It’s hard to know internally how to apportion blame for the UNC debacle, we don’t know if earlier in the week Diaz metaphorically said to Baker “here you take the ball and run with it“ but what is certain is that they had ineffective and/or non-existent adjustments.I kind of think the same. There was no statement of confidence in Baker afterwards.
Should there be an absolute defensive dominance I can see it being chalked up to Covid, but the fundamental problems are there. I just hope he sees it and corrects.
Even if Manny is as technically to blame as Baker, you don’t fire yourself, so it doesn’t leave him much choice.
There are other issues that were exposed in that game, but I just don’t feel like getting into those now. Just in my opinion the way for Manny to go is to have a head coach structure like Dabo, or Saban, a lot of head coaches, where your OC and the DC are the guys that run the offense and the defense, obviously with your supervision and input. No guarantee it makes my better coach, but I do guarantee it would give him a greater chance to be a better coach if that’s in the cards for him.
But at the end of the day it’s his ***, he is going to make the decision which he thinks will keep him employed. I know what I think that should be, but I wonder what he thinks it should be.
