Still want to play Bama in a bowl game?

That thread was hilarious, and a perfect example of the group think that let's this board play it full ******.

Same ones screaming "Fire Diaz" after Virginia Tech were the same ones back on the "We can still win the Coastal!" after beating Virginia.

Only to go back to "Fire everybody!" after the Georgia Tech loss ... but still doing Coastal math after a narrow escape at Pittsburgh, with weekly calendar updates of everything that needed to happen to pull it off.

From there, overhyping Enos and Williams after beating a trash-can Florida State squad (while wanting Enos fired at least 3-4 times in the season prior-to, while trashing Williams and clamoring for Perry or Martell).

Next up, laughable Orange Bowl chatter and wanting a "crack at Bama" after the offense hung 52 on Louisville; the Tide w/o Tua and obviously not being "up" for the game, giving Miami a chance.

Now after FIU and a third post-bye week no-show / play down to the level of competition disaster that everyone should be used to by now—it's "fire everybody" again; as if a blank check will lure Urban Meyer and all problems will be solved.

Of course, this was all after "12-01" pre-season talk, based on some springtime marketing hype and aggressive tweeting.

Setting up false expectations, getting knocked down and then upset without realizing they did it to themselves. What was Einstein's definition of insanity; doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results? This program has been sub-par and middle-of-the-ACC-road since 2005—but THIS was the year, under a first-year, first-time head coach that it was all gonna turn around? C'mon now.

It's year one under this program's fifth head coach in 14 years—taking over a 7-9 dating back to 2017 Pitt and that fugazi of a 10-0 start and 97-71 from the LSU bowl stomping (2005) to the Wisky ***-kicking (2018).

Diaz had a few good moments this year, but they were drowned out by some disasters—none bigger than this past weekend.

All that to say, anyone who got over-invested in this season or bought the hype—based on where this program had been for the past 15 years—that **** is on you.

Manny painted himself into a serious corner and better find a way to win out, for a less disastrous 8-5 run—before going into his first off-season and making some staff changes, as many on this current crew ain't gonna cut it.

If not, his sealed his own fate and he'll be gone faster than he arrived—as 2020 will be a similar train wreck.
