What's the difference? What kind of answer did you think we were going to get from Temple's 3rd choice? I am honestly not piling on Manny. He isn't a head coach at this point. Lazy hire. Some on this board thought the game has passed Butch Davis but I will say this, He is the ONLY one that was begging for the job. Richt was toast emotionally and Manny should have gotten his feet wet at Temple. If Manny was truly what we had in mind then Butch could have carried the bag just as Mack Brown is doing for Carolina. I live near Chapel Hill. Mack is holding the weight until that OC is ready. The difference is that an OC can take of a Carolina and be fine with expectations. You can't do that at Miami. This is big boy football. Well, at least it used to be.He’s such a pu$$y didn’t have the balls to ask Many why he didn’t use the timeout and waited when there was only 13 seconds before he called one
Butch was an atrocious game day coach when he first got the gig, so let’s not re-write history. He got a bit better as the years went along but was never viewed as a tactician on the sidelines.What's the difference?

The next couple of years will cement the program into the 7 to 8 win threshold. It's what we are. I don't blame Manny or Golden. I blame the AD. Those guys were not ready for Miami. I will always love the school and the program. But it's time to accept what is there.
Manny will do well, it's just not going to be over night. Our offense looked better than it has in years IMO. Just going to take a while to click.
While I agree with most of this, why can't we have both units operating well at the same time? First it was Golden where the offense was fine but the defense sucked. Then we had the Mark Richt years where the defense was mostly great but the offense sucked. Now we're back to the offense doing well but the defense not good? Just can't understand why both can't work at the same time. I've blocked the Coker and Shannon years so I don't remember what actually worked well (if anything) during those years.
I mentioned this in another thread but we have inexperienced people being forced to play significant minutes on both sides of the ball. It's a side effect (IMO) of the repeated unbalanced recruiting classes we've had. They're going to make mistakes and when it happens, the pattern appears random.While I agree with most of this, why can't we have both units operating well at the same time?
