We all know Diaz is the worst coach in D1 football, but it’s good to know many in the media also see it.

Yahoo is awful, but I’ll take any heat on Diaz I can get. They gave him a D- (essentially an F) for his performance this year.

Grading all 27 of college football's first-year coaches

Some like Scott Satterfield and Ryan Day had great seasons. Others, like Dana Holgorsen and Manny Diaz, had debut years they'd like to forget.

I'm not trying to defend him. But the only recruit on offense Diaz brought in was Osbourne and he lead team in recieving. Zion nelson was signed before they hired diaz. If you look back to 2017 which was the best team we had in over a decade, you could make the argument that diaz was the reason we won. I know the argument that he was there, so he should know the players. But again what DC gets involved with offensive recruiting? So I don't think those are his players on offense. So even if we get mad we can't give Diaz all this blame, it's not like we had some high powered offense that he ran into the ground. We were pretty bad last year

That's an excellent grade for em, im sure he'd give himself an F, he knows he's got to get better fast, you dont just sneak up on a high winning pct. as a headcoach, coach richt knew what he was doing, and if people think coach richt was some fluke, just look at what happened to Fsu when he left, the correlation is clear for those who know, and chuck amato's impact was felt to, they havent had to much high level linebacker play since he left too as well!

Losing to FIU and GT sealed that ranking.

That's funny I asked for facts and you come with insults. If I'm wrong show me, I'll gladly admit it when I am. Ho across that entire offense and show me who Manny brought in

I can’t believe I’m diving into this but who cares? We had much more talent and cohesion than FIU, Duke or GaTech and earned crippling losses in each. I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve a shot at his own recruits but in situations with such a big talent gap we sure didn’t show much.
