Give him time. He's building a program the right way.

im good with it as long as his teams are staying consistent, hard to stay happy with a coach who beats a ranked team one week and loses to the worst in the coastal the next. I’m very happy with the last two wins, now that needs to carry to next week against Louisville

By not recruiting? Dude is horrible at recruiting so far in his career.

He's done a terrific job at recruiting. We consistently have young guys on defense showing how good they are. If it weren't for all of our LBs getting hurt at pretty much the same time, our defense would be loaded with depth right now.

But the thing he does best is get guys to work harder and become better. He may not get the 5* recruits but stars are overrated anyway. How many 18 year old kids are done growing and ready to play football at an elite level? Not many. The best coaches develop players and so far he's done a very good job at that. Just look at Rousseau this year. The guy played WR and S in high school and is now dominating at DE.
 
THis Saturday will tell us EVERYTHING we need to know. We always seem to drop the next game after FSU for whatever reason. If they don't then we might be looking at something special right here. I will say it now...IF (and that is a big IF) things bounce right and we end up winning the Coastal...we play that way the rest of the way, we will beat Clemson. We have the talent to do it.

I know one thing...This Diaz is really feeling himself today in interviews...When's the book come out coach?

Let's get ready for the Ville, save the commentary...We've lost to a similar caliber team in VT, were beaten by a far inferior team in GT, and won by 5 against another far inferior team in CMU. ALL ON THIS FIELD OUR HOME FIELD.

Ville all offense, no defense...And satterfield gonna have some **** ready off a bye because he is very good. This game will see if we've grown up...We don't do the whole "workmanlike" thing real well and handle neither success or failure very well, and haven't for a few years now. I wouldn't want to play UM in a big game, but we can almost lose every other "non big" game we play (besides a Bethune type, et)

Looking back at Manny's entire career, he has underachieved at recruiting at every stop. Look at his recruiting history as DC at UT.

Last Saturday showed that despite how bad FSU is, we are capable of playing (and playcalling) a lot better than we have been. Based on our remaining schedule and what I've seen we SHOULD NOT lose any of the three remaining games. Our potential has proven itself to be more reality and now Manny has to keep it going.
 
Two letters: OL. Jarren made some **** nice throws Saturday, but that was because he had time for plays to develop and step into his throws. I watched the OL all game, and they did a nice job keeping Jarren off the dirt. And they created some nice lanes for DJ.

If our OL comes to play each week on out, we can easily go 3-0 down the stretch.
 
I've said this all year the problems with this team is more then just coaches a lot of it seems like soft players and effort lacking. The big games you see them boys fighting like going to battle and then the boring games they sleepwalk and that's a team thing. Manny is slowly getting that rhythm and I hope he keeps it up

idk what happened in that team meeting, but whatever did happen, it got the guys to fight and keep fighting. two straight road games after the tech win and coming out with wins is impressive consdering how this year had looked. manny has to win out at this point.
