Manny Diaz

Conviniently leaving out Mark Richt...12-5 in the ACC with what to show for it? He did nothing to elevate this program, CMR left him a foundation with something to build on and he crapped it away.

Richt did a nice job here too he went 16-8 in acc (4-4 last season) while manny went 16-9. You’re right nothing to show for it. I don’t view 2019 as some huge thing he let slip away (id reference we were unranked vs top 15 in 2022 but you didn’t like that more objective measure). We’re allowed to disagree on who gets blamed or credit for what. I’ll say he’s 15-7 at duke with something to show for it (hard to imagine he’s not 17-5 without us grabbing Mensah and coop) and I can’t wait for Mario to move him to 15-8

Idk why this is making you angry all I’ve done is point at his record in conference play to say he did well (not great) here. Idk why his defenses regressed as HC he obviously struggled to juggle that (losing Greg Rousseau for covid didn’t help). His defenses at Duke have improved or is that **** riding lol

We aren't talking about Manny at Duke, we are talking about him at Miami. All you are doing is defending the guy which is really weird. Go root for Duke tomorrow.

@Echtcane I'd sure love to know why you face palmed and downvoted me. Humor us on how you disagree.

I've listened to all the venom spewed here against Manny for years, and it feels like more than 50% of it is has been just personally directed hostile ****. From what I saw, the guy did the best he could with very limited support compared to what came after him. He made mistakes, especially with the first OC hire, but Mario did too, more than once with the same thing. If you look at Mario's record at UM during the same initial 3 years, the record is almost the same, with a ton of Admin support and NIL. And now we have people saying it's not fair to compare how Manny would have done with equivalent support. Of course he would have done much better. That said, I do understand why the change was made and think it was the right move to get Mario. I love what he's done for UM. But the personal nastiness toward Manny is something I've always thought was ignorant.

Okay I thought he did well finishing (going) 12-5 in acc last two years and 16-9 overall. I thought he was a very good dc for us. Sadly the best Miami football I got to see after the age of like 8 was not due to Coker Shannon or golden who failed to go above .500 in acc. But was largely due to Manny in my opinion (his defenses 2016-2018 and then as hc in 2020). In a diehard canes fan and don’t know why me thinking this angers you or you’d imply I’d root against us. All I started this with was that my opinion is that he did well here. Hope you have a great day and an even better one tomorrow

Mario’s doing awesome! I couldn’t be more grateful he’s our coach and where we’re at right now.
 
It's not just the NIL that has helped Mario. It's the focused support of the university administration.
This did not exist when Manny was here.

Manny didn't recruit. Mario is on the verge of bringing in his 3rd class ranked inside the top 7 in the last 4 years. If you look at all the points I listed in a previous post why Manny was a joke you'll understand. I don't get how anyone could defend Manny ******* Diaz. Do you think Mario would put up with the **** Manny let slide here?

That isn't good enough for being in a ****** conference. If you think that is doing well then your standards are really low.

Yeah but lets not forget, Mario is the benefactor of NIL and a University that actually pays for coaches now...dont get me wrong...this is not a pro-Manny, anti-Mario post...Im so happy Mario is here...I just dont nunderstand the vitriol towards fired coaches

Let's not forget that alot of that money came because of Mario. If he doesn't come neither does the money.

That’s fair. If you think 12-5 is **** then he did **** and if you think 12-5 is doing well then he was doing well. Unfortunately my standards were that is doing well after seeing us go .500 for 15 years. I’m glad we’re doing better (although 2023- 2025 Mario was 15-9 in acc play not including 2022) and fully think we’re at a place where 8-1 is the floor (for however long we stay) which is a place Mario and co have brought us to
 
Manny cult of personality is truly one of the most bizarre things some members of this fanbase fell for.

Here you have an FSU grad, who had zero business getting the job here, who got destroyed every time we played a big team as a DC, but bc of the stupid lame chain and videos of him on a yacht people just loved the dude.

He's a corny, nepo baby seminole who did a terrible job at our program, and who is coming to ruin our season tomorrow. **** Manny Diaz.

Mario's first years were the way they were bc he had to rebuild a completely destroyed brand. Ever see what Howard's first years looked like?

This wasn't a case of a guy coming into a good program and taking a while to make the next level; Mario literally had to resurrect a completely destroyed program and brand. None of the kids he was recruiting at that time were EVEN ALIVE when Miami had last won a conference title, let alone a Natty.

And secondly, there IS NO BIG NIL commitment without Mario. Big money donors had no interest, nor should they, in spending good money for a coach who was clearly only hired bc of some connections his daddy had with members of our BOT. We would be spending money like a middle of the road ACC team bc guys like the Mas brothers didn't believe in Manny. There is no hypothetical world in which Diaz gets NIL support.

I swear to god some of you "fans" liked the stupid *** chain more than making the natty last year, and it's beyond weird.

Two 6-6 football teams; UVA would fire its HC after the season.

During this win streak, our HOME DEFEAT against Michigan State had a larger margin of victory for MSU than any other FBS opponent. FCS team Youngstown State went 3-7 that year; and we only scored a field goal more than them; at home.
