He is a great guy. I was lucky enough to have the “job” of picking him up from the airport for a coaches clinic and being his host. He was at Boise at the time. Very low key, down to earth guy.Personally I would be ecstatic with the hire and so would others. Almost mid conversation I was sent this link on him. Seems like a fantastic guy and coach but just isn’t going to happen.

This has the potential to be an epic Sileo meets DBC meets Vette meets Ariz classic….I am getting a Dan Sileo Jr feel itt.

Agree to an extent. I mentioned previously that we’d all take the job. My issue with Manny is he had the option, and realistically the marching orders, that would have put him in a much better place to succeed. Immaturity, arrogance, and paranoia landed him where he’s at today. For any former military or paramilitary members out there I will say his and BJ’s method of communication and work processes would be like skipping your entire chain of command and discarding those around you who should and ultimately do have a say. There’s little to zero roundtable done and they’ve sought comfort in each other and a few others. They are truly on their own very small island they’ve built.But that shouldn’t be on Manny. He had no experience or business being a first time HC, the same way someone like Chud has no business being a first time HC here in terms of college.
This is all of the fault of the BOT/admin. They paid the Manny $4 million buyout. They hired Shannon, Golden, Manny. It’s been the same game going back to Coker.
So they need to change the game plan. Otherwise, it’s just going to be the same result.
So start being the football program that should’ve been from the jump and make the investment money. To make money, you have to spend the money. It will flow in 50x over if this program can become successful and it doesn’t have to be right away.
It can be 8-4 next year and continue to improve from there.
and they don't care about outside perceptions at all, which is why they grabbed freeze and mccaw after major scandals ousted both of them from their previous gigs.I am not disagreeing with you at all, just pointing out that Liberty has/had a lot of egg on their face.

From what Ferman said in one of his podcasts it was manny who said no to Zo and not Blake.
Zo as in why he never materialized was 100% a product of what I’ve mentioned. I’ve heard rebuttals to this and questions as it relates to ER as well. Like anything else they are both their own people and have very different backgrounds. Respectfully my opinion is AH, if the role were actually functional and carried juice from a structure standpoint, would be the far more qualified candidate. That’s zero disrespect to ER. Manny ultimately stomped his feet in regards to AH which tells me AH was the man for the job. My understanding is AH could see through the smoke as well on his end. The position in its current form is the “window dressing” I referenced in an earlier post.
Feckless BJ clipped his sail to Manny a long time ago. Manny calls the shots in the relationship. The assurance and alteration from the original design and vagueness of the job promoted BJ to keeping the option open.From what Ferman said in one of his podcasts it was manny who said no to Zo and not Blake.
Yesssss! I 100% agree with this. You can see it with certain position groups in the defense.Agree to an extent. I mentioned previously that we’d all take the job.

Do you think AH is back on the table - listened to that OBB podcast and it seemed like a veiled interview for a position of that type. I know Mario offered him a position at Oregon last year so wonder if we made it a reality if it would help in bringing MC home.Zo as in why he never materialized was 100% a product of what I’ve mentioned.

No. We reached out and he was never really interested.
Highsmith is a **** good candidate. Like you said, anyone that would threaten Manny was dismissed as an option.Zo as in why he never materialized was 100% a product of what I’ve mentioned.

Any traction on AH hoping on board this go around?Zo as in why he never materialized was 100% a product of what I’ve mentioned. I’ve heard rebuttals to this and questions as it relates to ER as well.

Yes he had a sick child and the proximity to his treatment was his biggest priority.I read somewhere that one of his main decision points is that he had a child who needed a lot of care and he felt it wasn't the right move to make at that time. Maybe he feels different now. I think I brought his name up here a month or so ago as someone who we should reach out just in case he is interested in getting back into coaching. He was getting pushed out at UW, their fans looked at him the way Oregon fans are looking at Mario - a guy who is a good enough coach that he can win big games but also inexplicably loses too many easy games.
Yea the special needs kid was a factor but he was never really interested regardless.I read somewhere that one of his main decision points is that he had a child who needed a lot of care and he felt it wasn't the right move to make at that time.
