Manny on Hurricane Hotline

Wonder if he thinks JT should stay. He's the type a guy that will leave no matter what his projection.

Some interesting messages sent by Manny on this week's Hurricane Hotline. From the Herald write up:

Two things that have been happening in recent years that are unacceptable to Manny Diaz;

1. Coaching of the quarterbacks and accountability in the quarterback room are dramatically better. Watching offensive coordinator Dan Enos work with these quarterbacks — and seeing the results — reflects just how much was lacking in that area under the previous regime.

“Dan Enos had a lot of jobs when he came here, but changing the culture in the quarterback room was top of the list in terms of how they study, how they watch film, how they prepare, how they do walk-throughs,” Diaz told WQAM’s Joe Zagacki and Don Bailey Jr. on Hurricane Hotline.
“We will be in a walk-through in a hotel ballroom and Dan will call a pass play and guys will run routes. [Jarren Williams] with his feet and eyes will go through his progressions, very robotically. You don’t have to do that. You’re in a hotel! He’s understanding, ‘My eyes go there.’ He’s also resetting his feet.

2. UM doesn’t want to be used as some transitional bridge between high school and the NFL. Manny and the staff obviously want NFL prospects on the team, but he also wants players who are not using their UM experience primarily as a stepping-stone. There were more than a half dozen Canes in recent years who turned pro early, only to be drafted very late or not at all.
“We had a run where Miami was being used a little bit by players [where they] do what you have to do and get out,” Diaz said on Hurricane Hotline. “And that’s left Miami in the spot it’s been, as opposed to it’s their job to get Miami back to where [it was]. Getting guys to understand that is [is paramount].


Really well done recap of what Manny said on the program.

Right now, what bothers me more than anything is that a guy who never should have even gotten another Power 5 DC job after his flop at Texas is now the Miami Hurricanes head coach.

How about this Manuela: don't have Miami lose to f[]cking HS teams like GT.

Fire this guy.

I was rightfully right with you after GT. And UNC. And VT

But we’ve looked good for a couple weeks.

If we struggle vs FIU, I’m crying fly the banner again.

But let’s just have fun for a little bit and assume we win out.

We’re still playing like garbage. As you would know if you watched our games without Canes glasses on.

TBH, I’m half expecting FIU to be a tougher game than people expect.

He is talking about guys that only intention was to do their 3 years and leave. Guys that didn't really care about the success the team.

Um that should be the goal of all of our players. To be good enough to get drafted after 3

I'm sure he's ok with DeeJay Dallas doing it (circumstance).. just not these lazy, entitled, overvalued divas that SoFla so often produces.

You not getting it. He is saying guys that are only concerned with going to the league and not caring about the team success.

So name someone on our team that even matches that description. This should not be a top priority right now. This might be a problem for teams that have that level of talent, but for us it’s really not something I’ve observed. Maybe Jeff Thomas? But he’s a head case more than anything. And players like Dallas, and Brevin have been great. The priority is coaching, if he thinks that some nonexistent problem is the source of our underachievement, then ****

Why do yall have such a hard time understanding this? He isn't talking about the team right now. He is saying in recent years guys would just do there 3 years and leave and that's why miami is in the spot it's in now. He is basically saying there hasn't been enough players who actually cared about getting the program back on top.

If you went by this board UM fans would be the dumbest in the world . Luckily I know a large portion of the people that flock to boards are trolls either in terms of intent or just plain stupidity and this is a prime example.

HE LITERALLY SAID THE SAME 2 THINGS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN *****ING ABOUT NONSTOP UNDER RICHT and yet someone posts drivel like this . LOL .

First step for JT is fully committing himself to the team and wanting to be the best he can be. Until then the only thing Diaz can do is keep recruiting guys like Harley and Dallas.

Okay, and he is incorrect. THAT is not the reason Miami is in the spot it is. It was not lack of caring by the players. It was bad coaching. Players aren’t going to half *** just for fun. And if he thinks the problem has been that players cared more about NFL, then he is delusional
