We are coming off a historically awful season with losses to FIU, Duke, Georgia Tech and a shutout to Louisiana f*cking Tech.

Not even 30 days later and Manny:

- Has our signing class on the cusp of finishing in the Top 15
- Convinced one of the top young OC’s in America to leave a pretty cushy gig at SMU for our trainwreck of a QB room
- Landed the most dynamic QB in the portal (and perhaps America), who will likely begin the season top 5-7 in Heisman odds
- Got the AAC Defensive Player of the Year to transfer

Who ever said Manny was bad at recruiting?

People have complained about his coaching and leadership, but not his ability to sell cars.

So he gets credit for this but you give him a pass on 6-7?

oh btw Clemson, who we need to beat obviously, has what ranked recruiting class?

I would say Manny did well recruiting an OC with one of the top offenses to come on board when it looked like the program was imploding. Lashlee was the main domino that led to these other events. I doubt King comes without Lashlee and Roche comes without King. And I expect this haul to set some other needed recruiting pieces to fall into place.

That really isn't a valid comparison. Manny has reshaped this team in multiple ways on the field and on the sideline.
Yeah, it's really unfair. Shannon had a QB mess. Diaz had a QB mess. Randy inherited a disaster he had a hand in making. Diaz inherited a disaster he had a hand in making. Shannon was a Miami guy. Diaz is a Miami guy. Randy fired Nix and hired Whipple, who set all kinds of records at Mass. Diaz fired Enos and hired Lashlee. OK, so it took Randy an extra year to can Nix, but still, the similarities are there.

Only major difference is the portal exists now.
