Manny Diaz New DC

[jerzeycane]

However, I don't like hearing this.

Was told that Dave Aranda would be heading to #Miami if not for #LSU .

If Steele stayed at LSU, we would have had Aranda

That's why you strike fast like a cobra and don't sit around with your thumb up your ***. There was a very large window of time between the date that Richt was hired and the date that Steele left LSU. Should have locked up Brown or Aranda during that window. Instead, we get Dale' II.

And that's why, if you're Aranda, you tell all comers to ***** off until you see the dust settle. Suppose Saban calls?

Suppose the LSU DC bounces and Les calls and tells you he has two moving trucks and two trucks with Brinks on the side of em?

This is a business.

there's no evidence to support this argument that his system "takes 3 years to implement" or whatever. the texas defense actually improved to top 10 in the country in his first season there, and the la tech defense improved dramatically in his only season there.

it's funny that this board spent 4 years begging to get back to an aggressive 4-3 defense (and rightfully so) but is somehow mad that we hired someone who is... too aggressive?

He FN bested Miss State 50 slots in the rankings in 1 FN yer in the best division in all of college with sub par talent.

 

[IndayArtHauz]

Makes the DB coach all the more key to me.

 

[Torocane]

Hope for the best.
Not the home run hire we hoped for but it could have been worse.
At least he's aggressive...so that's something.
Anyway upgrade over Dorito but then again no DC would an improvement.

 

[Zbrod95]

If Richt wanted him, then let's ride. Like posted already. We haven't even started practice under Richt and yall *****ing. It's a whole lot **** better than DORITO. AND we have one of the greatest Dline coaches in the land.

The best line coach in the land...and yea all this guys are trashing him before we even see him on the field.

 

[Mico Jones]

Absolute failure. Miserable miserable miserable hire.

....

We're gonna blitz like maniacs but idk about our DBs. Diaz gave up a lot of TDs thru the air at Texas. Yeah sure they were beats on the Dline but we need a very very good DBs coach now. Not to mention a few 5 stars to come thru

When you zone blitz, guess what has to happen?

A) You have to play zone

B) If you want to bring 2 non-DL, you have to drop DL into coverage.

C) If you want to zone blitz with 4, you have to drop a DL into coverage.

Aka everything Miami fans HATED about D'Onofrio is the crux of the system.

this is completely false. he is the exact opposite of dorito....there is no comparison. please stop smearing your ***** everywhere on this thread. thanks

What are you talking about? HE RUNS A ZONE BLITZ DEFENSE.

People who EVER complained about soft zone or AQM and McCord covering the flats should be IRATE right now, bc THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT DIAZ DOES ON DEFENSE.

You people realize that DOnofrio comes from the PSU background right? And you realize the system they ran there was THE ZONE BLITZ.

It's the same **** thing except now before AQM drops into coverage, he will have his hand in the dirt instead of standing up. Learn more.

Here is a quote from Vilma

But what does he know!! lol at some of you guys on here.

Jesus christ. So years of data that shows he is at best mediocre and at worst D'Onofrio Part 2 are irrelevant.

But a tweet where Vilma says he is happy about a 4-3, that means Manny Diaz is awesome?

Listening to yo *** <<<<< listening to a Miami legend/pro bowler who got richt here

 

[UMCANES777]

Brilliant hire by Richt...
Diaz drastically improved LA Tech in one year and was solid this year at MISS ST... He will deliver the ridiculously aggressive scheme we have all been wanting.. Homerun by Right...

 

[865CaneFam]

The lukewarm responses about this hire, shows me that
A. You obviously don't know how good of a coach he is.
B. You look at the 1 year in Texas as a measuring stick.
C. You was zoned in on the candidates mentioned more frequently on here.

I don't post much, I'm on here everyday though, so scratch the posts number. I believe this is a fantastic hire, and our boys better get in shape and in the playbook! Great hire Richt!

Vilma wanted us to hire Charlie Strong. Manny Diaz has been at best mediocre, and at worst an unmitigated disaster.

dude just stop...it worked at la tech and Mississippi state which by the way is a harder job than Texas

What exactly makes him a fantastic hire, other than he is cuban and coached in the SEC? His results?

"He improved LA Tech"

"Al Golden improved Temple!"

Same argument, holds no water.

 

[Zbrod95]

Btw since you like looking **** up go look up his ranking from la tech and Mississippi state

Once again googling so fast your have to make stuff up just to keep the hate up.

This Dude is a FN troll...

Go find another team you FN loser!

 

[CanesFiend]

Yeah, Texas was a dumpster fire...

Since then he took La. Tech's D from 70 to 35 in one offseason and then MSU's D from 86 to 57, also in one off season. Might not be the DC we wanted (Aranda) but he did that with much lesser talent at those schools than he is going to get here, give the dude a shot. Not to mention Kool's DLine is going to have some impact.

 

[FlipT]

"He and our defensive staff will implement a 4-3 attacking style defense." I don't feel this will be HIS defense.It seems like the staff as a whole will come up with a scheme to implement.

 

[Al Foil]

You would have had Aranda for 1-2 years tops. The guy is a mercenary.

I like Diaz and he will stick around if successful.
