The Draft has shown

Manny needs to start reinforcing building a team and not just a minor league CHEAP/LATE round U

Pickney and garvin will get drafted after lesser talented guys because they don’t go hard every play. Nfl hates that. Someone will takE a shot on shaq because he has heart. Deejay is underrated imo. JT is a head case.
bandy should have never left, we all know that.

Exactly. We are paid to be their Washington Generals. Ever wonder why we never cause a stink over all the bad officiating we've seen?

Bad officiating was one of the reasons we left the Big East. A big reason, including in basketball. Never publicly discussed, but I heard it second hand from a reliable source who got it from Paul Dee.

Well, it's been far worse in the ACC and we haven't given two craps about it, or given any thoughts to leaving.

Kinda hard to blame officiating for the trash our program has been.

Oh no doubt about that. That's kind of my point, really. We don't care about winning, but rather just cashing those ACC checks. We might suck, but we still get screwed whenever anything is on the line. We are made for TV football, not made for winning football.

Yes I blame joining the ACC because no matter what the bar is set low. Even if we dominated our division which we haven’t we would still not be elite in the NCAA.

Every time I seen our coaches make the teams in the costal big games I shook my head. We’ve made nationally weak teams year in and year out appear to be world beaters. If you keep saying things enough folk will believe it. Our coaches are not trying to catch Alabama or LSU our coaches are trying to catch VTech, Virginia, and UNC. Sad state of affairs for this once mighty program. Top teams around the country view anyone not named Clemson or FSU a cupcake game. That’s including us. And IF FSU keep going the way they’re going they will be like the pack. Sad but true!

Manny's defense was absolutely humiliated by the Big 12. If he's our coach, I want no part of that conference, real talk.

Actually it’s the opposite , his d is built for those offenses. It’s the Wisconsin’s and power football of the world that gives him issues. Our shooting gaps and undisciplined scheme is exposed
 
This draft has shown one thing and one thing only.

A player with NFL level ability who gives 100% effort in practice and on the field and are locker room leaders EVERY SINGLE DAY (Shaq, DJ and Osborn) get drafted and usually have good NFL careers. Guys who don't (Garvin, Thomas and to a certain extent Bandy) don't get either.

End of story.

2011: 22.2/ppg (34th) / 306.1/ypg (11th) / 17.7 1st down/g (27th) / 2.0 T.O/g (36th)

2012: 29.2/ppg (75th) / 404.2/ypg (69th) / 20.6 1st down/g (54th) / 1.6 T.O/g (78th)

2013: 25.8/ppg (56th) / 407.2/ypg (69th) / 21.2 1st down/g (66th) / 2.0 T.O/g (34th)

Fired after 2013

So it appears Manny’s defense started off hot, then it became smoke and mirrors, even against teams that were finesse. The same problem seem to appear that it was boom or bust, that didn’t allow his team to get off the field.
