This just means he's not making any decisions now. I'm sure you'll find similar quotes from Diaz on pen0s from last year.
The reality is that, like last year, the administration will lean on Manny to make changes. Last time they did that, it resulted in hiring of Lash and an overhaul (in a good way) of the offense. I'm sure they'll lean on manny again and say "see, this is how you do things - get rid of the bad performers and you'll be much better."
