OT: Mike Elko staying as DC for Texas A&M (Manny Diaz HC watch)

[DemCanesByke]

Manny is the frontrunner per Brett McMurphy

Meanwhile, Miami sits and waits as they get poached by Temple. A real program would have ended this mess already. Same way we let Golden hold us hostage every **** year while he was out shopping for another gig.

 

[Kevin]

Yeah he’s gone

 

[DemCanesByke]

Damnit man

Seriously is our program cursed?

 

[SonnyLong]

I am happy for Manny. If offered the job, he should take it. The last three coaches have benefited greatly from their tenure at Temple. All three are now at Power 5 schools. Temple is a great place for Manny to cut his teeth as a head coach. Hopefully he is ready when we fire Mark Richt.

 

[Kevin]

If he’s the top candidate that means he’s been offered the gig

 

[MiamiChris]

Who is even a a comparable replacement?

I’m not concerned about finding a replacement. We’ll get a good one. I’m more concerned about the damage him leaving will do to our recruiting class. It’s totally ****ed if he leaves no matter who we hire after signing day.

Exactly.

Look what TAMU has done with Elko: as his name popped up they shut down all the rumors.

What have we done?

We will lose our best coach during the worst possible period. I don't know how they will hold this recruiting class together.
**** me, It's pathetic.

 

[Geddy Lee]

Miami needs to counter and open up their ******* wallets

 

[loeTed92]

Money ain’t the issue guys. It maybe Diaz has issue with Richt and his offense. Go back and watch Diaz interviews!!

 

[mdpcane]

Money isn't an issue

i told you last night that a couple guys on the Inquirer were putting the odds on Diaz.

 

[MotoSniper]

we need to follow TAMU's lead and pay Manny...that's what this is all about. If Manny is the Manny we think he is, he has already sat down with MR and laid out his terms for staying, which should include: a raise, title of assistant HC to add to the resume, commitment from Richt to bring in a capable play caller, and a new expresso cart in the IPF for cafecitos and pasteles each morning.

 

[SonnyLong]

Money ain’t the issue guys. It maybe Diaz has issue with Richt and his offense. Go back and watch Diaz interviews!!

Exactly. Manny did everything in his power to not say, "those ****ers on offense are killing us."

 

[HawaiiAndTheOver]

What's up with you guys acting like Diaz is good? Didn't you see how the guys from Boston College totally bullied our defense?

 

[QuattroCane]

FML.

Only thing odd is I don't see Miami having a presser as mentioned to announce he's leaving. One can only hope.

 

[Golsen82]

True. It would potentially be sacrificing the short term for the long term. If Manny does get the Temple job, I hope he kills it over there.

If he chooses to go to temple I hope he does very well and would gladly welcome him back as HC one day. I do t blame him for wanting to be THE GUY for a football team

Actually, you should be concerned about the next guy, if Manny leaves. The problem is not finding a quality defensive coordinator. The problem is will Richt choose the right defensive coordinator. Mark Richt likes a coach that fits a certain profile. That is, married, religious and a mild-mannered yes man. This was a very tough year for Manny. His post-game comments were starting to stray further and further to the right. He was fed up with the offense.
