And Manny had defenses that got easily exposed at timesWhich makes for an interesting question.
Manny’s primary downfall was accumulated failures in talent acquisition at linebacker and the secondary. His early use of the transfer portal helped in the latter, but ultimately he was still affected by high school recruiting misses. Had the portal coupled with NIL existed during his tenure at Miami throughout his tenure, might he still be here today? Offensive line was a huge problem his first year - Manny would have targeted that prior to the start of the 2019 season. Ditto with linebacker. He would have also pushed for a veteran transfer portal quarterback to come in as opposed to relying on a redshirt freshman.
