The BOT pegged Diaz long before Richtirement

[TheOldU2002]

The chain. The average 20th ranked defense. His last name. His twitter game. That was enough for our esteemed Board to fall deeply in love.

This BOT, egged on by a bunch of Daddy’s biggest supporters, had clearly determined long before Richtirement day that whenever Richt left, Diaz would be the guy.

In their minds, and the minds of many football illiterate “fans”, he was a perfect slam dunk hire bc of these criteria:

“cultural fit” — this mildly racist opinion holds zero water given our three best coaches were white dudes from the sticks.

“he fixed our defense” — his defenses ranked in the 20s here, and for his career in the 30s. There were at minimum 20 better performing DCs if we wanted to go the assistant route.

“the chain” — do i even need to explain why this isnt a qualification for Head Coach at a major university?

Yes, blake needs to go, as does the ENTIRE athletic department down to the secretaries. But the deeper issue is a BOT that is completely and utterly hopeless.

based on what evidence do you make this claim?

So you really think Blake James just acted completely on his own? You think he was authorized to spend over ten million dollars without having the Board’s consent? Of COURSE the board made the decision, and it was made long before richt retired. Whenever richt was finished it would go to Diaz. it is painfully obvious.

If this was true Manny would not have gone to Temple to begin with take your conspiracy theory garbage somewhere else.

You are a troll account.

When you answer a question with a question and then say "it was painfully obvious", you clearly have no evidence for whatever claim you made.

Poor assessment. Rumblings that BOT is already looking into buyout options.

Manny didnt know Richt was retiring when he took the job, nor was he named HCIW. Why wouldnt he go take a HC gig? The moment richt retired he was going to be offerred.

🗣HE'S NOT EVEN A GREAT DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR

lmfao. yea im sure they are. half the BOT are donors to Daddy Diaz.

 

[TheOldU2002]

So much egg on the face of fans who spewed the exact garbage that got this guy hired, rocking their replica chains like a bunch of highschool girls.

 

[tcgrad1014]

The ACC is going to be pegging Manny every week for the rest of the season.

The BOT can Peg CaneinOrlando's Johnson...

Where are you hearing this from? One BOT was on twitter in support of Diaz.

I'm hearing this as well brother . That they already reached out to two people to see if there is any interest IDK if it will happen though. Where there is smoke it may be fire!

They would have went the Jimbo route and made him head coach in waiting.

It's sad - the BOT/AD has shown they are incapable of making a good hire and instead, victim to slick, fast talking used car salesmen. Just look at the last 3 awful hires (Diaf, Alf, Rantard). These guys managed to talk themselves into a job and fooling the admin with a binder or no nonsense policies, etc. BOD/AD eats that stuff up.

 

[TheOldU2002]

Coker Shannon and Fat Al were all pre-Blake.

Its the BOT. They have no clue.

Manny went to Temple BEFORE Richt "retired". He went there knowing full well if he did well he would be back the second Richt left. He wasn't expecting Richt to retire. At least not retire so soon.

I'm no insider, but closest guy I know to the program said Blake is indeed in trouble. The rebuild comment did not go over very well apparently.
