Is that you OP?

Diaz is learning on the job and it shows. Can you look at this staff and say Diaz surrounded himself with the best coaches for Miami? No, you can't, so don't blame the players.

Its manny Diaz

Hey OP!
Let’s ask central Michigan for an even Steven roster swap? I’m sure enos and manny and baker can turn those players into a coastal winning team amiright??

You don't actually know what coaches do...do you?

I would love for you to explain how a FG kicker gets better at kicking FGs without coaching.
How do players get better at tackling without a coach?
How do players get better at catching without a coach?
How do players learn their assignments without a coach?

Can you please explain how UNC, GT and VT got these great players that never need coaches on their teams but we have none on ours? How is this possible?

The D is playing "soft" those are his recruits and his hand picked DC. I don't want to even start with the D coaches he kept after being around them for 3 yrs

You mean the same expectations Manny said HE had?

No, people like you are the real problem. You waste all this time and energy explaining and pandering when the issue can be articulated in a couple short sentences, and still come to the conclusion that the ultimate responsibility doesn't fall on the person directly in charge. Diaz arrogantly ran his mouth all offseason only to have it pushed back in his face with nothing but backtracking and blame shifting as a response. Best case scenario, he lacks awareness and is completely in over his head......................worst case scenario he's a politician and a liar who only gives a **** about himself (he's been in this program more than a day, he should have known exactly what he had from the jump). Players are a reflection of the coaching staff and he doesn't come close to getting the most out of them, very rarely do players get held accountable when they aren't performing to standard, and they clearly value their philosophies and schemes over the actual capabilities and strengths of their players without having the ability to translate progression of weaknesses on the field.

Unfortunately 7 games isn't enough to justify firing, even though the lack of a hiring process and results following fall in line with the ineptitude of those who make the decisions. Then again so does this stupid ******* narrative that 18-21 year olds are more culpable than the 44 year old making the decisions.

Simply put what would are record be right now if Saban or urban would be the coach. I would say our players albeit not as good as all the CIS brotherhood thinks would not be missing as many tackles and would not be making these careless errors. In other words they would be playing more to their potential.

I agree with alot of what you're saying, but the best coaches do 2 things well that make the biggest difference in the good teams and the bad teams, the 1st is they communicate well, the 2nd is, they get the players to 1st believe in what their teaching, and than once the players have some success those players move from believing to having full confidence that what they're being taught works, that automatically motivates the majority of the team. So when coach coach diaz became the d-co, the guys on defense who played under the penn disgrace moron regime, particularly on defense knew the old system was trash and wasnt motivated at all to be in it, in comes the attacking style 4-3 defense, all of a sudden we instantly started seeing glimpses of what a real UM defense is suppose to look like, the whole defense was motivated to not only be good, but to be the best in the nation. In comes blake baker, you can see the guys are not playing confident in whatever it is that he's doing, and right now, and all year the defense has looked stale and unconfident. The UVA game was the first game all year where guys looked and played motivated an confident, coach diaz got more involved, so somewhere there is obvious a disconnect between blake baker and the players.

Offensively, the players who were doing alot of talking and running their mouth this offseason about how much better this new offense was going to be and this and that, a few of them are not producing, particularly will "need to be redshirted mallory". The qb's are playing at a higher level in the intermediate game, but this offense takes to long to score and doesnt keep defenses off balance, and against conference teams, its just been a mediocre offense, nothing special. Point being, in order for the players to be motivated to be the best, they have to 1st be put in an environment where they know for sure that the many Greats that came thru UM, came thru the same path. This was the environment that players were consistently placed in from the 80's thru the 90's, than coach davis brought it back, people want to know why its been almost 20years of mediocrity, when skelator fired coach kehoe, soldinger, heargreaves and stoops left, those are cornerstone type UM coaches. Any runningback coming in that knows he's going to be coached by the same runningbacks coach that coached edgerrin james, james jackson, gore, mcgahee and portis, will instantly have confidence and play at his highest level because he's coming into a proven environment, no matter what they mindset was before they got here they start transforming into Greatness. So it was with coach kehoe, guys played hard for him, having the confidence of his resume. So i cant put it all on the players, i said it way back when those coaches got fired, we wont see real UM football for along time, that moron didnt just fire coaches that moron fired building blocks/stewards that helped to usher in Greatness.

So when the word "rebuild" keeps getting tossed around, to many people think that means recruiting and the current players, when in reality, the main rebuild and only rebuilding that needs to be done is with the coaching staff/football environment, the Championship minded players are still in Miami and Florida. This is why i kept telling people, coach richt knows what he is doing, he's an institutional type coach, he was creating and bringing back the actual championship environment that's been missing for far to long, and flake james went and phucked that up by trying to tell coach richt what he needs to be doing, and coach richt basically told flake james to "***** off". In comes coach diaz, than he bringing in coaches that really dont have no ties to UM, but he was smart enuff to keep coach rumph, and coach banda we can definitely roll with, but nobody's going to have confidence in blake james or patke and that's a big problem for the defense. Coach stroud is proven his worth with us being solid against the run, we not getting up field like we did under jess simpson but stroud is solid. The offensive coaching staff still has alot to prove, however i do see the receivers believe in what coach stubblefield is teaching and he has those guys playing hungry, the runningbacks coach seems to be up to par as well, but coach enos already, the play caller is suspect and the o-line coach is as well, that's a problem.

So coach diaz either didnt understand what luke was trying to tell em or just ignored him outright, but you not gone get UM football until you got coaches that understand the players they got and how to reach them, and that has been our biggest problem the last 15 or more odd years. Once the coaching staff gets rebuilt, this is why i could careless how old coach davis is, he knows how to put a staff together, this is coach idiaz first go round, he hasnt earned any head c oaching stripes yet, and he needs to understand that, which is why he needs to get his *** out the media and s top running his mouth so much and focus on what's mostly important, having a consistent championship environment.

The guys who played under diaz and are now under blake baker know the difference and they understand the dropoff, we'll see what happens!

OP is another one of these imbeciles who think 17 year old kids are finished NFL ready products and Miami has just had bad luck not getting the REAL 4 and 5 stars for 15 years.

Either that or he’s a classic “Get Out” style smile at the black guy but cross the street hecht employee that would gladly toss every kid on our team on the street if it meant saving his boss.

I have been concerned since talk about the "disease" still lingering on this team.
It's clearly not gone.

They seem soft, but who recruited them? Who hired the people that recruited them?

Everyone’s fault tbh. Just because people are getting on the coaches and deservedly so doesn’t mean the players don’t deserve some criticism either
