Whole lot to unpack here....
"If you were getting recruited and you had to chose between coach diaz or coach frost who you choosing. "
Scott Frost has proven much more as an HC than Diaz has. No one would argue otherwise. However, he currently has a 9-15 record as a P5 coach. That includes losses to teams like troy, purdue, indiana and northwestern; it's not like he has 15 losses because they've all been against Ohio State and Wisconsin. Yes, I'd unquestionably rank him ahead of Diaz on my HC chart. Well ahead. But I'm not going to crown him as some amazing HC in perpetuity because he was able to build a good team in Orlando that beat Memphis and Houston and Tulane over and over and over. His credit for that diminishes every day while the basis to judge him shifts more and more to his time in Lincoln. As it stands now, his time in Lincoln has been utterly dreadful. He has ONE win you could even try and argue is a marquee win in two seasons there: beating a mediocre MSU team 9-6 at home, tho that MSU team finished 7-5 and unranked. Take the Sparty name away and even that wouldn't be a noteworthy. So no, I don't at all think he's made for life. I think he made his TICKET to the big leagues and has yet to prove a **** thing at that level. But that doesn't mean I'm saying Manny is better than him; they have nothing to do with each other.
"This is why it was foolish for many on here and dumb *** flake james to try and tell coach richt WTF he should be doing. Coach richt's credibilty and track record spoke for itself, what he did here in 3 short years was beautiful."
That's a strange take. LOVE me some Coach Mark Richt! Wonderful man and once a fantastic HC. However, the game had passed him by and he refused to adapt. Keeping his son as QB coach (****, ever making him QB coach in the first place) was indictable. Period. Refusing to hire an OC and modernize the offense was indefensible. I appreciate what CMR did for us, and I am no hater by any means, but no the solution was not for the admin to let CMR do whatever he wanted. We tried that, and it didn't work.
"what he did here in 3 short years was beautiful"
In terms of on the football field, it was one strong finish, one nice bowl win, then a **** of a 10 game run that the reality is was fueled a lot of luck (unsustainable turnover ratio) and actually proved to be fools' gold. The end of CMR's tenure at Miami was an abject failure. There's simply no other way to try and package it.
LoL, no matter what frost record is in just 2 shorts years, he's already proven he's builder. Now going from a Florida school to cornhusker territory, it may take him a lil while cause that program has to be built from the ground up. The same thing coach richt had to do, his 2nd year was only "fool's Gold" to those who dont know football, when in reality, it was just a **** of a coaching job. The people complaining about coach richt not hiring an oc and having his son as the qb coach didnt know football either, in comes coach enos and several offensive stats have gotten worst and even 1 i believe is dead last. If anybody was paying attention to the team, they would know that a drop-off was coming, and with the injuries and the o-linemen lost, it was just comical to read people talking as if a dominant o-line can be put together overnight. The o-line and qb situation was a result and direct failure of the penn disgrace moron regime. Coach richt was on the verge of getting the majority of the problems solved, but those who say coach richt was a failure and the game had passed him by are being foolish, cause in his 1st 2 seasons here all he did was:
Went 9 & 4 and win the 1st bowl game in around 10 years
Upgraded the talent: Ahmon offensive freshman all everything
Next: njoku became a 1st round
Also: brevin jordan, all freshman everything
Brought the 4-3 defense back to Miami
15 game winning streak
Team ranked as high as #2 in the nation
First True Coastal division champs
First ACC championship game appearance
College Coach of the year
Got robbed by the refs in the bowl game against wisconsin
IPF initiated and completed
That's 2 years worth of work, so all of a sudden in year 3, with less mature offensive talent, and a season of film on rosier, and trying to light a fire under perry and all of a sudden people screaming moronic **** about the somehow now has passes him by, lol. Incomes diaz with enos already, and as soon as people started hearing about motion and this and that, the fake UM fans started right away bashing coach richt but somehow immediately praising the new jackazz oc. And than to make matters worst, all offseason, they had will "hasnt done **** in college" mallory doing several interviews about how much better this offense was, and the motions and this and that, people were foolishly eating that up and i kept asking back than, who TF is mallory to be doing all thus talking, he has done a damyum thing so what TF does he know. If he was so smart, he would've redshirted, but he sfor some reason wasnt to bright to realize he wasnt physically ready like brevin, consistently getting his *** manhandled in the run game. So now the facts are in, the offense and qb play was below average. But the fake UM fans were just happy to see coach richt leave, set this program back another year or 2.
