Why did Richt hire Manny Diaz?

[OrangetieFatface]

Same reason we hired Richt. He was a guy who was available and attainable.

 

[Combo]

With our dbs da defense could get picked apart this here year even if Diaz doesn't suck.

My primary worry going into next season. CB looks like a major Achilles Heel for us.

I know we aren't getting Jackson, but I thought adding a guy of that calibre could help us avoid losing a couple games.

We really need to clean up with CBs in the '17 class. Do that and then we can truly judge what Diaz is capable of here.

Fellow Fans,

I thought it was reported early on with Diaz that he might (will) run a four tiered defensive call scheme. What I mean by that is:

1) as DC, Diaz sets overarching defensive strategy for the given opponent;

2) during the game, DL defensive calls (by those specific coaches) are made separate from the DB;

3) during the game, DB defensive calls (by those specific coaches) are made separate from the DL; and

4) during the game, Diaz as DC ensures the separate DL and DB calls are working together overall to disrupt and stop the opponent's offense in support of the Hurricane's overall win the game strategy.

Am I making sense? Did i actually read that ir dream that?

Thoughts???

Anyone have thoughts on this...anyone?

Thoughts? I think you're a **** for quoting yourself begging for replies.

Here's another thought for you douche bag.

Why don't you try an answer the question?

Oh wait...you are too busy acting like a keyboard tough guy. From your Starcraft Command Center. In your mom's spare room. While wearing your Spiderman underoos.

Fuqn tool.

You talk tough in cyberspace, but all it really reveals how small and pathetic your persona is. In fact, it's very likely your father's sperm was defective and/or your mother's ovaries were broken. Did she drink heavily while you were in utero? Drugs maybe? Perhaps they were just incompetent as parents because they produced and raised you? What a sad disappointment you must be to them.

Utter fail. Your entire family.

How badly does it sting when you look at the mirror each morning, hoping, praying for something different, but then like a horror show groundhog day, you are...well...still you looking at the same sad life over and over again. I'd be bitter too. It isn't your fault. Really.

Does everyone on here know how hated you are in your workplace too? Your that guy who is disagreeable and that no one wants to eat lunch with...save for other flock-o-tools like yourself. What a tragic grouping.

That must be tough to deal with. So, instead of being a decent human being and trying to add to the discourse, the best you can conjure are snarky one-liners (I will admit some are funny in a Radio or Rain Man kinda way) that you could never do in person because you would be picking up two broken teeth with your two broken arms.

I've never said a derogatory word to you, as well as several others on here, despite your asnine posts on this board (this one and to several others).

Is the above the best you can do?

Go fuq yourself and try to apologize to society, along with your loser parents, for being such an utter waste of space.

Douche bag!

Franchise makes a great link between the de-valued style of Andrews and one of
Their prot*g*s, our current dc, Diaz. Modern day spread offenses began shredding Andrews at the end of his career and I also
Think this has more to do with stylistic elements than Andrews advancing age.

Enter stage left Diaz: a guy who frankly has had mediocre results the majority of his dc career in relatively the same era of
Offenses who also keeps preaching 'attack' with no end. While it's always wonderful to hear the 'better fit' to south Florida athletes under Diaz's scheme it seems borderline as non-adaptable as donofrio (just with a different scheme). I hope I'm wrong and the 'attack' for the sake of attacking that has seemingly made posters drunk with pre glee is not foreboding of stubborn, unadaptable, and unintelligent playcalling.

Also concerning and odd to me is his orchestral component: where he tries to merge a different set of playcalls from the front seven and back four. Is anyone else overly concerned by this complexity in trying to unify multiple sets of playcalls from a guy with a mediocre playcalling history?

Aranda, dj durkin etc are modern day stud dcs whom also attacked but with intelligent purpose.

That's the thing, can he adapt? If I see a D that remotely resembles the BAD defences at UT, I'll want him gone sooner rather than later. If I see a D that forces turnovers, and wins start piling up, I'll be happy.

The fact that Diaz's system requires the DL to get their feet across the line of scrimmage is definitely an upgrade over the previous staph infection.

That said, there are issues of concern. The first being spot dropping the linebackers, especially when he's dialing up those vaunted zone blitzes. The main issue here is asking the three underneath defenders to cover grass as oppose to matching and carrying the vertical seam route. We witnessed No D's defense on numerous occasions get absolutely torn to pieces using the exact same concept. Although I'm not a fan of this method I do understand the simplistic approach in term of teaching it.

The second issue relates to the coverage behind the zone blitz. No pattern matching with the corners. It's basically your typical three deep coverage of yesteryear. Meaning the corners stay over the top and deep as the deepest receiver. Again, I'm not a fan of this, but the coaching method is very simple.

The third is gap control upfront. Diaz allows his DLmen some freedom to attack space as oppose to maintaining gap control. As it relates to getting lit up via the running game, I think this is the primary reason. You'll often see two defenders in the same gap, and the ball carrier running to pure daylight. That's problematic to say the least.

In general, I'm curious to see if Diaz has evolved as a DC, and just how much influence coach Kool has on the overall scheme.

ALL EYEZ on MANNY

D, how much Mickey Andrews and Chuck Amato is there in Diaz's defense? I ask because that's where he learned to be a coach and because the Andrews approach to defense was getting destroyed his final couple years as college passing offenses advanced.

What worked in the 80s and early 90s for Andrews stopped working when offenses started incorporating spread principles.

From the Mississippi St. article it sounds like Diaz's system has been fairly productive against spread teams. I haven't memorized the stats and won't get into what happened at Texas, just hoping that he's learned from past mistakes unlike the idiots we watched the last 5 years.

Im sure he has learned from his mistakes and can adapt. The Texas run he had bad talent and that was when Mack was winding down as head coach. I dont expect much this year as the D has a weak secondary but by years 2 and 3 they should be balling. Plus Coach Kool will have a tremendous impact on the defensive scheme each week

 

[Jeeperaf]

Fellow Fans...

A few questions...

1) who is the "acknowledged best" DC against spread offenses now?

2) how does our estimation of a Miami Diaz-led defense fit/align with #1 ?

Didn't read that schizophrenic treatise, but that's a lot of words and feelings. You're deep in your chest over me.

Hey Princess Franchisca...

Again...dance around a topic because your knowledge of ANYTHING is less than 1cm deep.

You've been exposed how many times as a petulant child? Too many to count.

Loud mouth...with zero to back it up. Standard douche bag.

And now that you've been exposed again (it's boring picking on you), you run and hide.

Does it hurt your pride that much hiding in the girl's bathroom? The new TG guidelines had you in mind didn't they?

Dearest jeeperA$$Fvcked, didn't read, but it's obvious I've wounded you quite deeply and caused you a lot of pain.

The answer I believe is that Richt thought his style of D fit what he wanted to do here and what we have been known for, and what kids want to play. In addition, he is from here, which reduces the risk that he won't acclimate to the Miami area. family etc.

Ted Kaczynski, are you going to drop a package off at the US Post Office?

But the real answer is...Aranda turned down Ritch and Diaz was what was available.

Wow...you Brony Club Girls are really tough today!!!!

Aren't you cute?

To bad you aren't as tough or smart in real life.

So...care to answer the defense related question? Can you intelligently?

Or just continue to feel good about yourselves with...well...your drivel?

C'mon...show all of us how smart you are...

 

[Jeeperaf]

Thats an unfortunate last name for #81 .

 

[Jeeperaf]

It seems a general consensus is that Aranda would have (is) a better hire than Diaz.

Why so? Based on past performance at Wisc (Aranda) vs UT (Diaz)?

Are there really key differences between Aranda's schemes vs Diaz? Thought the LSU boards also bantering about Aranda brings an "attack" style?

"Why so? Based on past performance at Wisc (Aranda) vs UT (Diaz)?"

I would say yes Aranda's defenses were ranked higher than Diaz over a multiple year sample.

 

[Jeeperaf]

Fair enough. But why so? What does Aranda "do" better than Diaz?

Maybe lets discuss this way...if both DCs had exactly the same players, who would scheme and coach up the better product on the field?

I get it that the Asst Coaches are a huge variable...but scheme/philosophy wise...are Aranda and Diaz all that different?
