Blessings to you all with maybe the 50th new thread on the state of the program.
As 2018 spiraled down the toilet, some fans were going on and on that Manny should replace Mark Richt after the season, no doubt the same guys that want a former player filling every assistant coaching spot... "Put Ed Reed at DC!!! Bring back McKinnie to coach OL!!!" Fact is a lot of our fan base is retarded.
We were told by Blake James after he hired Manny, that "this isnt a rebuild" only for a 6-7 season to go by with Manny telling us "this is a rebuild," so now Manny is in charge of the thing he wasnt hired to do. But here's the thing... Miami isnt serious about football and they havent been for a long time, this is how Manny gets the job in the 1st place, it was the laziest possible hire. If I had to guess, everyone in the Athletic Department can quote you what Dabo did in his first few seasons before things took off because this is their blueprint now after last season's abomination.
Can Manny be Dabo? The only way this is possible is if Manny keeps challenging himself to get better. He was never ready for this job, and now we all get to go through watching his OJT.
Its hard for me to get upset about losing this game to UNC because this is par for the course with HCs that arent qualified. Its gonna take years before a Diaz staff can even sniff playoffs... years. The best thing he can do is win enough to tread water while he learns to recruit (something he's never been an ace at), develop (something he's never done at a high level), scheme (mixed bag, he's had some successes and some failures) and ultimately run a top notch program.
Outside of Rumph, I think there's 0% chance anyone is getting fired before ESD. Its also very unlikely we see more than Rumph leave unless someone hires a Banda or Stroud for perceived SoFL recruiting ties or some coaches decide to abandon ship.
Get ready for more Sun Tan U next year. anything at 8 wins or better and Manny will get a 4th year too. Miami has a deeply flawed football culture, and its not gonna improve because of pressure from the Ath. Dept. Nope, this will all be on Manny to figure it out, until he hangs himself with the rope he's given.
