Let's be honest, this is exactly what the University of Miami was hoping for—the perfect smoke screen to buy more time.

With both D'Eriq King and Jake Garcia now out for the season, the Canes now have one lone option at quarterback—providing the perfect scapegoat for a double-talking head coach, say-nothing AD and spin-city athletic department.

Any offensive regression this year will now be blamed on King's fluke injury—not a makeshift offensive line, or bad play calling by Rhett Lashlee. Tyler Van Dyke will subconsciously become the fall guy—post-game pressers where Dead Manny Walking praises his young quarterback's effort, while making it clear that Miami got a bad hand this year by way of the injury bug. Guys are trying, but we're undermanned out there—which is part of college football—but still, we've got it worse than most, at crucial positions. Blah, blah, blah.

Meanwhile, the fact the defense has regressed—under a long-time coordinator turned head coach, who wanted to go back to do his old job, instead of focusing on his new CEO role—it'll get swept under the rug. The Canes missed 30 tackles against Michigan State and are one of the worst-tackling teams in the nation—under Diaz, no less—but they keep ignoring that storyline and will make it about King's injury during UNC week.

This is some political-level strategizing here out of UM and the Diaz camp; the timing of everything. Miami played Michigan State 22 days ago—it really took over three weeks to determine that rehab wasn't the answer and King needed surgery?


Conspiracy theorist in me believes this would've been announced the Friday after Virginia, had Miami won that game—feeling good about the win and Van Dyke's second half rally—but once UM slipped to 2-3 going into the bye week, everything went dark until Monday of this week; official news it'll be a freshman out there for North Carolina and North Carolina State these next two weeks—subliminally telling folks not to expect much, without the heart and soul of the transfer quarterback under center.


All this in effort to stave off an in-season firing—as it's not Dead Manny Walking's fault that these injuries happened—and if they can salvage 6-6 and make a bowl, they'll get healthy in the off-season, try to land another solid class and will get 'em in 2022!

On a macro-level Miami's only hope (for the fan base and state of the program) is that the Canes take a few colossal beatings at the hands of the Tar Heels and Wolfpack—the type of losses that can't be blamed on a play here or there, an injury or a few unlucky bounces.

Miami needs to get wrecked over the next few weeks so the heat get turned up proper. The ****block-At-Hard-Rock was a good start; a comeback falling short, with a thud—and the national / local spotlight has been on the program since the ESPN callout after the Michigan State loss—but it needs to pile-on from here, not let up.

If the Canes are 2-5 in ugly fashion, Sunday October 24th could be be all she wrote for Diaz.

Let's say for a minute they allow this to be a smoke screen. Next season everything will go to sht and every single person who agreed with Herbstreit and was shocked they ignore it will be hunting for their pitchforks. As averse as they are to negative publicity, they have to know they'll be hammered for ignoring the obvious.
 
Worst offensive line in the ACC, worst tackling team in the NCAA, all due to the inept coaching and management of Manny Diaz. If it weren't for the horrific OL King would still be playing. Diaz is the cause of ALL of the problems with UM football and the program won't have a chance to begin the turnaround as long as he is here.

We are not winning 4 more games and Diaz's job is not being saved by injuries. Diaz is finished as the UM coach because his team WILL NOT win enough games. This was true before and after injuries. And no one in the national media or in anyway connected to UM football cares about the injuries. Every team in football has injuries which they are expected to replace with depth. The lack of depth is itself in indictment on the program, which is an indictment against the head coach.
Manny Diaz is done. I won't predict when during, or right after the season, he is fired. But that is the only issue left. When, not if.
 
What kind of justice would it be if TVD balls out, offense averages 35 a game here on out but Manny’s defense gives up 40+ from now on? Can’t blame the injury to King then.
 
This recruiting class is cooked. This will set the program back one year. If they don’t fire manure that will set this program back another year. And whoever takes over will have a tougher road to being good. If we keep manure also a bunch of the young talent will transfer out.

The best coach of manure is canned this reason will presumably have this team roughly:
Garcia TVD jaccuri brown
Knighton Chaney thad cody
Key x brashard Jacolby melo
OL - gotta hit the portal hard.
Arroyo and Brantley - need to hit portal

Leonard Robert’s chantz Harvey Davis - hit portal
Tae James kam balom Washington Harrell
Curtis Clarke dunson couch
Chase smith
Austin-cave troutman johnson - hit portal

I’m missing guys that are older and may come back like Gilbert Stevenson(doubt it) etc but I’m showing that there’s young talent here but the portal needs to be used heavy to fill gaps. Like Michigan state. If we wait a year tho lots of guys will transfer out and we won’t add anyone of note from high school or the portal cause they don’t want to join the sinking ship.


We need to pull the trigger. We are still attractive

GFY, no Miami fan ever wants them to get embarrassed.

Don't sleep on Pittsburgh being the team that gives Manny his fireable beat down if UNC doesn't. Pickett is on fire as a QB, Whipple has their offense rolling, and Narduzzi has a stiffy for wanting to kick Miami's ***.

I can easily see Pittsburgh rolling up 50+ points on Manny's cover-free defense.

This is about as good a foundation, potential wise, that will be available. That offense could be deadly. Kinda thin in spots but that’s to be expected when a job opens up. It’s a shame the admin can’t see that and rally around it.
