What has Manny done well here?

The only thing I can think of is the thing that he has the least to do with which is the offense. Defense is ***, special teams coverage is very bad. Recruiting is in the toilet, he benefited from Covid and kept JW and LT home. How are we even talking about him coming back?
Thats not all. he did develop 2 NFL 1st rounders at DE he also did well as the DC. He brought in Feeley who is considered big time. He tried time and again to change up the O (mission acomplished). He helped to create the TO Chain which had its moment in the sun.

His biggest failures are 1. Failing to recruit and develop good players on D when he had a bit of a solid rep. 2. Losing to bad teams too much. Think about it, if he beats GT, FIU, Duke & LA Tech year 1, he goes 10-3. Year 2's 8-3... its a covid year he gets a pass. but in year 3 he just needs to beat 1 of a terrible UVA or UNC and beat FSU and he's 9-3 going to play Wake Forest next week for which would likely be our 1st ACC Championship.

He wasnt ready. But now I think he is ready.... but for someone else. Good luck to him, it'd just be terrible to bring him back on a 1 year deal.

He was good at pushing a false narrative, sold dreams for cheap & the Hecht bought into it. If the National Championship was won in the offseason on twitter we would have no less than 2 under Mandy

Hes done very well at creating an informal course for entry level coaches learning how to NOT manage the clock this year (Virginia, FSU)

Coached a very good defense for 3 years, was the Head Coach over a decent defense his first year, and the last 2 have been terrible.

Brought an uptempo spread offense to Miami for the first time ever after the mouth-breathers told us for eons we had to run pro-style, bro. Got some really good players out of the portal.

Probably that’s about it.
You is a brave soul coming round these parts with positives about Manuel Alberto Diaz

He is good with BS
 
He's terrible. Only thing he's done pretty well is reduce the terrible attrition rate we had under prior coaches. He also did a decent job fixing the culture. Our kids play hard and never quit. We just don't win...
Except for the culture, the culture is great.
 
Manny has united the fan base (against him), got the attention of the national college football world about UM's dysfunction, got president Frenk to care about football, and got some big money guys so sick of mediocrity that they're willing to throw tens of millions of $$$ at the program to get rid of Manny and never hear from him again.

Good work Manny!

I tell what he’s done well here; setting records. Each season he completed feats:

2019: First P5 Coach to lose to FIU & iirc, the first P5 coach to be held scoreless in a bowl game against a G5 team

2020: UNC set numerous ACC, Miami, and NCAA records alone in this single game

2021: First Coach to allow 30+ points in 6 straight games since 1936.

The guy just knows how to rewrite history.
Go big or go home!!

He has padded the stats of pretty much every QB his Miami defense has faced

UNC loves him since they have the single game NCAA rushing record courtesy of his (no) defense
