Clemson is one or more levels above Miami. Judging Manny based on a "respectable" loss (in other words, Clemson has to work for the win and the game is still within reach for UM late in the 2nd half) two weeks from now is unfair.
Unlike Folden, Manny saw a problem with one of his coordinators and quickly made the change. Same with Richt, who refused to see the inadequacy of his own play calling and his son's coaching. At the least, it shows that Manny recognizes and corrects his mistakes instead of stubbornly hanging on to a bad idea.
Manny has also mastered the Portal. Even if we only have players like King and Bolden for one year, UM will enjoy a long-term benefit. Think about all those premium high-school seniors in Florida who are considering FSU, Louisville, UF or any other college. They want to play where they can shine on a national stage. So far this season, UM has definitely boosted its attractiveness for the top recruits. Spanking FSU especially helps. I doubt if previous coaches would have kept their foot on the gas like UM did last night.
