What Drives TVD?

On his new BMW 750i sport car, one of his NIL perks as QB1:

“I feel like I don’t deserve it,” Van Dyke told 247Sports. “But I want to reach my goals so I can earn it, make it to the NFL so I can pay for it myself. But it’s hard to say no.”

As dollar figures get thrown around for QBs across the country, Van Dyke would shoot down one rumor: He’s not a millionaire. At least not yet.

“Nope, not even close,’" Van Dyke said. “That’s a lot of money. I’m not going to say how much I’ve got, but not near a million.”

--Ask Van Dyke about his goals for 2022 and he quickly pulls the lens outward. Sure, he’d like to improve his accuracy and transform his body – the 6-foot-4, 224-pound pro-style QB wants to be more mobile with an eye toward the NFL – but all those improvements are a road toward team success.
He’s concerned about execution. To Van Dyke that’s where the coaching change from Diaz to Cristobal has sparked needed change.

--Ask Van Dyke the biggest difference between Cristobal and Diaz from a personality standpoint, and Van Dyke points to Cristobal’s intensity, which carries over into the way the program is run. Van Dyke said the two previous Hurricane teams he’s been part of had discipline issues. Players showed up late to workouts or weren’t present for class check-ins.

“It happened a good amount,” Van Dyke said. “With the old staff they’d sometimes let stuff slide,” Van Dyke said. “I love them as coaches, but it’s hard for us to win on the field if we’re not doing every detail right on and off the field. With Cristobal it’s the complete opposite. We have to do everything right. And if not, you won’t be here or you won’t play."

Whereas before a player could miss class and still start, Van Dyke said one issue will result in the entire team having to show up at 5:30 a.m. to watch extra film, among other reminders.

--In Van Dyke’s view, the issue that’s plagued Miami is top-to-bottom execution. It’s what Van Dyke knows the Hurricanes need to reach their goals and, likely, what he’ll need as well to eventually pay for his own Beemer.

“We’ve been hyped the last two years I’ve been here,” Van Dyke said. “But you have to execute it. I think we have all the talent in the world, we just have to be more disciplined. … We have to stick to the game plan, trust the coaches and what they are doing. It’s one of the best coaching staffs in the country so just understand what they’re trying to do and we’ll have a great season this year.”

Manny could have tried the same tactics and it wouldn’t have worked

Cristobal can do it because the man has earned it

Kids aren’t stupid. They know who they can and can’t **** with
 
TVD is from Connecticut, he should be driving a Saab

Someone will read the quote about discipline and think, ‘see, Mario believes in discipline and Manny did not’. That is only half true. A coach can only discipline players when the player behind the starter is good enough to take the starter’s spot. The reason Mario can demand discipline is because Mario is increasing roster talent and depth. And with that he can legitimately say, ’either you do it right or we will replace you.’

Manny’s poor recruiting meant that he couldn’t discipline the starter because the guy behind the starter was a bum and the starter knew that.

That’s part of the equation but Mario has a helluva lot more credibility than Manny will ever have. Couple credibility with competition, and Mario has the right combination to instill discipline.
