So I transcribed some of the OBB interview and I now if this cat wants Applewhite here.. I am all in!
(OBB= Orange Bowl Boys)
OBB: Last time you were on you referred to the offense as archaic, Manny wants it to be "Modern and cutting edge". Dan Orlovsky if you were an advisor to Manny Diaz what type of system would you like him to run
Orlovsky: Players matter, and you have good players there. my first order of business is getting an OC who understands who Miami is. Here is the thing , there are schools who run a certain style because of the area they are at. For example Wisconsin. Wisconsin has to run that style of football that kind of pounds you, run game oriented, big bodies in the box, because they do not have super athletes around their recruiting grounds. Now when you look at it and are like we are Miami, and we are the breeding grounds big time athletes with speed, athleticism , quickness and agility, you have to feature that every single play. That we can go into our backyard and tap that. That we can have kids come into our backyard and say dude how fun is that to watch.
I was watching all the other bowl games and seeing the numbers they out up, and if I was a kid in South Florida and I'm watching the Miami game, but then I watch the Memphis gam, Im watching Houston or the Clemson game and I'm going dude those offenses are fun! So it has to be an offense that is going to appeal to athletes you are going to appeal to the kids out on the perimeter and yeah you are running 80 plays a game, that means that there are 80 chances for me to get the ball. if you are looking to get 5 or 6 great athletes yo u bevy up the numbers where each can get 7,8 or 9 touches a game. it would be a morphing of a Big 12 type offense for me where you are utilizing space, you are utilizing motion, you are manipulating the defenses eyes. Then also the aspect of physicality on offense. I find it that Bama, Clemson WVU does it great, that they can spread you out but also run, but its about your athletes man, you got to have the athletes
OBB: We always talk about not he podcast how we always thought CMR would be an exceptional CEO. Like the guy who oversees everything and delegates responsibilities to everyone else. It seems he had a chance to do that and decided to walk away. Does it surprise you?
Orlovsky: No it does not surprise me to be honest with you guys I give him a lot of credit for making that decision. Many times you see coaches hang on just because. I give him credit for realizing that wha tis best for me is to walk away, and maybe what's best for the school is for me to walk away. I agree I said it on the broadcast I think he is more equipped to be the principal than the teacher. I love the fact that the school acted quickly and went after Manny Diaz, I see it as an absolute brilliant hire, I am a huge fan of his and I love our time together when we talk. When we talked to coach Richt, you could hear it in his voice, we talked about the losing streak to him and he talked about how hard it was. You don't hear coaches come out and say that, he was like this thing weighed on us, usually you get coach talk, but the openness he had how difficult it was. Also he's a very smart guy. He also had to probably sit back and go I' m behind, we are behind the times right now and I can't change this. Offensively I can't change this, and Im taking an assumption there but I believe that was part of his thought process as well. As I look back on our time spent together I am not super surprised that he decided to walk away, a man rooted in his faith and family, I will be really interested because I believe that Miami is still a ticking time bomb, a gem of place to be. If you can go get an OC like I got my eye on Major Applewhite. Dude you watch that Houston offense and Receivers and Abs are going to be like yeah, that looks fun. So if you can somehow get Major Applewhite to go on board, but can get good fast. Now Obviously who is going to play QB?
OBB: Yeah Manny Diaz said they would look for a guy in the transfer market
Orlovsky: Yeah transferring I think would be a very good option, I don't trust Nkosi Perry, you know, I just don't
OBB: Okay ! We'll take that. neither did CMR because it was musical chairs situation.
Orlovsky: Its not fun but come on man grow up !
