Keep Manny, fire enos!

Well, we're probably going to have to settle for that and do a lot of praying in the off season because Manny isn't going anywhere this year not matter what.

We praised Enos for going more to the gun and pistol the last few weeks that got the offense rolling... the prob is he got way to comfortable believing he could keep having success calling the exact same RPO’s over and over again that worked the last few weeks. Instead of developing the progression or tweak to other teams adapting he stayed the same... also Wiggins had a great couple of games, but 2 of those INT he had a role in.

My main gripe is that enos is so dedicated to his philosophy that he is slow to adjust and still focuses on trying to do it the way he wants vs being progressive in how to build on what works and being ready with the answers when teams like FIU clearly had figured out the RPO slant concept.

I think enos is a great QB coach but as a play caller he just is not there yet. My question is Can we find an OC willing to come here who can also develop the QB’s... I can’t imagine enos staying as qb coach and not OC..

Still have hope for manny, just hope he is still willing to make the coaching changes he needs to after hiring offensive coaches he basically gave free reign too.

I never praised Enos. I've questioned his desire to be the smartest guy on the field since day one; never taking what's in front of him and trying to out-clever the completion since day one.

He was paid $1.2M (reportedly) to come in as some Alabama "quarterback whisperer" while delivering an offense that wreaked havoc on defenses. None of that is the case; especially Williams going full-blown deer-in-headlights against FIU when they brought the heat.

Enos is another Bama assistant who was a dice-roll based on his being hired by Saban and working with an abundance of talent. A lot of guys have done the same thing and proved average when on their own.

If Diaz wants to have a shot at saving his career at Miami, he punts on Enos this off-season and finds the guy he was talking about end of last year when he was hired, up until he landed Dead Weight Dan.

.... and nor should he. You don't fire a coach after one year as you'd never land anyone else if your MO wasn't to at least give a guy a couple years to get a 15-year mistake somewhat on track.

This program has been a disaster since the end of 2005. God or Nick Saban himself wasn't going to fix it in 2019. ****, even Saban was 7-6 year one at Alabama and lost to Louisiana-Monroe.

That said, Diaz better be quick to punt on parts of this dead-weight staff or it will be the death of him.
 
Manny is not going anywhere but cut enos and bring me Chad Morris or Graham Harrell.
 
I don’t see enos being fired. Besides, if he is, what OC worth his salt will want to coach for a lame duck HC? Manny and enos’ last chance at staying here is going to be reliant on transforming the offense to a (primarily) spread attack. If they don’t rehaul the offense for the spring, 2020 will be a repeat of 2019. Sadly, knowing how coaches are, they are stubborn and probably think they are very close and won’t change anything. Spring 2020 is going to give us a good idea as to where this train is headed

I'm not one to fly off the handle, but I just don't see it. I don't see how Manny hasn't managed to get a handle on this staff and team by this point. It's not impossible he could still figure it out, but I just don't see any reason to thing he will. He had extra time to prepare, and as usual the team looked worse for it. I don't know exactly what that means, but it's nothing goog.

Agree, except about the spring. Spring doesn't tell you anything. I guess it tells you who your starters probably are, but you already knew that. Everything is going to be positive this spring, just like last spring and every other spring since football was invented.
 
I seriously need to hear some sort of news come out tomorrow. I want statement made by the University.

U can cut the tail of a snake off, and that **** will still bite you. To kill the snake, u must chop off the head. The head is Blake/Strawley and anything/one associated with them (including Diaz hire). It’s truly time to start over. Keeping Diaz, like keeping Richt, but proposing an ultimatum to hire a new OC is weak.

The only, ONLY way I would be OK w Manny staying is if we hired a highly sought after DC that’s in full control of the defense, a highly sought after OC that’s in full control of the offense, and a highly sought after ST coach that’s in full control of Special Teams. All Manny has to do is suck his thumb in the corner. We know neither r happening, so no, Manny can’t stay.

I understand what you’re saying why we can’t fire him but he should be fired. He has certainly earned it. There is no excuse for some of the crap we’ve seen this year.
