Who are you and why are you here?

I'm Mark Richt

Like the last 3 HC to come out of there? The last 3 coaches all got P5 jobs.

Boooooooo that was brutal

 

[rok]

I could see him taking the job if he aspires to coach in the NFL one day. He's proven plenty as a college DC.

It's not 1995. We're 41-24 in the last 5 years with two CCG appearances, and next year looks like a 10+ win team. He could not be in a better situation.

But there is also this - it's been pretty quiet

I think Temple would take Schiano over Diaz right now.

Money isn't an issue

Then why did Elko turn it down? He got a raise and stayed at the more prestigious job.

 

[Kevin]

Just want this to be announced already.

 

[Cuban-Cane]

Its not a 2 man race

Manny has no connections in that are whatsoever. He already is not a very good recruiter. Its a setup for failure. If you go there and fail you might be forgotten forever.

+1 I want the suspense gone as well.

 

[Alex Del Piero]

So why Miami hasn't announced that Manny will return?

 

[hoops156]

still believe miami wouldn't have diaz on the trail last night doing in homes if he had accepted the job or was still in the running. it would be a horrible look for all parties involved.

I thought that too, but they didn't clarify his position as TAMU just did

It’s a solid stepping off job for a lot of the guys on the list who have ties to NE. I don’t think saying it’s a bad idea for Diaz is wrong at same time. He is a SE guy.

Temple would be a great job for Don Brown
Something like LaTech would be a great job for Manny Diaz. Maybe even ECU.

The temple board (along with some Miami posters from 24/7) think that Manny might have turned down or removed his name from consideration. Of course this is a rumor but if indeed true, this is the best news I've had all day.

We should have an announcement soon. It's been reported that Temple has shut things down and has enough candidates to move forward with in making their decision.

They also thought that Elko was the name. Clearly, they aren't plugged.

Makes the most sense... If his defense repeats its performance from this past year, he'll be in line for a legit Power 5 coaching job... several tiers above that of Temple
