Manny Diaz Show: Episode 6

[dukemv]

Was that blown coverage on the sack? Bolden passed off his guy, Hall didn’t. Great scheming by Lashlee, per usual.

 

[Unsider]

Why do we still have those two deca-generians on that show? In the absence of any heavyweight questions, they should have pole dancers interviewing Manny. That would be more appropriate.

There's a little too much Slick Al Golden in Manny. I hate that promoter part of his personality.

He's the son of a politician. Honestly it could be a lot worse.

But I also think that helps him on the recruiting trail. Between the way he sells transfers from the portal and how he closed last year's recruiting class, the salesman in him comes in handy.

Exactly. You need to be able to talk. College coaches are in the selling business. If you can't talk, you can't recruit. Now, at some point, you got to have some substance and back it up, lest that talk sound empty (Ron Zook, Al Golden). Manny needs to start winning now to back it up.

When did Sebastian The Ibis morph into a mongoloid?

There is a little bit of that in every P5 coach, or they wouldn't have the job.

Don’t insult Sebastian like that.

What I noticed is what a mouth breather that guy is. I mean, wtf..

I hear you. But that "Effort.Attitude.Toughness" acronym is Tony Robinson level stuff.

True but some are about what they preach while others say it because it’s sounds like something fans want to hear.

yeah, it’s shades of Alf Gluten making kids repeat phrases like “diversity beats adversity” only to have kids mess it up in pressers and say stuff like “adversity beats diversity” like Artie burns did. Smh

 

[DMoney]

Acronyms like that are pretty common with college coaches. It’s not over the top like with Golden. He dropped one every sentence.

My bad lmao

Would love to hear some of the others and from whom (if possible). All in good fun. I can imagine some of what's out there.

The Al Golden leadership book approach was beyond tone deaf.

Lou Holtz always talked about What’s Important Now (WIN) as an acronym for making the right choices. Brad Stephens has SHARPENS (Selflessness, Humility, Accountability, Resiliency, Passion, Even keel, No Doubts, Service).

Dabo even made one for Covid:

Folden took it to Gary Busey levels.

Man, when Golden first got hired I was so excited about his 300 page portfolio.

All to say, "Be a hamburger."

You think Dabo isn't doing that **** too?

I'm going to say this every time it comes up. Manny was raised primarily by his mom. And manny's dad became a politician after Manny left for college. Manny didn't come back until taking the job here. So the son of a politician narrative is extremely overblown and inaccurate if it means manny is "politically astute".
