I tend to give every coach the benefit of the doubt when they are hired. It's what they do AFTER they are hired that leads me to turn on them. For me with Diaz it was the minute he hired Dan Enos. That move told me all I needed to know about Manny Diaz. He thought by "stealing" a coach from Alabama it would give him some kind of street cred. He probably called his daddy. "Daddy, geth who I jutht hired!!! Dan Enoth from Alabama! I know, daddy, I know, I'm a big boy now!"
 
WTH is legit, dude has a way with words too.. this is funny in hindsight but not even close to his best work..

Now if u can find his Al Golden stuff and then the heel turn, OOOOOOWWWWWEEEEE.. Talking scorned lover type ****, good times in our never ending #forever7n5 nightmare

For every negative thread, you’d find 5 positive ones. People were all on the Diaz train. “Yo Manny showed up to the UM fundraiser on a yacht!” “Yo, Manny crashed the FSU coaching clinic! He’s a savage, bro!”. And then the 2019 season started and it fell apart.

You're conflating two different things. This thread was made when it looked like we would be stuck with Richt forever, given that he was just extended earlier that summer. Nowhere in this thread does it state he should be HC next season.

If you want to talk about the actual Diaz hire, 99% of this place was absolutely irate that we had just squandered an absolute gift the from the heavens of Richt walking for free.
 
@Liberty City El

Check out this exchange we had when Manny was hired.

I actually found out from you. I wasn’t paying attention to the regular media and I believe I was out of town.

…. I think getting your mind set on hiring an offensive guy is a mistake. Hire the best head coach you can get, including as a recruiter. The rest can take care of itself if you hire a good coordinators.

No more quick fixes to solve last week’s problem.

Take your time and don’t worry about someone being a schematic genius.

In the thread, the OP literally says this: "I want to highlight the 4 main areas where he excels, which also to me are the 4 main reasons why he needs to be the next head coach, and given that title so we can retain him".

Miami's last game in 2018 was November 24th and the OP was made the next day on November 25th. This post is OBVIOUSLY pointing to Manny taking over as the next head coach of Miami and calling for Richt to be fired or resign. The OP is 100% calling for Diaz to be the next head coach at Miami.

I'll repeat: it never says he should be HC next season.

Again, Mark Richt was fresh off an extension and was revered by all the Hecht as some legendary SEC coach and could've stayed here as long as he wanted. I think OP's main intention was keeping Manny as DC so as we don't lose him and also having him be groomed for a few more years.
 
I hope one day we dont look back and regret replacing manny no matter what happened on the field we were always offseason champs.

Dude, the context of the post was wasting Miami's talent on defense with a poor as **** Richt-led offense. The OP was made the DAY AFTER THE SEASON. "I think his main intention was keeping Manny as DC so we don't lose him".....incorrect. the OP's main intention was making Manny HC. He says it in the actual article that he wrote two times. First, Manny needs to be our next head coach obviously implying Richt needs to be replaced by him, and then giving him the actual HC in waiting title before the bowl game.

You are the ONLY person reading the OP as if the author of it didn't endorse Manny as the next HC at Miami. That should tell you a lot. Read the room.

Y’all act like this is predictable. There was a point, probably in the midst of some off season. 99% of the board thought Manny could be the guy. You couldn’t even say anything negative without getting lynched.

Last night as I stuffed my face with its 15th turkey dinner of the weekend, I sat back and in between gravy burps began reflecting on both this season and the state of the progrum.

My mind eventually gravitated toward the defense. I thought about what a dominant unit these guys turned out to be. A defensive line tossing OLinemen around like circus midgets. Our entire defense continuously living in the backfield. The 2nd best total defense in this beautiful nation of ours.

But then I got sad. I got ****ed. Manny Diaz and his guys just produced a championship level defense all for naught. We finally had a Miami caliber defense and we turned it into 7 wins. A unit full of foaming-at-the-mouth savage killers, and the best Richt could do was hand them an offense that looked like a flag football team for a mentally disabled nursing home.

I’ll tell ya what, bubs — I was disgusted. I was angry. I’m talking spitting mad. This defense represented everything Miami Hurricanes football all season and got nothing in return. But then I got happy. I got hopeful. A slow smile crept across my face like the Grinch when he decides to ransack Christmas from those little weirdos. We’ve been dying for a young, innovative, aggressive coach who can both motivate his players but also adapt. We want an intellectual guy that can adjust and gets the progrum.

Well my friends, this leads me to my official endorsement: Manny Diaz should, no, NEEDS to be named the head coach in waiting by tomorrow.

I want to highlight the 4 main areas where he excels, which also to me are the 4 main reasons why he needs to be the next head coach, and given that title so we can retain him.

1. He Adapts

- I don’t know if many of you were like me last season, spending several 3rd downs screaming at the field or your television while teams converted on us. Our linebackers backpedaling into zones like clueless cavemen. We were flat out bad last year on 3rd down.

- What does Manny do? Well like the new waiver of hotshot bright young coaches, he adapts. He doesn’t blame execution; or players; or a cloud— no, he adapts. He retooled his defense. He created an entirely new position on his defense to walked down his tweener safeties and get more speed on the field. He basically went spread for his defense.

The result? His unit went from 75th in NCAAF on 3rd downs to ... 1st. That’s right. He went into the lab and spent several nights with a cafe con leche and a chalkboard and he realized he had a problem and fixed it. And boy did he fix it. From 75th to best in the country.

Manny is cerebral enough to idenitify and fix issues on his defense. He can adapt. A huge sign of a great coach.


2. Leadership

- Younger guys like me might usually laugh at this unquantifiable idea of leadership as a remaining footballism from the Bill Parcells caveman days. In an era all about analytics and numbers, where does this fit? We’ll follow me into Manny Diaz land and I’ll show ya, pal.

- It’s no secret this defense hated the offense. We basically had two brothers out at a bar trying to pick up women. The defense was Brad Pitt and the offense was Steve Buschemi. The defense spent the entire season being given no time to rest on the sideline, horrible field position, and zero points to fall back on. They could never rest or let up or the games would be over.

If ever there was a time for a unit to be justified in their frustration or exhaustion, it was the defense this season. But miraculously, under Manny’s leadership, his guys didn’t quit. Didn’t dog it. Didn’t mail it in. Despite everything they went out every series and hunted like a pack of deranged wolves for their coach. Their refusal to quit even while having to lug around this hideous offense is a testament to Manny’s ability to lead and inspire. He’s a high energy aggressive badass and that attitude trickles down and permeates his entire defense. Coaches who stand on the sideline with liverspots and looked confused are not what Miami needs. No, it needs a chinstrap-clad Miami Bro who screams at his defense in Spanglish and invented the **** turnover chain.

Manny is a leader.

3. Aggressive

- As previously stated before, Manny is aggressive. Check the tackle for loss numbers, or just watch our defense. There is no bend don’t break attitude. It is simply break. His goal is to destroy your offense and break their bones and will. In just 3 years we’ve gone from a “Wefense” that day back and let the action be dictated to them, to a guy in Manny who has his defense throwing a punch while the other fighter is still attempting to touch gloves.

Miami was built on speed and a bad attitude. Look no further than our defense’s mindset and scheme to see that Manny has been a perfect fit. This attitude needs to be found throughout our entire program. I have no doubts Manny would bring this attitude to both sides of the ball and on the recruiting trail. And most importantly, with his offensive coordinator hire. Manny is a ping aggressive high IQ guy. He would bring in a Kendal Briles or similar and we’d have an offense looking to score 70 a game with no let up.

Aggression is a mindset that needs to come from the top and infect the entire program. From janitorial staff to players. Under Manny, our secretaries would be headbutting when they clock out.

4. He’s a Miami guy

- This is a notion I always hated. But I think the reason I hated it was because it was the prerequisite of many of our fans for a head coach. Miami fans wanted to filter out anyone without Miami ties, but that was a mistake. The Miami guy association should be just an added bonus. We have that with Manny.

- Manny is a Miami Cuban who knows this city and the area. The 3 facts above are why he should be HCIW, this 4th one is merely a bonus. With a young aggressive guy like Manny with ties to the area, you’re gonna get a monster on the recruiting trail, along with someone who knows what a great Miami program should look like. But again, it comes in the package of a young, intelligent head coach.

Manny is basically the final figure on the Mario Cristobal evolutionarily chart. Let Mario throw his own ***** at helicopters and stick his head in a beehive while Manny listens to Bach and draws up his gameplan for the bowl. The Canes don’t need a Miami guy, they need a great coach. Manny happens to be the perfect and rare combo of both.


For all the reasons laid out above, and the fact that we must retain him, it is imperative that Blake James dismount himself from his favorite artificial ***** and name Manny Diaz the head coach in waiting. If this upsets Richt, good. Go board the TOPS bus and head to a retirement home. We must do what’s best for the progrum.

Like FSU naming Jimbo the HCIW under their senile ruler, they also did what was best for them. Their aggressive hotshot coordinator worked out pretty well for them. It is time for us to not let such a talent slip away. Several great head coaches right now we’re coordinators just before getting their first gig with no stop in the middle. Jimbo, Frost, Dabo, Kirby.

Miami Hurricanes: do the right thing. Fire up the pastelitos, blast the Celia Cruz, and break out the chinstraps and fat asses.

Manny is Miami.
Miami is Manny.
Make it happen.
