Yes. Took on the all-world Nebraska center (was that Dave Rimington?) in '84 OB and did well against a supposed monster.

I think his backup was Darin MacMurray who was even smaller, around 230. A 280lb OL was huge then.

Did not know Fitzpatrick was only 5'10". Listed at 6'.
.
I think Tony ended up coaching at Houston.

No...Rimington Graduated in 82...was a rookie with the Bengals in 83

Is Diaz going to be talking about what a great game we played once we rout Bethune?

God I hope not.
 
Today is TGIF, time to wipe the slate clean. Hoping we see every **** scholarship athlete on the field Saturday, and those that have been struggling for whatever reason, get to ball out and improve their confidence. I also hope we get to see all three QB’s if not Matocha as well. And for the defense to iron out the kinks so that we are better prepared for Vag Tech and Uvula. I don’t care if that means we score 100pts, this will help the morale of the team more than any practice will. Time to get this team back to .500 ball, and start a longer win streak.
 
Man y'all crazy if y'all think Manny ain't in the coaches ****. No coach is going to tell da media what's going on like that smh. Some of yall need to go follow another team straight up. Just going to be mad bout nothing and that's real. Yes,0-2 sucks but if you think Manny ain't coaching his *** off and got the moving in the right direction way betta then previous regimes stop watching and bring the negative bull somewhere else. We a couple of plays from being 2-0 with 1st year players and Head Coach learning how to win and only experience does that. Football is a team building process, **** don't happen overnight. What the ****, y'all experts complaining but if you can't be real bout the situation Miami was in and what Manny inherited than you not a real fan period and just performing. Jimmy Johnson inherited a championship team and go look at his 1st year but some of y'all only on here to stroke your ego like you know it all and just want to talk about anyone else cause you ain't happy with urself and a fake cane fan. I hate 0-2 but I bleed orange and green and never going to **** on none of them boys after just two games.Y'all exactly the weak mentality Manny said he got to get out the program, ol give up *** girls during adversity. Two dam games and y'all know what's going on at practice in the meetings ect...STOP FOLLOWING DA CANES IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE AFTER TWO GAMES FAKE *** FANS ITS A PROCESS LONGER THEN TWO GAMES. ACT LIKE ALL OUR CHAMPIONSHIP COACHES JUST ROLLED **** THE 1ST YEAR. Y'all negative *** comments just are just embarrassing. Yes, critique the team but all that extra disrespect y'all doing the team after 2 games show me y'all not real canes and probably pricks. Again I hate 0-2 but the ones who ****ting on the team like they just **** and al golden coaching and think it ain't a process go somewhere else with the disrespect after two games period.

I here ya. But there has been no evidence thus far to back up your hope. I am still in wait and see mode but I feel I've been in this mode the past 12 years. Call me a bit cynical about TNM. Nothing new right now that I am seeing.
 
Manny has the bark (lots of coach speak that sounds great). I’m concerned he might not have the bite (not qualified to deliver).

I’m hope like **** im wrong. We NEED him to be successful, but I’m VERY concerned at the moment. What I’ve seen these first two games have put the fear of god in me

Here's my take , when you put in the work and I'll steal a ROCKY movie phase I heard when the bald trainer said " with all your love with all your blood " may be off a little bit here but you get the message.
When you've trained physically till you drop in exhaustion and still crawl for more when your studying film and playbook till you doze off a sleep and wake up to do more.
Doing these things you raise your game to levels your competitor can't touch another quote Michael Irvin when asked about him not being fast enough back in the day his reply was " I'll run a 4.7 all day long and never stop" see this is the separation factor.

One more story YES I'M PUMPED , spoke years ago with Jim Mandich at a family wedding about what was it was like in the huddle with Dolphin greats in the 70's mad dog said something about looking at ZONKA with his nose pushed into the side of his face blood dripping covering his jersey and he's grumbling GIVE ME THE BALL, this again is the seperation factor now when your whole team is like this YOU DON'T GET BEAT.

Perhaps, but I'm fatigued with living in the past. We simply are poorly corched.

I feel where you coming from and respect that believe me and every other real fan with your same feelings. I'm talking bout them fairweather fans who act like they know how to fix what's wrong(like it's a overnight fix)cause they're so smarter than everyone else and they just spew negative **** every chance they get. I feel where you coming from though off top, I appreciate you understanding where I'm coming from.

Manny is doing an incredible job so far. Right now, it's not about results. It's about process. This team isn't winning anything, other than potentially the pathetic coastal, so the focus needs to be on sustained improvement.


The process is heading undeniably in the right direction:
-Incredible progress from the QB position. 71% completions after 2 away games vs solid P5 teams is incredible. We were at 50% in all games last year. This is a huge part of football and cannot be understated.
-OL is extremely young, yet is running the ball very well, and pass pro is improving quickly.
-Special teams remains a work in progress. But the fact he knows he personally has to fix it, and is therefore dedicating his time to it, is encouraging. The way he talks about it is also encouraging. You can see he clearly focuses on KPIs. This is how big-time managers solve problems in the real world: he has broken it down into its component parts, has defined success criteria for each of them (e.g. hidden yardage in punting), and is working towards solutions aligned with that success criteria.
-The recent changes to our recruiting policies were long over due.
-The way he talked about his decision-making processes for going for it on 4th downs and using timeouts was excellent. He is analytical, well-prepared, and knows how to apply theory to reality. He seems like the type of person that would excel in anything he does, be it coaching football, had he stayed at ESPN, or had he entered the business world.


Fans need to stop worrying about wins and losses. Results don't always track performance in the short-term - especially in close games. You need larger sample sizes for that to happen. The most respected analytical systems (Sagarin, FPI, S&P) all have us in the top 30. This is a solid young team headed in the right direction.

You managed to signal both a lack of intelligence and your homophobia in the same message. Nicely done.

Come on now. If I were homophobic, I'd have to be afraid of you and that ain't happening. As far as intelligence you have no clue. If I offended you I do apologize for my assumptions. Regardless of differing opinion we are both canes at end of day. You will always be swell in my book.
