Trequan ***ans Decommits

[PSU Cane]

I would sacrifice the entire class if it means we get the HC and AD moves right

except that never seems to happen round these parts

 

[BS85]

Call me crazy but I really don't care about recruits right now I just want us to get our front office and coaching staff in order.

I care about both. Having one **** class significantly impacts the next coaches ability to rebuild the roster.

Kids already leaving and no ones been fired... so F it fire em all....

 

[Canesfan1899]

Was going to happen whether we keep Manny or not. Kid aint stupid and he won’t be the last one.

Can’t blame him but it hurts. Why recruit press man corners when you play a soft zone.

 

[ajkreider]

Hey, this is what the fan base wanted so . . . .

 

[skeeter]

Either for new staff or current if it sticks...

Henderson twins
McCantos, Edison
J-A Celestine, Palmetto (more of a slot corner)

Hope T-Rob/DVD are on the phone already.

Thank u

Hey, this is what the fan base wanted so . . . .

The fan base wanted what? Have another crappy season & see a potential great class fall apart? I’m sure that was top priority on every “fans” list.

I hate Manny so much

 

[BostonCanes47]

Really don’t care right now. Thank god for the transfer portal, the new Head coach is going to have to fill the majority of this class through it

 

[Zbrod95]

Lol why yall acting like the SFL kids wouldn’t have bailed too?

 

[PIPO]

But here’s the thing, my brotha…
When I see the spread sheet of allocated finances, and see Diaz costing this program $9m+ in yr one, that let’s us know it’s not just being cheap, but it also is linked to bad decision making.

My grandfather, before he passed away, was notoriously cheap, & I hate to say this, but he was a slumlord due to his frugal ways. I used to beg him to stop being cheap b/c he’s losing $ by constantly trying to fix the band aid fixtures, and tenants moving out. In his latter yrs, we estimated that dude lost upwards of $250k (no b.s) in lost rents, the inability to increase rents to keep up w/ cost of living due to the conditions of the bldg, & multiple times trying to fix the same problems. To save $1, he lost $250k.

The University continues to try to be cheap, and if they realized spending $1 to hire quality coaches, they would make $10, they would be so much further ahead. It’s a concept that I’m not sure they will get, until they have an infrastructure committed to both academics & athletics. Resting on their laurels, while continuing to monetize off the past will lead to further degradation of the program.

You make too much sense. Gonna put you on “Ignore”

 

[SayWhat]

You lose games, you don't deserve to have a player of his caliber. Why come here and put your future in jeopardy?

Good lick young man and smart move.

 

[Invalid Username]

Unless changes are made, we will be lucky to field a full class and struggle to crack the top 50 rankings haha Get ready for us to take a lot of jags just to fill it up.

Football gods are still ****ed at us. We had better classes while the dark cloud was looming and we got sanctions.

 

[Dwinstitles]

U know what’s funny @Dwinstitles,

In the off season, we were told to wait patiently, that the staff have a new recruiting strategy; they’re only taking commits from guys who wanna be here. They have a board of prioritizing certain players & r not quick to rush into getting commitments.

Then we got a couple of blue chip guys from out of state, and we were told “if blue chip player A wants in, we’ll make room for him, but the class is filling up w/ silent commits.” Then, a couple of more guys committed, and we were told all these So Fla 5 star guys wanted in. That was pre-season.

Now, the proverbial mopes, they were a little hesitant to buy in to the hype b/c they’ve seen this story before…now on October 11, 2021, it’s “this class was never going to be good anyway.” Lol.

I’m going to say something that I said in a Golden thread once upon a time; if u retain Manny longer than his shelf life, it’s going to be more detrimental than good. However, there’s one caveat…this team has to have a plan in place now. The first move, HAS to be relieving James of his duties. This has been an epic fail from both a financial & production from this hire, and this was ALL him.

Last 5 coaches first 29 games:
Coker: 28-1
Shannon: 15-14
Golden: 18-11
Richt: 21-8
Diaz: 16-13

The commonality w/ Shannon & Diaz is eerily similar in a lot of ways, EXCEPT one guy was hired internally, while the other guy was bought out to return, just to place us right back into mediocrity. That’s y James HAS to go.

James needs to be fired asap

 

[bobbydigius]

You're probably right, but how does firing Manny today change any of this? You're not hiring anyone until after the season. Kids are still going to decommit. So I really don't see the benefit other than making some public stance, which I'm not sure the folks in charge care much about making.

Better this class then next…

 

[nvlahos]

Rip the band aid off and move on from Manny

 

[CT Cane 44]

Y'all want to fire the entire athletic department (and I can't really argue against it). Well, this is what happens when you do. Remember, firing coaches in 2021 is more painful than it was in the past due to ESD. You used to be able to fire a coach after Thanksgiving and hire someone in December and salvage a class. All the timing is now moved up. So, firing Manny and everyone else and not hiring a new coach until December/January essentially kills an entire class.

Diaz losing games and the team looking like a joke is why. Who’s been fired?

 

[The Sphinx]

If there is anything this season has reminded me, it’s that coaching and program leadership are wayyy more vital to the success of a college football team than talent.

Do we need more talent? Absolutely. But currently, Iowa has the #2 ranked team, Cincinnati #3, Michigan State #10 and UK #11. I won’t even continue through the Top 25 because it includes teams like Ole Miss, Coastal Carolina, Wake Forest and Arizona State.

Not a single one of those teams recruits better than us on an annual basis. Not one.

Forget the ‘22 class. Get the right HC and AD and the rest takes care of itself.

 

[ssvir]

Knew he was to elite to come here lol huge loss and let the dominoes begin. This class will be the worst class in a long time. Dead end job for the next HC.....he is going to go through ****.
