Coach O is about 4-5 notches better than Manny Díaz. There is no phase of coaching (or personality) where Diaz trumps this man. Coach O gets it done
Kids respect coach O and kids love playing for him. Very few of our kids respect Diaz, because they get a sense he doesnt know what he’s doing, and because they know he’s soft.
Diaz was a video editor at ESPN and never played sports before. Meanwhile, Coach O is one of the best Dline coaches EVER and he’s one of the best recruiters to ever do it. He recruited at Miami under JJ and Erickson, AND he was the lead recruiter for Pete Carroll at USC; he recruited many of those monsters on that team. And he’s recruited a bunch of Ubermensches at LSU.
Finally, he coached under Jimmy Johnson AND Pete Carroll. He has 4 national championship rings as a coach at 3 different programs: Miami, USC (x2) and LSU.
Tell me again, how “Manny has a chance”because Coach O did it? Manny stinks and he isn’t elite at anything.
