We've all commended Manny for his honest and pragmatic assessments of the program and willingness to quickly move off things that aren't working. A little part of me holds out a ray of hope that's telling me Manny will continue with that mentality and recognize, after what he just witnessed today, that if he is to continue as HC here for a significant period of time he pretty much needs to become a CEO type leader, essentially just a mouthpiece, and depend wholly on bringing in talented outsiders to the program to succeed.
His system isn't developed, doesn't come from a recognized or respected coaching tree, and hasn't groomed talented underlings that are succeeding elsewhere. Manny's gotten this far mostly by the seat of his pants approach and doesn't really have the background to draw on to succeed as a big time P5 coach. So all this means that Manny's reached a breaking point already in his HC'ing career -- does he realize the above, fire everyone on defense and bring in someone he has no connection to who will run the defense, from hiring to personnel decisions, independent of Manny, or does he either stick with Baker, choose to run the defense himself, or choose some other variation of the bullshyt that would be him believing he can get himself out of the hole he's gotten himself into.
Here's advice from one truly dedicated Cane fan that yearns desperately to see Miami back on top again -- don't believe in yourself Manny. Put your future in the hands of others. It's the only option you have to succeed.
