Someone tells me they drive a Ferrari everyday but if every time I see them they’re in a Honda Civic I’m gonna be skeptical of the Ferrari claim...

It’s entirely possible they have both cars, it’s just the only one I’ve seen is the Honda.

If our fans want the National CFB media to believe in Miami we gotta pull up in the Ferrari & stop driving the Honda.

Really?

What do you think our options were? An interim coach was going to make a difference?

We promised to give Manny a cigarette and an honorable death. Buys goodwill. And a smaller payout.

… and the preferred replacement was already employed and after the OSU win had playoff ambitions.

A reminder to all of those who gave a lot of us guff for "rooting against" Diaz in the pointless 2021 football season; caring more about the greater good of this program, than some throwaway season that would've at best resulting in some third-rate bowl game.

Last season was the first time in four decades of being a Canes fan that I was actively rooting against the Canes. Once they hit 1-2 after folding against Michigan State, I was done with that fraud Diaz and any team he was in charge of.
TVD willed the kids to wins over North Carolina State and Pittsburgh by playing out of his mind—which set a great stage for this season—but those wins made a loss in Tallahassee even more necessary, as a rally-the-troops moment against those deadbeats could've saved Manolo's little job.

Thankfully the football gods cared more about UM's long-term future and stole his little feel good moment (with Papí on the sidelines with him). Wins against NCST, PITT and GT were by a combined eight points. Is that Miami football? Was that kind of team every going win big under that little fraud?

That loss against the Noles "made" their season—while SAVING Hurricanes football. The game entirely changed that day. Put ol' Manny Diaz in the UM Hall of Fame and the Ring of Honor for that loss as it solidified the changing of the guard and the comeback.

I hear ya, brother. I was banned myself from this very website for recognizing that every meaningless win over a meddling ACC school kept us away from truly being a great program again. But you know, despite D-Money and the mods doing what they did to ya boy, I'd do it and say it all again. Why? Because my love for my school is worth any short sighted criticism I may receive. You need fans like us who will say the unpopular, but right, things if it means the greater good of the program. That's what leadership and not being a blind follower is all about.

I hear you, a lot of smart folks agree with you, not saying you're wrong or it's not for the best ...

But gotdamm!!

Pulling for the Noles (or the Gators) against the Canes is a bridge too far for me. Sorry.

You let the season run its course. Hoping Miami ever loses to one of its archrivals is pathetic. It may have ramped up the noise but the dye was cast.
 
If anyone thinks the wheels weren’t already in motion to replace the AD, bring in Mario and drastically overhaul the program before the FSU game they haven’t been paying attention.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

The last week in September Herbstreit calls out the University, which was clearly caught off guard. They then spend weeks scrambling to get a coherent message out to the public that doesn't make much sense. Frenk goes on the big screen at the UVA game and addresses the situation, which was bizarre. At that point it's clear the University doesn't have a plan yet. That's 5 weeks from the FSU game.

It's not until AFTER the FSU game that word starts leaking in the media (via Mike Ryan) that the University is willing to invest more dollars into the sports programs and take things seriously. Blake James gets fired AFTER the FSU game. Meanwhile, Oregon was 9-1 and #3 in the country, making a playoff run. The FSU loss prompted a major response, both from a personnel standpoint and a PR standpoint, that wasn't there before that game.

If you want to tell me Blake James was gone after the Herbstreit rant then I believe it. I also believe, up until a certain point, many people at Miami thought Blake James being replaced was going to be enough. I am sure Miami people contacted Cristobal and were trying to get him here maybe some time in October, but I also think that was not certain until some time post FSU.

I think Manny was being kept around because they weren't sure Cristobal would come. I think people thought if Cristobal turned it down and Manny won out there would be a way to bring him back because there was nobody else. I think once they lost to FSU nobody could defend it anymore and it was all in on Cristobal, which is why post FSU you suddenly get public messages out to the world about Miami willing to spend tens of millions of dollars.

I don't know what actually happened but I can't buy a story that the University went from not caring at all to securing one of the best coaches in the country and spending SEC money in a matter of a few weeks, which would have been the timeline post Herbstreit rant and pre FSU game. I think it was much more dynamic and fluid than that. I think they didn't know the outcome until the end of November.

These asshats made t-shirts (4th and 14) and we’re trolling hard on April 14th earlier this year. It was their Super Bowl and can potentially be the greatest Pyrrhic victory in college football history if we rattle of a run of ships

who said:
Corch lisp n’ slide is the worst “coach” in the history of CFB. Besides that, his pathetic farewell letter is all you need to know about that scumbag.

Mario, scrub this program clean of any Manny filth.

If you listened to the interviews by Rudy Fernandez, you’d have a better sense of what was going on and the timeline of how things played out. Rudy’s wake up call was the FIU loss. He knew right then and there something had to change and he started the wheels in motion.

Now that is exactly why Manny should never be a power 5 D coach again. That was terrible.

Now here's the question.

Was that as bad as D'No having the safety's and LB's lined up at the back of the end zone while the offense was at the goal line.

Just think how bad it's been with coaching over the last 10 years plus.
