During a team meeting on Sunday, the UM coaching staff held the Hurricanes to that type of high standard.

“We had a team meeting on Sunday and reviewed the film and its as a tough truth meeting,” Manny Diaz said on The Joe Rose Show on 560 The Joe. “We didn’t play very well on Saturday and we explored some of the reasons why. It is like when your children take a test and they pass the test, but they don’t get the grade that they wanted. You get to go back and explore some of the reasons why it happened. Let’s look in the mirror and find out who we really are.”

“There are penalties of great strain, effort, and aggression—like the penalty on Corey Gaynor on the sideline—if all our penalties were like that, then you’d live with it as a coach,” Diaz said. “But then you have selfish penalties

Diaz admitted that he saw poor habits during last week’s practice that carried into the Central Michigan game

“There will be competition at different spots across the team. We don’t want guys to feel comfortable, especially off of a performance like that


Take from it what you will.

Man, I really want to like Manny...I truly do. I want him to be a young dabo, but everytime he talks he becomes less believable and inspires even less confidence.

Starting to sound a lot like Golden and the team looks like a golden team (soft and uninspired). Publicly blaming the players after what we all saw is unfathomable.

The mistakes etc and lack of discipline are coaching issues, sir! 12-13 penalties is a coaching issue! ******** up in practice, but not holding the players accountable is a coaching issue!!

Too much coach speak from the guy, while putting out an inferior product. He’s really starting to grate on me

Team rolled over Bethune-Cookman, thought the next week was going to be more of the same.

Kind of understandable.

The coaches letting that mindset last longer than five minutes is not.

Hopefully a lesson learned by all moving forward. We’ll know for sure next Saturday.

Stop blaming the players. The disease is YOU, Manny.

Finally someone is holding the players accountable for the stupid penalties and absolute horrid situational understanding. I don't see this as Manny putting all the blame on the players. He knows it is his job to break the bone headed habits that, lets face it, most of the S. Fl kids have when it comes to knowing what to do, when to do it and simply knowing what the down and distance is. For years these kids take a P.I. on 3rd and 12 on a 8 yard route when they just have to make a tackle or take a selfish Personal Foul after a 3 and out to give the other team the ball back. It 125% negates any talent advantage we have over these ACC scrub teams that simply know what to do and when to do it. THAT IS THE CANCER & it will take Manny or anyone else time to root it out. Not saying he is not experiencing growing pains and has made his own crucial errors that cost us 2 games, but if many of the players simply knew the situation at all times we wouldn't have been in any position to lose to UF or UNC.

Not really if you listen to most of his interviews he tells it like it is. As much grief as this board gives him, they fail to realize that this is the first coach we have had in a while who is not afraid to make changes if something is not working. He has done this in every area we complained about. I get it the results have not been what we want but he is working to get this team where it needs to be.
