It went from "just win" and "a wins a win" when we were winning by a few points and lucky interceptions. Now its "we are almost winning!"
I can't believe the head of the SyFY network is the chair of the board that is supposed to corral actual business leaders and executives into a coherent strategy. If there was ever a time they needed a Fain or Miller as the chair it is now and conveniently we are led by this.
Troll level- moonThis guy is extremely good
Is this the dreaded vote of confidence some of ya’ll been asking for?“Manny is our head coach. Obviously this has been a disappointing season. Manny would acknowledge that. Our guys would acknowledge that. And I understand that the fans acknowledge that. “The last two losses have been very tough. The team has fought to the very end. And while those games could have easily gone our way and we’d be sitting here at 4-2 and 2-0 [in the Atlantic Coast Conference], they didn’t go our way.
“We need to win games. Manny knows we need to win games. And he and his coaching staff are doing everything they can to put our guys in position to win games.’’ The Hurricanes (2-4, 0-2 ACC), off to their worst start since 1997, meet No. 18 NC State at 7:30 p.m. Saturday (ESPN2) at Hard Rock Stadium. Going into the NC State game, Diaz, 47, is 16-14 since he became the head coach at Miami before the 2019 season. The Herald asked Diaz if the NC State game could affect Diaz’s job status. “Every game affects the evaluation of a job,’’ James said. “Again, dating back to his time over the years, every game you play affects your status. It strengthens it in certain games and obviously challenges it in others. Every game is part of the evaluation of someone’s job status.’’
James was then asked why he has decided not to replace Diaz at this time, considering the reality of where UM is as a football program. “Because I don’t think that’s the best decision for the University of Miami football program,’’ James said. Why not? James: “When you look at Year One obviously there were some real challenges in Manny’s head coaching. He would acknowledge that. It was a tough finish for us with the three losses to end the season. “Year two the team significantly improved (3:58) and had a great year overall. Obviously a very disappointing and frustrating loss to North Carolina and a battle with Oklahoma State that didn’t go our way. But calling it for what it is, an 8-2 regular- season record and loss in the bowl game.
“And this year has been disappointing on all accounts. “We need to win more and Manny knows we need to win more and that’s what he’s focused on. But my job is to support him in doing that and part of that is getting ready to play North Carolina state tomorrow.”
How do you think he's survived so long? This is goes around life pretending hes very nice, but ultimately, he is a used car salesman that can raise cash and that's about it.Troll level- moon
