T-Rob and DVD appreciation post!

Advertisement
I share this thought with respect to DVD but If T-Rob is this much of an elite recruiter, does Díaz reconsider hiring him as a DC next year, assuming our Secondary improves, next season? At risk of a knee jerk reaction, I would do everything in my power to keep him around. Should be interesting.

If T-Rob can hold on to the 3 CB's and even possibly add a 4th like Singletary, plus 1 or 2 top notch safeties to haul in arguably the best secondary class in the country in his first year, I would seriously consider a promotion to Co-DC next off-season. I know it's premature, but if the secondary plays well and he continues to recruit like this, you must do everything in your power to keep him for at least a couple more years. Have T-Rob be heavily involved in the defensive strategy this season to get him ready. The head coach calling plays and running the defense can't be a long-term recipe for success (Manny isn't a Lincoln Riley-type guru XO's guy), but maybe you could pair Shoop and T-Rob next season. DVD will have a year under his belt and won't need as much hand-holding, then hire a beast recruiter for the safety room (or maybe move Ish over, he mainly played safety during his career?). T-Rob will not be a position coach for much longer, schools will come calling with DC and/or HC (smaller school) offers very soon. He will be 40 at the start of the season so still a young coach, but I'm sure he has much greater ambitions. I hope we can convince him that he will grow as a defensive coach here with a path toward becoming full-time DC, match his salary expectations - and he gets to live in his hometown and recruit South Florida as the home team. Plus he has some young children, I'm sure he doesn't want to keep moving them around every year or so. I haven't felt this confident in a position group in a long time.

More importantly, let's keep him away from other schools. I would hate to recruit against him if let's say god forbid FSU offered him full-time DC or another place like UF, UGA, LSU, etc.

Lol. I’m trying to find thicker chicks that we all could be ok with. Here’s the real version. I might have to go full on fat the next time.

Manny seems to have the ears of the BOT and the boosters and has gotten them to loosen up the purse strings…it’s time we stepped up when we get a coach like this to stop the SEC or some other wealthy school from poaching them.

if we can somehow keep this staff together and can hire a LBer coach who has credentials and can recruit Manny just might pull this off and get us back to the top after all.

say what you want but Manny has done most everything right when it comes to recruiting being as we really haven’t done much on the field to fall back on to show recruits.Whatever he is doing and he and the staff are telling these kids it’s one **** of a sales job.His game day coaching will come around with experience and if he has enough good/great coaches around him they will keep him from fcking up.

if Larry Coker can win a NC then I don’t doubt Manny Diaz can.Just keep loading the team up with studs and hiring good/great coaches/recruiters.
