I thought it was a well fought game, with tons of mistakes by a young group. Seeing the responses here is sad, and I'd love to just have a nice record of where the negative folks stand so we can revisit at year end and maybe the end of next year. It's game 1. This is not Al Golden obvious poor coaching game 1, this is no OL recruiting leaving the new staff with a hot mess game 1.

If you feel that strongly about the staff, let's get it on record for when you try to jump back on the wagon. I'm sure I'll get the down vote from many, but I'll take those as confirmation of where you stand.

i'm not worried about diaz, and not worried about baker too because that D looked like a well oiled machine.

enos and butch barry worry the fck out of me.

I'd throw Patke and Stubblefield in there too. Hard to imagine special teams playing any worse or position group being so bad that they feel the need to put in a QB as WR3
 
Our fans..man you gotta love em..I told y’all last year this offense would struggle in stretches once again IF WE DID NOT SURE UP THE OLINE..you saw it. You all saw everything you bashed MR for not doing. You saw motions, multiple looks..but guess what? If u get whipped up front none of that **** matters..as far as someone who brought up the STs coach like he plays a direct role in 4 muffing a punt, or baxa missing a 20 YD Fg is laughable..that said I’m fully behind manny and think he’s gonna get it don
 
I’ll be here..Manny doesn’t strike me as the type of dude that’s gonna sit idly by and fail at his dream gig. He’ll get sh*t rectified on the O and special teams or heads will roll. I love that he’s already shown a ruthless streak and anyone that isn’t cutting it will be shown the door

This is the instant gratification crowd. Nothing matters but me me me now now now.

New coach, new system, a bunch of freshmen starters especially on the OL, new fresh QB never started a college game in his life. And all they did was get hosed by the phantom officiating pass interference call reversal with time running out to give the game to the mighty SEC Florida Gaturds ranked #8 in the country with a second year coach with all his guys in place for a year to work off of a 10-3 season with 5 and mostly 4 start athletes.

Yeah we garbage for not pulling that game out. What a pathetic thought to think we could play the game with a lead way into the forth quarter with so much raw and inexperience talent to only get hosed by the refs in the end to an SEC powerhouse! Lets fire all their azzes. What a bunch of idiots!

I don't think it's about jumping ship. It's about sucking closing in on 20 years. That game was depressing... All of us expected better.
 
I posted a poll and less than 11% of well over 200 responders are taking the loss with doom and gloom, or worse. Some are quite adamant or vocal, but there really doesn't seem to be that "many" jumping off the wagon, in actuality, at CIS, anyway. Maybe "cautious optimism" is the main feeling around?
 
I believe in Manny and I think he’s going to make the changes so yeah I’m on board. But if we don’t see the adjustments, that can change. Too early to tell. Let’s see where we’re at halfway through season. I try not to get too excited with being offseason champions (that’s reserved for Tennessee fans). I believe we’re heading in the right direction but it’s going to be an uphill battle considering we’re trending in the direction that you and I might be called to play tackle. Make the adjustments, lock in better o line recruits, fire Barry if he’s the culprit, stop giving free graduate degrees to guys like Tommy Kennedy etc.
 
off the wagon? was anyone on it? i dont remember an outcry of support for manny to be the guy when richt left.
 
It all went as I expected. We didnt hire an elite HC, we took a gamble on a brand new inexperienced HC. So while I was disappointed with the hire originally and knew we'd have games like this, I'm more interested in if Diaz learns from this. Its gonna take a couple of years to fix depth, talent level & the offense to beat ranked teams out of conference. Some coaches are gonna have to leave along the way... no one hires their 1st staff perfect. I'm interested to see if Manny has what it takes on all levels; offseason preparation, staff management, recruiting, self improvement, etc.

Am taking a wait and see attitude like I always do. Wasn’t especially happy with us trying to make another coordinator into a head coach because it has never worked before.Would rather have see Manny learn the HC job at Temple before we hired him for the top spot. This team is thin, young, and weak, so just hope the easy schedule gives everyone time to grow as a team. Not too optimistic, however. Just seem like our teams are stuck making the same mistakes over and over again.

Going into this game expectations were to high, predictions were too high and out of touch with reality. How the fvck could people here predict winning by two/three td’s before the game... bet some of those are those wanting MD fired already.
Lets get real... the only thing glaringly depressing about the game was the OL, cause Jarren passed the test with a good grade. Had he had better protection we would have won the game.
It’s way to early to throw Manny and Co. under the bus.
