As someone who hasn't sold out on Manny yet, you want the guy who hired Enos and Baker to be the head coach?
You hate Diaz more than Golden, Richt and Shannon? Why?Don't insult my guy Cornette like that. Frankly, I'd pay to have Corny cut a promo on Diaz. I never thought I'd hate anyone as much as Cornette hates Vince Russo, but Manny Diaz changed that. Congrats Manny!
Has never dealt with fundraising, hasn't dealt with college athletics for the better part of the last 3 decades(Outside of stopping in on scouting visits and whatnot). I wouldn't have a problem with Zo being the Asst AD overseeing football, reporting to a strong, competent AD that has the big picture, but I do not want Zo running the entire show. This isn't the NFL, where you can be singleminded. Dealing with boosters, dealing with donors, dealing with all the business crap requires a particular kind of mind, and I don't know if Zo has the patience for all that stuff. He has been in the pro ranks for awhile, where you don't have to worry about that stuff. I was hoping Zo would get a GM job, because he would be dynamite there. I'd love to have him as the Football Czar here, where the AD gives him unfettered authority.Alzono Highsmith. Dude can talk and knows ball on this level and NFL.
Golden and Richt were hires I could at least justify. Even Shannon was a guy that was a rising star, an alum. Diaz is just a lazy, pathetic hire by a lazy, inept AD. Never mind the fact that Diaz is the ultimate bull**** artist.You hate Diaz more than Golden, Richt and Shannon? Why?
Thought about this too, but quickly remembered just how stubborn Manny is about certain things like his coaching philosophy. He does make the necessary changes but the problem is that there’s always necessary changes to be made with him. He only changes when the change is obvious and there’s heat around the corner. He is reactionary and not proactive. He doesn’t plan well.Was just thinking Manny is the ‘king of the off season’ and is a great salesman for Miami as a school and brand. What if we made a Celtics/Brad Stevens type move for Manny to be AD instead of head coach. He might be better at finding a great coach than he is at being one?
Idk, just throwing it out there. Never gonna happen.
But all three failed here. Golden tried to slink off to Penn St ffs - he stopped answering his phone. Richt hired his unqualified son to be the QB coach.Golden and Richt were hires I could at least justify. Even Shannon was a guy that was a rising star, an alum.

This is where a lot of people in our fanbase fail to get the point. A hire can make a ton of sense at the time and fail, because we are talking about human beings and in hiring, there are things you can't plan on. For example, no one could predict Richt getting sick or starting his physical decline(Honestly, I think Richt started getting sick long before he retired), no one could predict that Golden would be willing to tank his career for D'Onofrio, despite being the most ambitious coach Miami had hired in well over a decade. As a hiring manager, your goal is to find the best people you can, knowing full well that some will ultimately fail. Even great hiring managers hire a dud, the problem is when you consistently hire people that shouldn't be in the running, candidates whose success probabilities are bad to start with.But all three failed here. Golden tried to slink off to Penn St ffs - he stopped answering his phone. Richt hired his unqualified son to be the QB coach.
Diaz is better than all three imo. Is he the answer? No, probably not, but I'm not going to crucify him and let the last three off the hook.

Very true! Vince Russo was one of the big culprits in ruining WCW. Eric Bischoff shoots on it in his YouTube podcast 86 weeks. It’s pretty good if you haven’t listened to it before.Don't insult my guy Cornette like that. Frankly, I'd pay to have Corny cut a promo on Diaz. I never thought I'd hate anyone as much as Cornette hates Vince Russo, but Manny Diaz changed that. Congrats Manny!
Dude, Gorilla Strength had me completely LMFAOAre our fans all gorilla strength retarded?
Manny as AD. Holy ****
A bit of Nepotism at play, Manure knows people in high places..Golden and Richt were hires I could at least justify. Even Shannon was a guy that was a rising star, an alum. Diaz is just a lazy, pathetic hire by a lazy, inept AD. Never mind the fact that Diaz is the ultimate bull**** artist.
He would kill it as an Associate AD responsible for promotions, PR, and selling tickets.Was just thinking Manny is the ‘king of the off season’ and is a great salesman for Miami as a school and brand.
