If he’s have left Baxa in and he kept shanking every kick would you have said it’s ok Manny needs to let him work through it?

If he kept shanking them, making a change is an option. However, when the guys behind him are not very good themselves, I think it's a better idea to help the guy get his head on straight. He was what, 9 of 12 last year? He can also hit from 50. He's worth the effort, in my opinion. He's not a talentless scrub, just a kicker in a slump.

Per the original post of Miami's record, points for, and points allowed someone brought up the point that this year is an outlier in that we had Florida and not a creampuff on the OOC schedule. For this look, I sought to remove the "cream puff" factor from the first eight games. So here, we take out the highest scoring game from each of the last 25 seasons, over the first eight games:

Doing this makes the numbers even worse. Miami's 2019 offense is the second worst in 25 years, exceeded only by the final Larry Coker squad that featured converted cornerbacks and punters at wide receiver in order for the Canes to avoid having to field a triple option offense.

Confused about your methodology here. Removing the "Cream puff" factor would be removing the Florida game, and removing a high scoring game in those other years. The way you did it, you removed our only high scoring game. In other years, we'd have a 2nd high scoring game to inflate the numbers. So of course you method makes it look worse.
 
It is not only kicking......the holes and ineffective play of the OL has cost us games if we cannot put up points on the board to HELP the kicking game.
When we have to depend on the kicking game to win games, we have a major problem in the first place...

I removed the highest scoring game from each year. So Bethune Colman this year. Savannah State in other years. Or FaMU.

Even with the flaws of Manny's defense if we could average 30 points per game we most likely win 10 plus games every year.

Diaz is ON RECORD, that TWENTY-FIVE/TWENTY-FOUR points are enough to win a game. Wow. He mentioned this after the disheartening Carolina Blue lost. Yes siree. Little Havana's OWN, Diaz, did say 25 points is enough to win a conference ball game. Ouch.

It’s like Coker’s last year. Our defense was till strong, but our offense was anemic. With even mediocre production, that 2006 team could have had 9 or 10 wins as opposed to 7.

Well, he didn’t even need 25 to win conference games vs UVA and Pitt and could’ve won another with less than 25 vs GT if one of those field goals goes through in regulation.

But it’s still dumb to think 25 points is enough, as the Va Tech and UNC games demonstrated.

The guy behind him was suspended for 2 games.
