Meh. The problem isn’t that former players have an opinion, the problem is those player’s opinion is a negative one of the program. Don’t want me to dance then don’t let me score a TD. Don’t want me to talk **** about our ****** program then don’t give me a reason to. Weak sauce.

I get why he would be frustrated. I also get why the older letterwinners would be upset. That said, our older letterwinners are part of the problem, just like Pinckney's coach is part of the problem. For far too long, we've let these guys, most of whom are in the 50s infect the program with their "Miami Guy Bro" nonsense.

This program has needed a full housecleaning for decades, because college football has changed and a lot of people in and around the program have refused to. We can appreciate what these men have done, but it's time for them to have a seat and unless they are bringing legitimate solutions besides "Hire our old teammate Mario", then I don't want to hear a **** thing.

Shaq was always out of shape, and dominate the NBA. Some people are are that talented. Don't knock the man for it. He balled when he was here. Everyone doesn't have that workout warrior in them. He was in football shape, that's all that matters.

Don’t compare him to Shaq lol buddy’s playin in saskatchewan right now. He didn’t ball he played fine.
That’s the state of the Miami LB core rn a kid that went undrafted and is playing in Canada with little chance of making an NFL active roster is who we consider a baller these days…
And that’s from someone who would love to have Shaq and Pinckney as our starters at Lb rn.

Good luck with that take. I find it difficult to tell someone who has busted their *** and put in blood, sweat and tears into this program to keep quiet. Many have earned that right. We are talking about Football for Christ sakes. It’s not that serious.

How about this?! Win! Then everyone will praise you and you wouldn’t have a problem with people voicing their opinions..

They busted their asses, but a lot of them haven't had an original idea in 20 years either. That's the problem. They are your old uncle, telling you about the glory days, while the world changes around them. Keep in mind, it was a lot of our old letterwinners that wouldn't shut up about the pro style O, when the spread was taking over. It was the letterwinners that wouldn't let go of the fact that the Cover 2 4-3 is obsolete and flexibility is key in today's game.

They are free to talk, but I'm tired of our athletic department taking pointers from them. That's why I can't wait for this school to hire a competent AD, because they will tell these guys what they should have been told years ago: We love you, we appreciate you, but you aren't running a **** thing.

You really think the university is actually listening and following the advice of any former players? If they did, Díaz wouldn’t be here, and our program would probably not be in this situation it’s in. @Poopscoop would know better than I do. Former players aren’t the problem.

I think that the lazy *** people around the program play to the older letterwinners, hence why Randy Shannon was hired, hence why an obviously over the hill Mark Richt was hired, hence why guys like Schiano and Butch continue to be candidates, even though they wouldn't be candidates for any major job in the country.

It's easy to sell crap like that, by playing the "Miami Bro" card, although most of us know it's crap. That said, the letterwinners that are highly intelligent and well traveled don't buy this crap and those are the ones that are ignored(Alonzo Highsmith is chief among them).

Question; if he “balled” here, y wasn’t he drafted? That’s not shade, but the fact is Pinck had the highest ceiling out of the trio, and imo, he didn’t dedicate himself to hitting that ceiling vs relying on God given abilities. I definitely wouldn’t classify him as a baller here as opposed to a good player that “could’ve” been great.

All these kids with the “be nice to me” mentality are part of the problem of culture. Alabama it’s a business. Produce or get passed by and certainly the coaches will let you know. They want the fake fame and the fake swag. Do not care what they think especially as a die hard fan

You realize that former players haven’t been allowed since Richt left, right?

Which means they manny diaz has the same loser mentality you do. Hey! You’re both letterwinners…. of the same Letter!

He's been gone two years, ha has a relationship with many of the players still on the team.
It would be weird if he took the opposite stand.
