Manny Diaz next Canes coach

[Ver]

Sleazy move by Manny also.

He always wanted to be here but I don't think he stay with Richt here

is Manny a bible thumper? I am genuinely just asking because I dont know. I guess I could just ask, is he a christian? Cause the term bible thumper can have negative connotations, even though I don't mean it negatively at all. So is he?

What does this have to do with his coaching competency, ability to evaluate and develop players, recruit, run an organization, connections in the college coaching ranks?

I am genuinely asking because I just don't know. You are making a huge assumption in that I think it's a bad thing. I don't necessarily do or do not. I just want to know. Do you know?

Don't know and is not germane to discussion, and I am Christian so I don't think of it as a negative either.

Yeah people were ****ed. And to be fair we really didn’t do a “coaching search” so I can sort of see why. But regardless here we are now and let’s support this brother.

Lazy hire?

Lazy hire?

Yes.

But that doesn't mean it wont work.

 

[407cane]

Lot of fake fans in this thread

 

[Cribby]

Yes.

But that doesn't mean it wont work.

It was lazy but for once we got a perfect hire/ fit from the lazy hire.

Similar to Butch a little in the perfect fit aspect.

He was waaaaay down in the list. **** he may not have been on the list at all initially.

Ended up saving the program maybe.

What a bump

Lazy hire?

Honestly? Yeah, probably. But lazy doesn't always mean bad. You could make the argument that Butch Davis was a lazy hire, by going right back to a UM guy (he'd followed JJ to Dallas) instead of bringing in a true outsider. On the list of potential coaches, you either had retreads or inexperience. I would have enjoyed watching Leach (we wouldn't be worrying about points) but might not be a great fit w S FL culture. Kyle Wittingham would have been intriguing. Chris Peterson was dream hire, but he wasn't leaving PNW. Cristobal, I guess he would have been next logical choice, but between Diaz and Cristobal, I'd go with Diaz. If/when Manny wins a NC and bounces to NFL, then I think Cristobal will probably be next.

Game one down.

 

[CanesMembranes]

LOL at the chest puffers bc manny tweets good and invents jewelry.

Temple coach, temple results.

 

[motorcitycane]

Manny your legacy.

0-2. First since 1978.

 

[motorcitycane]

First year not going so hot. They will not fire you. So please hire some competent assistants this offseason.

Not a single coach should be retained.
