Mario's recruiting gave you hope that things could get better

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
 
Manny did well (great if you include his time at dc) and he’s doing a **** of a job now. That being said, he’s the enemy tomorrow so **** em we roll

What would Mario’s records be without NIL?

Mario always recruited well, he would be fine in a non NIL landscape.

But even if that were not the case, Mario is the one responsible for raising a lot of these NIL dollars. When people say Manny Diaz would have better results if he had the same funding... Thats like me saying I would be as sucesfull in the business world if I only had so and so's connections. Well yeah, no ****. Part of what your paying for with that guys is his connections. Part of what your paying for with Mario is his ability to rally funds.
 
I think he’d admit he wasn’t ready to be a coach at that time. He didn’t have CEO mindset that focused on culture and process, but more of a mindset of a position coach with quick bursts of energy but no disciple to maintain momentum.

I don’t know any specifics on what he’s like now, but it seems like he more controlled and more intentional about roster construction.

That said, we got the upgrade we needed with Mario.
 
-Lost to FIU, La Tech, barely beat Central Mich and App State
-2500 yards on the ground given up to UNC in 2020
-Clemson 2020, Bama 2021 buttfukings
-Let Jeff Thomas back on the team before 2019. I love Jeff but that was a dumb decision.
-Tate Martell, N'Kosi Perry, Jarren Williams debacle at QB
-Jalar Holly dancing on the sidelines when losing
-Had some of the worst players to ever play here. Looking at you Gurvan Hall, Mark Pope and Amari Carter.
-Slip N Slide after barely beating a ****** Virginia team in 2020
-The turnover chain embarrassment against Bama that got reversed so it made this entire program look more of a joke
-Mack Brown absolutely owning his bi*ch ***

Anything else?

Where do I begin

We lost to fiu
We got shut out by latech
We let unc run for 500 on us
Slip and slide
App state does this to people
No upward trajectory in record/team
Defense slipped every year it seemed

I know I’m missing something

What am I miising here? Why do so many people hate Manny...i actually thought he did a pretty **** good job considering what he had. He doesnt lose that FSU game, its a pretty solid year. Hes proving to be a pretty solid head coach without the NIL deals...I mean ****, there are some here that believe Duke can win tomorrow despite us taking their QB and best WR. I dont know...I think people get too wrapped up in hating coaches that get fired...I never hated the prior coaches, even though I thought their time had come to an end here. I always wished them well...its not like they came in and lost on purpose.

Well my phones battery life won’t allow me to rant for 100 paragraphs on Tranny Maiz. I’ll keep it short. He was not qualified. He got the job because of his Daddy’s political ties to the Commie Midget. And the rest is history.
 
I don't hate Manny but we never would've been more than mid w/ him as HC here. And he never would've generated the financial backing that Mario did. Not even close.

What exactly did he do well in?

We were a disaster at the end of 2018. Losing a lot of guys from a mediocre team. 2020 we go 8-2 against an all conference schedule (10 win team if covid wasn’t weird and one of those was having to play @#1 Clemson). Would’ve been our second acc chip appearance (first one due to his defense) ever if nd wasn’t in conference that year (covid). This was without one of best players in America (Rousseau) because of COVID. Next year derailed early with king injury and tough schedule but ends up with the most freshman snaps in America winning 5 of last 6 including two ranked wins with one being a road top 10 win. Gotta be the first coach ever to finish conference play 5-1 with most freshman snaps in America. It’s why we were ranked top 15 next preseason that team returned a ton of talent (smu won conference with just some of it) and had Stevenson coming in. We fired him because we had a chance at Mario and Mario has been excellent and Manny is doing great now so it’s a win win. I don’t get why people feel the need to bash one to bolster the other. The best two pre Mario seasons of my teenage plus life I attribute to manny (2017/2020) so I wish him well except for tomorrow.

Manny said he had three OCs in mind at his intro presser and they were so great that the fourth option 'would be amazing'.

We got Dan Enos.


Manny always came across as a politician head coach. A bull****ter.

But, he's done a good job post-Miami at Penn St and Duke. Not hating on him currently but during his time at Miami, meh.

You better believe he'll have his team ready tomorrow to not only take down Miami but also his former QB/WR.

Let’s be honest, he did well with other people’s players at PSU

Program was a dumpster fire with him at the helm. Using pre-season rankings as an argument...that's something. All I see are justifications for his negligence. Recruited like **** too.

You also mentioned 2017, Richt was the head coach not Manny.
