We Were Warned

Knock it off with the constant threads of “I told you so”. The biggest problem with the defense this year is they can’t tackle. It does not take a rocket scientist to teach tackling. You show the player proper form and they have to perform. The players this year just seem uninterested in tackling at a high level. Giving up 29 missed tackles in a game is on the players, not the coaches. So this archive you found has nothing to do with current state of program. There are all kinds of problems, but one of them have to do with Manny’s ability to teach fundamentals.

Did you read the article? Manny is like Weiss, a guy who never played actual football and therefore immersed himself in the "schematics." This can only go so far and he doesn't pay attention to the fundementals. Why? Because he never learned them himself. What are the fundamentals of football? Blocking and Tackling. What is Miami truly sucking at? Yep, Blocking and Tackling.

Wisconsin not Maryland but..........Basically any team with a half decent offense and some talent....dIAZ pads the stats beating up on JV schedule but what top 50 offense has he actually stopped.............he has been overrated since his days at UT

This is completely false. The Wisconsin game last year was still only 14-3 at half despite FIVE turnovers by the offense. If not for the D bailing us out time and time again it could have been 35-0 by halftime. That D was gassed by the middle of the third quarter but until that point they managed to keep a game that should have been over because of our own offensive ineptitude way earlier.

LSU also did nothing offensively. We gave that game to them again because of offensive ineptitude, a pick 6 and terrible special teams.

Say what you want about his failures as a HC but Manny's D performed at a high level in about 90% of our games.

My impression is that we never had as popular a job as many would like us to believe. I recall accounts of the coaching search going back to the 1989 vacancy when JJ left. I don't think there were as many elite candidates as many on here would like to believe.

Some might have seen the opportunity as a great stepping stone. I think many saw it as a killer job, a minefield, and ultimate graveyard.

It seems almost every successful coach wanted to get out as soon as they could: Schnelly, Johnson, Erickson and Butch.

The only guy we might have passed on who perhaps could have maintained us at the high level was Sonny Lubick. I think he was open to coming back. At one point. He did well at CSU.

How many top 50 offenses have we actually played?..since manny has been here we haven’t really been in “shootouts” except for this year. I tried to tell ppl replacing 4, 22, 99, 9, 28, and also 35 from last years D wouldn’t be automatic.

Can't you say names? Not everybody remembers last year's numbers...and I'm not searching for last year's roster just to make sense out of your post.

Almost as stupid as lazy people who throw around initials instead of names.

Been a huge mope since randy.

Will give Shanny a lot of credit as DC, but the naysayers about his defenses against elite teams is true.

Regardless, he was the wrongestly wrongest hire.

Is a terrible HC, Crooter, and is a dead man walking....

prolly walking through to the transition year being 2021 - wherein a new coach gets absolutely murdered due to the disintegration of the roster via portal through 2020 and the barest of cupboards...

The ONLY thing I could criticize DC Manny's D for is talent depth. He never stacked it like USC or Bama, etc. It never had cherry picked talent. He still shouldnt have been hired as HC though.

The next coach will have a big rebuild on his hands. And possibly won't see a team be competitive until 2023 imo.

You can’t remember the numbers of guys who were on the team for 3 plus years from just a year ago..popping too many viagra eh?
 
LOL @ Dnofrio's unit having fundamentals.

Manny is trash but now you're just making **** up.

LOL....sure the old "its the offense's fault" Pretty sure the offense didnt give up 333 yards rushing........3 3 3 rushing yards...... meanwhile I think Taylor just ran for another 12 yard gain ..... And that was with the backup QB....dIAZ knew they were going to run and still stuff his **** in. What about the year before when they played Wisky.

Dont forget what BC did to his d. Toledo last year over 300 yards...the year before that over 400 yards.... T O L E D O

Yes dIAZ d performed against those crappy O teams of the ACC coarstal....he pads his stats playing those teams.

Please provide 2 teams with top 50 offenses that dIAZ has stopped.........

Sigh. Your child like analysis is barely worth the response but ok.

2016 West Viriginia had the 23rd ranked offense in the country, averaging 479 yards a game. Miami's defense held them to 229 yards and 14 points.
2017 Virginia Tech 479 held to 299 and 10 points.

I'll just stop there because your statement is so preposterous but I can find 10-15 more games where we held teams below their average scoring and yardage numbers if I took the time, but won't bother.

You find one or two games and try to play it off as the norm.

If you can't absorb how many times over the previous three years this D kept us in games while the offense **** the bed for 60 minutes, then you are either blind or willfully ignorant.

I'm sure it's the latter.

LOL....way to come up with games 3-4 seasons ago and you only came up with 2 over rated teams(much like dIAZ dEFENSE) Come up with something recent like my examples of dIAZ d constantly getting raped by subpar teams in the last 2 years. Anyone with decent talent and some knowledge of how to run an Offense destroys dIAZ. People already have him figured out. Yes the O sucked a$$ the last few years but there are 20 Defenses last year that were better than Miami. Again he beats up on the JV schedule.
Only one blind is you Ray with your orange and green glasses. There is a reason nobody......NOBODY but Temple and UM that were interested in dIAZ as a HC.

How the *** you lose to a team with 1st year HC transitioning his team from triple option offense to a somewhat normal offense.
First Miami coach since the 1970s to lose his first 2 games
Lost to a HC that has been sitting in a studio booth for 6 years with a true freshman QB and the old Oline coach dIAZ fired.
dIAZ is a used car salesman and your the idiot being sold

Ah yes the classic let’s find the statistical category he excelled in a declare he’s the best “yards per play” which is a metric that ignores giving up long drives and third downs which for the majority of his Canes career he was atrocious at.

His scoring and total defenses as a Hurricane coach managed top ten one time. He was a solid DC on a team that plays in the easiest conference in football, whose career as a coordinator was up and down, and who consistently got demolished by top programs.

The overrating of Diaz as DC is why he got hired. If people took a second to look at what an actual elite Miami defense was, then maybe they wouldn’t have blown Diaz so much and maybe the BOT wouldn’t have determined he was our savior long before Rick retired.

heres all anyone needs to know about Diaz .. His D at Texas gave up a school record 550 rushing yards to BYU --- A PASSING TEAM !!! Mack Brown fired his *** the next day ! none of this waiting till the end of the season bull**** ..... Adios Manny !
