defended like Richt does in my life. The only reason these rodents are roaming the boards more freely now is because the s-hit show of a season is over.

Me neither. I have never seen more blind followers of a coach in my life. We even got bums from Georgia that where UGA fans for there entire lives, donated money, season ticket holders, etc. and they jumped ship to follow this terrible corch to the 305. It makes no sense. I really can't wrap my head around it. The off season is going to be miserable. They are going to be gassing up Munoz and the kid we flipped from App state about how they were underrated and should have been 5 stars. Whatever DC we hired is going to be the second coming of Bill Parcels. We are going to hear about how great Kosi and Jarren QB battle is going. etc. etc. Then next year will come around and we will be fighting tooth and nail to be bowl eligible after getting curb stomped by UF.

Fck dude, did you miss the part where Rosier was the QB? Remember how he completed 54% of his passes? What about the part where we couldn't convert 3rd and 2 to save our lives? How about back to back fantastic plays late in the game to beat teams we should have handled easily? Oh, then there were the games where our very good defense decided to take the first half off so that we had to play from behind. And I think this year proved that we had a ton of TO luck last year. Without 4 TOs a game, we would have lost the middle of the season. So yeah, we overachieved.


And golden lucked into a tiebreaker. At 5-3. So maybe that wasn't quite "winning" the coastal.

It's embarrassing the lengths the worshipers go to in order to defend their fraud idol. Who in their right mind stops rooting for the school they grew up watching because the coach leaves? lol. It's mind boggling to me. We go 7-5 and people want to toss it up as f-ucking mulligan cause he won one of the s-hittiest divisions in the power 5.

It still is considered winning the Coastal. They were selling Coastal champ shirts at the book store on campus. Not only that, but we would have played in the ACCCG if we wanted too.

The defense didn't play well in the first half. That is on Mork. A good coach would have been able to straighten that out after the first couple games. Not let it drag out for 3 years of bad first halves.

Yes we had the worst QB in p5 history, but that is Richts fault for hiring his god awful son who can't coach at all and couldn't prepare Kosi or Jarren to step up. He also didn't even bother looking for a grad transfer.

Not being able to conver 3rd and 2 had a lot to do with the awful play calling all game so the other team knew exactly what play we were going to call in those situations.

I completely agree and have been saying it all last year. We won 2 games based off pure luck and the TOs obviously bailed out the offense. That is my entire point. It shouldn't have been this difficult with the talent we had. All that talent and we still needed TOs and lucky plays to bail us out just to win the coastal.

You need to be nuts to switch schools just because some schitty corch left. Especially when he was replaced by a better coach. LMFAO exactly. Not only that, but they were ecstatic that we won the coastal in the first place and wanted to give him an extension and make him AD in waiting.

richt hiring him was the best thing to happen to manny. he was a middling coordinator until he got to miami. he now is a HC. he left bc he got a HC job which was his goal. congrats manny.
 
I think it is a bad move on Diaz part could have stayed with Mork another yr or 2 then when Mork is out could have moved right in but time will tell. I wish him luck.

I never said any of it wasn't Richt's fault or that we shouldn't win the coastal all the time, just that we overachieved last year. Pointing out all those faults of Richt's only makes my point for me. We overachieved to win 10 despite Richt being unable to develop a QB or motivate guys on game day or call plays designed to work with what we actually had, not what he wished we had. If you don't think winning the coastal despite all that is overachieving, than what is?
