Manny and the bowl game

[Hurricane Hero]

Should Manny be given the opportunity to coach in the bowl game? I was talking with a UM buddy and we were discussing whether Manny should coach in the bowl game and then let go or be fired after Duke. I said Manny “earned” the bowl game and he should coach in it and get a farewell game, maybe go out on a three game winning streak. My buddy thinks he should be let go after Duke regardless of outcome so we can try to get a coach before early signing day. We don’t have an AD yet and ESD is about three weeks after the Duke game so it would be a tight window to do all of that and recruit. At the same time, other schools aren’t wasting time finding their next coach, but they aren’t trying to replace a AD as well. What are you thoughts on the subject?

 

[Brandinho]

That's not how this works

 

[Mnhurricane]

Depends on whether you want to be shutout by a G5 program or not I guess

 

[WR Cane]

No...your buddy is correct.

 

[umcane4life]

Nope.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

You will have a new AD formally announced early next week at the latest.

 

[Zombie-Cane]

So you think, with the talent we have, and the schedule we had, Manny EARNED a bowl game by going 7-5?!?!
I’m willing to bet your mom told you “you are special” a lot.

The only thing Manny has earned is a new job as a G5 DC.

Manny should be let go after the Duke game. You then hopefully have a coach hired or at least talk some of the early signing period guys to wait it out until February.

Did your friend seem annoyed with you? Just curious

 

[DepressedIbis]

Depends on if the intention is being competitive in the game or not..

 

[Cane4L]

I would’ve fired him after FIU, or GT, or Duke, or LA Tech, or chit I don’t remember. Any one of those.

Manny needs to take his stubbornness with his defense and reset at a lower tier program. Caught lightning in a bottle with TVD and Lashlee. Not sure he would get lucky enough to find something like that to hide his ****** Defense anywhere else

 

[Canes Legacy]

Manny earned a 7-5 record this year with subpar preparation, poor fundamentals, bad defense, horrific STs, and bad player personnel decisions. He should consider himself lucky he's allowed to finish the year due to not having a boss at the moment.

 

[FL Cane]

If Manny coaches the bowl game then there is a 95% chance he’s back next year. He’ll be gone after Duke.

 

[JD08]

Assuming we beat Duke, Manny's done well enough to earn another chance at a P5 school. Coaching the bowl game is a lose-lose for all parties involved.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

The answer is NO!!! However, there is some news traction that Diaz may be given another year as the BOT may leave it up to the new AD to "evaluate" Diaz.

If Diaz coaches the bowl game, he is likely given the opportunity to return for another season and that's even worse.

Cut the head off the snake immediately after the Duke game and start clean.

It's a participation trophy, and we know Manny needs one at this point. So.... fire him now.

There are quotes around it for a reason, did you skip English class that often?

Manny should be watching whatever toilet bowl game we go to on the television.

Also, TVD should have some mystery ailment that prevents him from playing. We don't need a repeat of what happened with King.
