Love Manny or hate Manny

It is hard not to recognize and give him credit for identifying the teams needs and addressing them this offseason. This offseason especially has challenging in ways we will probably never see again. Manny was able to do the following.

Replace Enos with a successful uptempo spread guy who runs a system that relates well to the S Fl athlete.

Sign the best (arguably) available transfer qb to run this new uptempo spread

Sign the best Ot in the portal with a good deal of experience who replaces perhaps the worst tackle in college football.

Move Baxa who single handedly cost us games and sign a grad transfer who has a big leg and proven results.

Add the best defensive grad transfer on the market in Roche who combined with GR15 and Phillips creates the best DE rotation in the country.



Now we may find a way to f up the season still, but manny identified the biggest issues and absolutely crushed them.

Now if he can improve his in game coaching and the secondary improves .....we may have something this year.

The more i see the more i hate him.......he has done a good job in the transfer portal etc but i still question if this job is to big for him .......however with our AD and the incompetence of the Liberal Administration we have become an also ran.........he needs to to win 10 games and do it convincingly.......

When we played Clemson for the ACC, had we had Herndon and Richards on teh field, the D would have been in a better position, remember Clemmie only scored 31 with that high powered O and that was b/c of turnovers and the O putting the D in a bad position. Richards ability to stretch the field allowed for Berrios and Herndon to make plays underneath. When Richards went out, that limited Rosier (our already limited QB) even more. WHen Herndon went down, we were done offensively.

Agreed. ND had a top tier offense that year, too, and we totally dominated them. Wisconsin in the bowl wasn't a great defensive performance, but it wasn't terrible either: 400 yards and 34 points, aided by 3 Rosier INTs, really isn't that bad.

I think our fans don't realize how high scoring modern college football is. I don't blame them - they've been watching our offense after all! But our worst defensive performances under Manny have been more "meh" than truly bad.
 
Manny has made some promising changes and added some promising personnel

I'm always excited preseason....But realistically ....I also remember that He also did that last year too

The bottom line has been and will always be.......Can Manny improve Manny?

If so we'll improve significantly......If not...be prepared for more of the same
