The Moves Of A Desperate Man (Navarro 'The Atlantic' Article)

16-13 since the start of the 2019 season—2-5 in last seven games (wins coming against Central Connecticut State and a late field goal to top Appalachian State)—Manny Diaz is NOW "shaking things up", per Manny Navarro's blurb in The Atlantic:

Without citing names of a few older places on Miami's roster who are upset about having their playing time or role reduced, it's safe to say Manny Diaz is expecting some departures through the transfer portal in the week's ahead. "Last week was sort of the you're in or you're out week," Diaz said. "Going forward we can't have sad guys in the locker room. That energy just brings everybody down."

I mean where does one even begin with this spin job—getting ahead of the fact that players are disgruntled and leaving for a bevy of reasons—but trying to shape the narrative like he's drawing some line in the dirt and telling guys to get all in, or all out.

Have a hard time believing guys in the locker room are "sad". ****ed off, frustrated, disgruntled, jaded, etc.—but not "sad". Stop it.

The whole thing is ridiculous.

This is what I'm talking about - he's going to **** around, play the more talented underclassmen and win enough games to save his job.

Fire the ****** before that happens.

I could see Mark Pope being sad.. taking sad selfies in his weird outfits.. posting sad captions. Sad drops.

Some should have entered the portal after last season, but quite frankly they have nowhere to go. Those who have degrees or are planning to graduate in December are gone portal or no. Quite frankly if this forces a youth movement then so be it. The clown staff wouldn't do it.

Lisp and Slide was singing another tune this off-season. “They felt something special in last year’s team and they didn’t want to leave it,” said Diaz. “So let’s run this thing back, and let’s really show the world who we are.”

Sad that playing the best players, regardless of age or tenure, is a novel concept for Manny. Should be the policy from Day 1.

We could have some snitches on Twitter in the next few weeks...

 

[TemplarCane]

Going forward we can't have sad guys as the athletic director, head corch, or on the corching staff. That energy just brings everybody in the fan base down.

 

[Mnhurricane]

He could win 10 in a row from this point on and the fans wouldn’t let up on him. It’s over. Best to just cut the spin and get out of Miami. Will be nice to have the locker room cancers with guaranteed spots based on age gone though

At a sad gas station

I hope they turn the Turnover chain into the Transfer Chain, which includes Manny

Are you phuckin kidding me??? We're definitely showing the world who we are. What a phuckin tool

 

[No_Fly_Zone]

No sad energy in the locker room, huh? Maybe we should start by cutting ties with this sad sap...

 

[datcaneguy]

This is all bs. Come gametime Mallory will still be the starter, Flagg, Jenkins, and Steed still will get all reps. Hall will be all over the field missing tackles and blowing coverages. Harley dropping passes, Mccloud eating all the reps. There’s only three DT’s names I hear in the game Harrison-Hunte, Silvera, and Taylor. And the one that makes 2nd to the most plays sits behind Ford and literally without looking at the roster idk who the other guy is (that’s sad)

 

[Tempest]

Ok. Cool
Hook ‘Em!

 

[JHallCanes]

Talking about injures and shaking things up are just ways to attempt to buy him more time

When that doesn’t work….

 

[Unsider]

Manny is the overfried frenchfry at this point. You know what happens to fries like that at MickeyD's...

 

[TheWhiskeyMiser]

Can we get to the offseason already so we can start winning?
