Could this be a budget thing? Maybe they don't have the money for a big time DC. Just trying to make sense of this bull****.

NOPE.

Do not under any circumstances whatsoever believe anything that even attempts to say that Miami couldn’t afford to bring in a DC or more talented coaches, that’s a weak cop out crutch that people love to use as an excuse to let Diaz off the hook for not making good hires.

Miami has money, yes even after the Pandemic we have enough to bring in good coaches on the staff, the reason why Diaz stuck with his guys is because they’re his guys & he didn’t want to go away from his Defense.

This is squarely on Diaz, not lack of resources, or even because some coaches allegedly didn’t wanna come here, any excuse made is 1,000% bullshìt.

We didn’t get a new DC because Diaz didn’t want one, he believes his Defense is not the problem & he doesn’t want to concede that the way his system is ran has major flaws in it.

I know there’s one prominent player who’s a big Rumph guy. This is 100% political. The dude is in the recruiting dept lol. Let me repeat “ he’s in the recruiting dept”. This is as comical as paying a dc 500 k + to chill on game days. Unreal.

I hear you but I maybe isn't anymore than finding film on HS kids and breaking it down and doing some Evals. I don't see him part of the actual recruiting process of these kids. Could be dead wrong though

To me this reeks of money.

We took a giant financial hit with Covid and that wasn’t the money to fire a $500,000 coach and bring in another one at $1-1.5 million.

From day one I said the school has plenty of money to pay top coaches. But I think this season is the exception.

That makes sense, but he should’ve fired him and took over himself. Baker shouldn’t be employed

oh well, since Manny decided to go this route...he may have just made the biggest mistake of his career holding Baker as a DC. I though he had some momentum, after the improvements he made last off season.

Heres to looking forward to next off-season.

Silver lining, if we see it, more influential people see this as well. And with that, Manny didn't really make the necessary moves that should've afforded him another year. From public perspective, Manny just pushed all of his chips on the table, and at the moment, Manny has a very low hand.
 
**** I just remembered, I didn't want DVD as my CB coach NOW. Later down the road yes but not now. Oh well. No point in complaining. The bed has been made. I still think we're in a better position than last yr so hey, let's rock!

This bothers me because I have to wonder if it's a systemic problem given that the kind of breakdown we had against UNC has happened to Manny before. We had some great games when Manny was handling the defense himself, but I can't get the memory of the disaster at Texas which cost Manny his job there. There might be something in Manny's philosophy and system which leads to such episodic disasters. I would have liked to see Manny hire somebody from the outside who subscribes to the basic philosophy of a pressure defense (which JJ firist introduced to the U, and college football in the mid-80's). Manny subscribes to that philosophy but in its implementation, it seems to have the possibility of a large breakdown in certain situations. It happened to Manny at Texas and Manny and Baker in the UNC game.

I would have preferred a more thorough overhaul. I just don't know if adding better position coaches, Jess and TRob, will cure it.

Wow.... he really is going to allow Baker to sit here and steal a paycheck every week. If you're not calling the defense you have no business maintaining the status as a DC. This makes absolutely no sense and shows all of CFB (if they didn't know already) that Manny is a beta that won't fire his guys even when they are BEGGING to be fired. Was hopeful that I was wrong about him with the Trob hiring, and I am pumped about Simpson coming back, but this confirms to me what kind of coach Manny is.

Ey, I respect it. I don't like it. But I can admire him for basically saying If I go down, it's gonna be on my own terms.

It's probably going to cost him his job and he only arrived here bc he was rebuffed by the guys he offered...

But I respect it.

I kind of feel the same way. It's not what I wanted but it's going to work or Manny's head coaching career will crash and burn. I have a feeling they couldn't get anybody worth hiring to sniff the job.
