that Dorito wasn't fired already. I figured it would have been announced by this morning.


Manny Diaz got himself on the hot seat after his 2012 campaign, where he finished ranked:

Total Defense - 67th
Scoring Defense - 73rd



Dorito also enjoyed a rather interesting 2012 season, posting these record-breaking numbers:

Total Defense - 116th
Scoring Defense - 83rd


Diaz was fired this season after allowing 600+ yards of offense and 40 points to BYU.


Dorito is on a 3-game streak for the ages:

517 yards, 41 points
549 yards, 42 points
543 yards, 48 points


All on the heels of a season of ineptitude in 2012, where he produced the worst defense in the history of Hurricanes football. Any big time BCS program that cared about winning would have announced his firing by now.

I think Golden is in an awkward situation of his own making. Mixing business and close friends is bad for business, and bad for friendships. I wonder is Al is a good enough CEO to make the right business decision. He owes his loyalty and efforts to his employer, not his pal.
 
Kinda "hard" to fire someone when
1) you wouldn't do anything different - it's your system
2) they're your best friend
3) you truly believe your own BS about "sanctions" and talent and every other excuse

Golden sucks. A horrible game manager and a horrible judge of coaching talent.

Mack Brown cares about Texas more than Al Tin cares about UM. UM needs to step in and lay it out for him. Time for Blake James to have a loser leaves town bench off with Duh.
 
TBH he should have been fired right after the game or this morning but I knew just as well as everyone else that wasnt going to happen.

Golden has succesfully completed a heel turn. I fully expect him to wheel Duke out to the middle of the field and take a steel chair to his ankle pre-game, then spray paint DORITO over Johnson's back.

In reality, my friend who went to Duke has no idea how the guy isn't fired. Their offense is nowhere near as good as the Blue Devil defense.

I think Coach D resigns after the Pitt game.. leaving AG to be the DC for the bowl game.
 
mack brown doesn't give a **** about manny diaz he's just a a guy who's supposed to make the defense better and if he doesn't you get rid of him no hard feelings just business.
Dorito is best friends with Al...you know how the old saying goes, never mix personal life with professional life

Yeap, for everyone's sake, Blake needs to be all AD right now. Al has painted himself into corner. If James fires Mark, Al can give his BFF a hug and say I did all I could. Mark can say face in future interviews saying he was the scapegoat(If your BFF fires you, there are no future interviews). This is no longer about Golden, he has screwed himself. Now it becomes James' career move. If he doesn't make move, he will be hunting for a new HC by the end of next year. THE U needs Al to stay but not with Mark. Blake has to man up and save Al's career. That is the proper pressure point in this. James not Al.

Not going to happen. It's Golden's call. Cannot allow the AD to start making personnel decisions for the coach - no matter how obvious. Up until now, Golden has gotten a major pass because of the state of the program he inherited. But giving up 48 to Duke is simply inexcusable - regardless of how inexperienced or thin our talent pool could be. We clearly have problems on D that go beyond talent. It's Golden's job to fix it. Will be interesting to see if (and how) he does it.
 
Now plug in our 2001 Defensive players to Dorito's game plan, how many games do we lose? Now plug in today's kids on D into the 2001 teams defense. How many games does that 2001 team lose now. It's much more on the players than the coaches. Those kids on the 2001 team would have dominated, didn't matter who was coaching them or who they were playing. We have average or below average players on D this year, we have to deal with it, the truth hurts. Will some be better next year? Probably!
