Walk me through this again - what do we gain by not firing Manny now?

What am I missing here? At this point, what are the tangible and practical advantages to not firing Manny by Monday afternoon?

There were lots of "logical" arguments before the Noles game to not fire him, but at this point, what am I missing? As far as I can tell, there is literally NOTHING to be gained by not firing him.

You’re not missing anything. The thinking is probably that the season ends in two weeks anyways so why fire him now? They’ve probably got Galaxy brain at the Hecht and think if we fire him now we won’t get bowl eligibility and the chance to play in the Charmin Diarrhea Bowl.

Him and Blake are done. It’s obvious now. It’s just matter of when he’s fired.

admin should announce he's not coming back asap. don't really care if they let him coach the last 2 games. it's unfair to the kids who are busting their butts out there. puts them in the position of thinking they can save manny's job by winning out, then feeling terrible when they lose on account of manny being manny. ill cite the end of the fsu game as evidence

Very true statement. Especially the second sentence.

That's one of the most concerning things. I was hoping to wake up this morning to plenty of chatter about him and Blake being fired. This is so beyond ridiculous.

Sorry, but their ticket revenue will plummet if Manny stays.

There was plenty of smoke prior to this...we're just waiting for the 5 alarm blaze.

I guess the question is does firing him now vs at end of season do anything more than just quench the blood lust of a rabid fan base? Not really sure it will do anything more than that.

Have you heard from Blake lately? Silence sometimes speaks louder than words.

The AD normally be the guy to fire the HC. Since he is currently MIA and most likely for good, you will probably here about Manny's firing in some kind of joint statement from BOT.

Supposedly they and power brokers are scheduled to meet on 11/18. Would expect something shortly after. That is my best guess.

And just how many calls before 11/18 to members of the BOT by Manny Sr do you expect?? This may be my imagination, maybe not. I don’t trust politicians. Perhaps, Manny Sr was truly on the sidelines yesterday just to watch his son. Or maybe it was all theater…dressed in UM gear from head to toe, right behind his son in camera’s view to show the world just how much the Diaz’s love UM all before an all important meeting is to happen.

Agreed! I wanted him gone after this game, but at 2-4 is when the school should've let him go.

I all but knew he wouldn’t win out after the 2-4 start but they **** near put themselves in a huge bind because he almost did it and they would have been forced to keep him or fire him after winning 6 straight.

The reality is we should have fired Blake after the 2-4 start and found an AD. Then the manny situation would be clear as day for the new guy.. he has to go now. Now..we have to find an AD and a HC in about a month and a half… and that includes completely missing early NSD. Or.. hire a HC and then an AD and the AD comes in married to someone he doesn’t even know and may not like.

Really sloppy situation in Coral Gables. I’d legitimately be shocked if Mario wanted anything to do with it at this point.

Theatrics perhaps. But that is all it is. What makes you think that influences anything other than public perception? Money will be the bottom line for these BOT members who are largely successful business people and they know that right now maintaining the status quo is a losing financial proposition.

They maybe decide to keep Manny until end of season or at very least determine who the new AD is and leave Manny's fate to him. Where's Blake?
