The administration needs to give manny the resources to hire the best staff available.

when Clemson decided they wanted to start competing with the big boys, they gave Dabo unlimited money to hire the best OC and DC he could find.

After 15 years of apathy, I'm hoping all of the vitriol and anger everyone in the AD and BOT heard from the fans, media, former players, etc. this past season is finally getting through.
 
I can't find a link to this interview. If one of you guys or gals have better luck finding it, would you mind posting it for the rest of us, that didn't have a chance to hear it live. Thanks.

Signed,

Peruche

It is a mystery. I've been thinking on some words to this effect for a few weeks now.

TBH...Blake isn't the problem per se IF the right coach can be found. Blake is 99% of what college campus industry types are: 150% non-confrontational betas. Not good, not bad, just are.

A reason Blake needs to go is his inability to get some savage "who do we hire to fix this" advice. He clearly became enamored of Manuela as the DC, and thought it would translate to HC role.

Back.to my first point, IF the right coach can be put into play, Blake is not the problem because he (like the rest) is to much of a herbivore who in his wdest dreams couldn't command a carnivore.

A Schnelly/JJ/Butch personality would mushroom stamp Blake anytime they wanted to. Blake is no meddling Jerry Jones type in this arena because he knows better (thank god).

SO, if by some miracle the hiring process for Manuela's replacement does select the saviour, Blake can keep shaking hands, kissing babies, and raising money while a true savage is rebuilding Miami's brand and on-field play.

Agree with everything you said except the bolded part. My take is that he fell for Manny's "hire me now or I'm getting on the plane and never coming back" sales job. Which, admittedly, is equally bad.

Good point. And if/likely/maybe that is true, it further reinforces Blake as a beta.

I guarantee a Paul Dee/Gene Smith/Joe Moglia type would not have buckled to that. Alphas evaluate other alphas and always know that when "cornered" by a "do this right now or I walk", their instinct would be, "good luck at Temple, there are dozens of savages out there and we will find the right one."
 
It is easy to say go to the spread a year ago. Manny is an old school Cane head like most of us. We laughed at the spread for years cause Miami played pro style better than anyone in country when we had the beasts to do it.

I am not a Manny apologist, dude needs to get this right or he will be DCing at a small school somewhere else. I do believe he cares and wants Miami to be great, not just a paycheck. He has had some hellish defenses and Enos gave him fits. Easy to see why he would think that would work here. It failed miserably. Now Manny realizes that we dont have the dawgs, SoFla uses more spread concepts in high school then anywhere in the country. Recognize mistakes and adapt. He seems to be doing that better than any coach we had in past 15 years. Golden would not fire D'nonfrio. Richt would not fire Lil Richt, Shannon fumbled a ton of hirings. At least he saw an issue and will attempt to fix.

...the how is how are they doing it. And that’s the culture. I do think we laid down a good culture, the guys competed. Every article said will the guys even show up in the bowl game. The guys competed as if the game meant everything to them. So there’s something there.

“Right now the whole focus is on getting the right offensive coordinator,” Diaz said. “I’ve already spoken to seven or eight guys both at the college and pro level. I’m trying to find the guy with the right style of offense, we’re going to have a dramatic change in the style of offense. We’re going to get the tempo sped up, get the ball spread out to people in space. We’re trying to get the right guy, once we secure that guy we do have good coaches on staff and we’ll see the proper fit going forward.”

So Diaz wants a spread offense?

“Spread is an ambiguous word, there are all different kinds,” he said. “But there is no doubt there is a style of play in college football that is dominant at the top of the top 25 charts. So yes.”

Did Mandy just realize that spread offense dokinate top 25 statistical catagories?

One of the red flags from his interview (if what was posted on this thread is true): that the culture is “fixed” merely because guys “competed.” I think he is still only meaning the defense (which still has warts but looks like a juggernaut compared to the offense). If simply trying hard is the standard, then winning will never be.

Agree. He was only talking about the defense. I didn't watch the game but in looking at some of the posts on this site, the offense never left South Florida.
