Jesus. But the hire has been made and no one will know what Diaz will do at Miami. Can't everyone just wait until Diaz pulls a Dorito like season in 2016 before we start with the nonstop *****fest????
I don't understand this line of thinking. As if what a coach did for his career should have no bearing bc he didn't do it at Miami.
It goes hand in hand with the absurd belief that anybody can easily coach Miami to championships.
I think we really have people who legitimately believe that all you have to do it hand a guy a manual that says "4 Defensive Linemen, 3 Linebackers" and it's instant defensive domination.
Here's a link to a Mississippi State board. Most of their posters are happy he's going. I saw mention of his bend but don't break defense that gives up big plays and I also saw mention of MSU players trashing Diaz on twitter.
Diaz to Miami. Wtf?
Hiring DCs continues to be Richt's Achilles heel.
Yep. **** I wish Richt wasn't so bad at hiring DCs. We might have actually fielded a solid defense this year.
Last year Mississippi State ranked 56 in Total Defense. The year before Louisiana Tech was ranked 35 in Total Defense when Diaz was there. Before that at Texas: 2013 (69), 2012 (68), 2011 (11).
His record shows that the last time he had a stellar defense was 2011. It wasn't so outrageous to criticize the hire based on previous results. This year we should finish in the Top 20 and I think we'll lead in Tackles for Loss.... a big improvement for us and Diaz.
