That’s fair. But you have to count the Attrition. Which if I remember correctly was fairly high under MR for whatever reason. On the defensive side of the ball that should fall on tge DC who was Diaz. But we don’t know who had final say when it came to personnel . We should assume it was manny.
I didn’t see the game day segment on Miami. But from what manny actually had to say today, I honestly don’t have a problem with what he had to say. As far as stadium attendance and location we’ve always had that as a “issue”. From what I’ve gathered the Game day crew was mostly Hinting at Miami spendingon a HC
But for manny The problem is this, are we on the path to doing what he said. For example, recruiting. This cycle is not close to over. But as far as “stacking classes” we aren’t there in this cycle.
At the end of the day, yes recruits care about facilities and support staff etc. But you have to give them a reason to come. That means results on the field. And as of now he hasn’t had the results. They aren’t gunna wait around. By they I mean fans/media/even the administration.
The szn is not over..but I’ll tell you this, Diaz better have built some equity in that locker room. Because that press conference he’s talking about recruiting etc etc could open a can of BS you don’t won’t going into ACC. Even if I don’t disagree with what he was saying big picture wise, this wasn’t the time for that imo
My opinion this keeps it forefront in the news longer. Manny did himself no favors. Reacting without thinking it through can be dangerous
If you don't think those other qualities are incredibly important in running a national college football program, and harder to find than Xs and Os, then I think you need more perspective. You need all of them. But "coaching" is the one where you delegate the most.
Like I said, the timing of the points he harped on didn’t make sense. Unless it was just a direct response to what CGD had to say Saturday. Witch again, no reason for him to elaborate on it in a opening statement at this time. But we’ve seen great coaches decide to clap back at outside noise before. This was no difference Imo.
Right!!! I had to read that part again.
I’d say randy Shannon tried that…but I think that’s a interesting point your making. But I’ll say this and if might come off as soft, but the team has/does play hard under his direction Imo. Even the 2019 debacle. So idk if it’s a respect thing…you could blatantly see disrespect towards Dno under Golden. U saw guys literally Quit. Under Shannon you saw guys just not playing..we haven’t quite reached that point under Diaz yet Imo. Too me that means they believe in the program..now rather or not that’s blind belief? Who knows…side question: does anyone know who the Alabama AD is? Does anyone know Clemsons? Or OSU?..or do those programs operate at a self sufficient level? If you ask me Dabo, Saban **** even Day answer to nobody up top. The only time they probably speak to them is if there’s a problem..and tbh that’s the way it should be. If the AD is noticeable or heard from that means someone’s about to get fired..hence USC LOL
That's not so wrong btw. Frenk and the people from Duke on the ACC "covid" committee are the ones that convinced the University presidents that football could be played. Frenk, in particular, was important due to his expertise in infectious disease. It really came into play in late August/early september when things started to get crazy again. If the ACC didn't play, likely the Big 12 didn't either.
