Flake James hires the head coach within hours of the job opening without interviewing a single candidate other than Manny. Got it. Maybe Flake can take notes from Manny on how to conduct a coaching search since we're all convinced around here that Manny's got this.

I guess the take your time to find " the right guy " we've been hearing around here all week only applies to hiring coordinators not head coaches.

No relevance just funny, the ad underneath your post was “job candidates, click here” it was an ad to find a job haha 😆

Timing is everything...

1. It's been well documented that Manny's obligation to Temple dictated the urgency of his hire.

2. Manny said his staff will be in place by Thursday to coincide with the end of the dead period.

Also, criticizing the timing of Manny's hire belies the fact that you're happy with the result.

Seems like you just don't like Blake.

OP is right. Blake is a joke, but this falls on the BOT. I’m afraid they are making the calls. Manny is there just for show.

I don't like the way Flake rushed into the " National Search" and hired Manny without interviewing a single legitimate candidate. If you think Manny wouldn't have still taken this job had it been offered today instead of a week ago I have some ocean front property in Nebraska to sell you.

Manny is the one who went on national TV on Tuesday, and told ESPN Gameday he had his candidate but wouldn't announce it. II's pretty obvious Manny didn't have one. I'd love to be wrong so we'll all sit and wait an announcement.

Coordinators have been hired all over the counrty this week but we're Miami .... OU, OSU, Houston etc
 
I think Blake hired the best guy who would actually take the job as not many coaches with jobs would take Miami that could be top 20 level . Diaz could be a top 20 coach in a few years so I think they did the right thing but I do agree I am not a big fan of Blake James at all.

The OC announcement feels like we are waiting for the person to be available. I would guess the guys is in the championship game or the NFL.
Just a guess
 
There is not one correct way to hire a coach. Flake did what was necessary to hire the best possible candidate.

This would not be taking so long if not for the possibility that the new OC may be coaching Monday night.
 
Actually Blake waited from October 2015-Dec 2015 to hire a coach so...strap in!!
 
I think Manny will be a great hc he's gonna make a few mistakes .nobody is perfect it's whether Manny can adapt and adjust to make better decisions.one thing Manny does bring is that aggressive atitude to the table.he says the right things all good coaches do.it's going to take 1-2 seasons do readjust the teams attitude and character.I almost bet you'll see a better product on the field next season and by the time we play bama we could be close to being back if the fans don't go crazy if we only won 8-9 games this season and 10 games next season.
