When I was defensive coordinator, the input from guys like Ephraim Banda, Jonathan Patke, and Mike Rumph…we have all been together in the scheme for so long and we have all seen the same things. We have guys that have been together since 2011, so that communication is going on and we have great ideas from everybody on the staff. I am really excited about the way we are getting better on defense and the way those guys are playing—and we needed it. We needed to make plays and Blake made some great calls to get after the quarterback in that game.”

We held VT to two touchdowns below their scoring average.

Defense, despite the CIS hysteria, has played about two halves of really bad football all season.

Got to keep getting better cause two huge late season tests are coming in Wake and UNC,

I have no idea if he took over or not, but even if it’s true, Diaz is not the type of coach to throw his assistant under the bus by admitting that.

For how frustrated he was with Enos last year, he never once voiced that in a presser. Just keep that in mind. We won’t know anything until the season is over.

Edit: @Jassid82 beat me to the punch.

Don't be impressed by defending VT for 1 qtr. and winning by 1. VT offense is trash and in reality we struggled "mightily" against this garbage offensively and defensively. Nobody on here truly believes we can defend any of the top 15 offenses in college ball. Baker and crew need to be gone.

Even if he wasn’t, Manny would never admit that publicly. It would force his hand to fire him after the season. Which who knows if that’s what he wants to do. With all the DC talent potentially going into the offseason it would be a great time to make an upgrade.
