Lashlee and King, paired with a stout D, that's how

I think UNC and VT are way overrated. L'ville should be really good on offense but IDK about their defense. I don't understand the UNC hype outside Howell. I think I'd be pretty ****ed at this if I was a UVA, NC St, and BC fan. I think they're all better than where they're ranked right now.

If we had ANY kind of an O last year, we completely destroy UNC and VT. ****, outside of Williams downright GIVING VT a huge lead, we beat the **** out of them. UL couldn't stop Jarren Williams, how the **** are they going to stop King and Lashlee?

As hard as I have been on Diaz, he made a great move bringing in Lashlee. Sure, it was an easy move, but he did make it. If Diaz can instil any form of discipline into the team, we should see a huge step forward this year. I plan on hearing, "That's what we've been waiting 15 years for" a lot this year.

They L'ville game last year was lighting in a bottle and I don't know that we can deduce anything this year re: our matchup with them.

Scrapping Miami's offensive identity for the past 40 years and moving to a up-tempo spread offense was not an easy move. The easy move would have been to find another OC that ran a pro-style offense like Matt Canada.

Completely disagree. Getting with the times was needed, and everyone knew it. Does OU still run the wishbone? Does Nebraska still run the option? You run what works currently, not what worked 30 years ago. The fans don't want more pro style. By the way, do the pros even run "pro style" anymore? We were decades behind, running garbage that didn't optimize the talent in South Florida.

So yeah, it was about **** time we changed and caught up to modern day football. This isn't 1983, where "pro" systems in college are new and innovative. This is 2020 where even pro teams don't run the pro style mess we have saddled ourselves with for 40 years.

Sometimes old habits are hard to break. Sometimes it's pretty easy to open the window and get some fresh air in.

I think those are two different questions. A pro-style offense may be the easy move and lead to a quicker transition (provided you have the right QB). At the same time it may not be the right move. If I had my way, I'd go to what was best long-term and bite the bullet to make the transition work.
 
If I was the HC I'd print this out & put it in everyones locker. I don't think Manny is that kind of coach & I don't like that. I want our guys foaming at the mouth to kill everytime they touch the field.
 
Someone explain to me how the ***C is Louisville getting all this love. VT lost a **** ton of people too, man who the ***C are these voters they should have to reveal themselves. Post this **** all over the locker room, toilet, weight room, nutrition center, inside your online textbook.

I don't have any confidence at this point in this team. Every year we read the same stories and the same crap....."we are coming togehter" " the guys are bigger" blah blah. Till we get a quality head coach, its going nowhere.

I am relying more on the new offense with Lashlee and an improved kicking game with Borregales than Manny.
I will give Manny some credit however, he identified the teams shortcomings and as done his best to improve those deficiencies.

I actually think it’s fair given how we finished last year. The vast majority of people don’t follow the program like we do so it’s not shocking that we’re 6th. I think putting UL and VT above us is highly questionable, but I understand why.

By that rationale, why the **** is North Carolina third-ranked in conference, then?

Those clowns went 7-6 last year—ekeing out last second wins over South Carolina and Miami, before losing to Wake Forest, Appalachian State, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Virginia and Pittsburgh.

Other four wins were Georgia Tech, Duke, Mercer, NC State and Temple in the bowl game.

Tar Heels are the second coming for some reason this year, as the sucking off of Mack Brown continues.

Yes, Sam Howell looks like good quarterback, but seems like a lot of hype out of Chapel Hill—them getting the benefit of the doubt where the Canes don't.
