Manny Diaz

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?

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

I’m not sure how he gets blamed for the qb situation he inherited in 2019 but gets told he did well with other people’s players here and at Penn state. Are we still saying he continues what the great Mike elko was doing at Duke (elko went 4-4 his last season in acc manny is 15-7 with an acc title)?
 
he was coach for some really low points ... but the unc debacle hurts the most to be honest draws the most vitriol

The point went over your head. I lived in PA for many years and have a ton of PSU booster friends. Their D regressed with him. Same as when he was the D Coordinator here. Our first year D was great, thanks Coach Richt, then as he started recruiting his guys, well, I’m fairly certain UNC just scored again.
 
My take on Manny.

He is not nearly as bad as people say he is NOW. Simply put, he wasn’t ready for this step up. He should’ve gone to Temple and learned the ropes of being a HC.

Let’s face it, what he has done at Duke, if it was by anyone not named Manny Diaz, would be see as miraculous. He won the ACC last year and without his star QB and conference leading WR, he has quietly put together a very good season.

Not everyone can or does grow and he actually has - there’s no other explanation for it. And, if we’re being honest, many of us are a bit nervous for tomorrow’s game. He definitely needed to leave us when he did and was clearly not ready for this job at that time, but there is no question he’s learned how to be a good HC. Has he mastered recruiting? That remains to be seen, but he is coaching up the players he does have.

Hopefully, we crush him tomorrow- GO CANES!!!

Tate Martell was a distraction and cancer to this program. Manny whiffled on Hurts so had to settle with him. I highly doubt Williams and Perry would have survived another year if Richt didn't retire after 2018.

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.

Okay fine no excuses no preseason rankings. He was 12-5 in acc his last two years at Miami. 5 of his last 6. Al golden went 17-18 and Randy Shannon 16-16. I’m not saying he’s nick saban and you may not like the gas station pics but if it was a dumpster fire then what do you call the 20 years he wasn’t around?

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

The not so subtle dig at Richt w the 7-6 before going 6-7.

Manny was the guy that got canned by Mack Brown after getting skull f- by BYU.

Before Richt resurrected his career he was bouncing jobs every year

Perry was absolutely going to start with Richt but I guess we’ll never know for sure. I don’t think richt is getting hurts lol. He corrected it immediately getting lashlee and king

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.

His biggest failing here was that his defenses couldn’t maintain what they were as dc. But as DC 2018 was our best of his 3 defenses and 2016 was prob the worst (with aqm I still think that team could’ve been awesome)

How the **** do you know that? He was absolute dog**** after the FSU game in 2018.

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.

And “insiders” are saying he gets no respect (I tell ya) at Duke either. They just have less slappies to deal with.

I doubt that’s true.. my lil cuz played for manny and was drafted outta Duke. They loved him. No dog in the fight but he just wasn’t liked here and for good reason.

Why couldn't his defenses maintain what they were when he was a DC? He had full control of the program as a HC and his defenses got worse...what are we doing here
