except that never seems to happen round these partsI would sacrifice the entire class if it means we get the HC and AD moves right

I care about both. Having one **** class significantly impacts the next coaches ability to rebuild the roster.Call me crazy but I really don't care about recruits right now I just want us to get our front office and coaching staff in order.
Kids already leaving and no ones been fired... so F it fire em all....I would sacrifice the entire class if it means we get the HC and AD moves right
Can’t blame him but it hurts. Why recruit press man corners when you play a soft zone.Was going to happen whether we keep Manny or not. Kid aint stupid and he won’t be the last one.
Thank uI care about both. Having one shot class significantly impacts the next coaches ability to rebuild the roster.
The fan base wanted what? Have another crappy season & see a potential great class fall apart? I’m sure that was top priority on every “fans” list.Hey, this is what the fan base wanted so . . . .
I hate Manny so muchCan’t blame him but it hurts. Why recruit press man corners when you play a soft zone.
You make too much sense. Gonna put you on “Ignore”But here’s the thing, my brotha…
When I see the spread sheet of allocated finances, and see Diaz costing this program $9m+ in yr one, that let’s us know it’s not just being cheap, but it also is linked to bad decision making.
My grandfather, before he passed away, was notoriously cheap, & I hate to say this, but he was a slumlord due to his frugal ways. I used to beg him to stop being cheap b/c he’s losing $ by constantly trying to fix the band aid fixtures, and tenants moving out. In his latter yrs, we estimated that dude lost upwards of $250k (no b.s) in lost rents, the inability to increase rents to keep up w/ cost of living due to the conditions of the bldg, & multiple times trying to fix the same problems. To save $1, he lost $250k.
The University continues to try to be cheap, and if they realized spending $1 to hire quality coaches, they would make $10, they would be so much further ahead. It’s a concept that I’m not sure they will get, until they have an infrastructure committed to both academics & athletics. Resting on their laurels, while continuing to monetize off the past will lead to further degradation of the program.
James needs to be fired asapU know what’s funny @Dwinstitles,
In the off season, we were told to wait patiently, that the staff have a new recruiting strategy; they’re only taking commits from guys who wanna be here. They have a board of prioritizing certain players & r not quick to rush into getting commitments.
Then we got a couple of blue chip guys from out of state, and we were told “if blue chip player A wants in, we’ll make room for him, but the class is filling up w/ silent commits.” Then, a couple of more guys committed, and we were told all these So Fla 5 star guys wanted in. That was pre-season.
Now, the proverbial mopes, they were a little hesitant to buy in to the hype b/c they’ve seen this story before…now on October 11, 2021, it’s “this class was never going to be good anyway.” Lol.
I’m going to say something that I said in a Golden thread once upon a time; if u retain Manny longer than his shelf life, it’s going to be more detrimental than good. However, there’s one caveat…this team has to have a plan in place now. The first move, HAS to be relieving James of his duties. This has been an epic fail from both a financial & production from this hire, and this was ALL him.
Last 5 coaches first 29 games:
Coker: 28-1
Shannon: 15-14
Golden: 18-11
Richt: 21-8
Diaz: 16-13
The commonality w/ Shannon & Diaz is eerily similar in a lot of ways, EXCEPT one guy was hired internally, while the other guy was bought out to return, just to place us right back into mediocrity. That’s y James HAS to go.
Better this class then next…You're probably right, but how does firing Manny today change any of this? You're not hiring anyone until after the season. Kids are still going to decommit. So I really don't see the benefit other than making some public stance, which I'm not sure the folks in charge care much about making.
Diaz losing games and the team looking like a joke is why. Who’s been fired?Y'all want to fire the entire athletic department (and I can't really argue against it). Well, this is what happens when you do. Remember, firing coaches in 2021 is more painful than it was in the past due to ESD. You used to be able to fire a coach after Thanksgiving and hire someone in December and salvage a class. All the timing is now moved up. So, firing Manny and everyone else and not hiring a new coach until December/January essentially kills an entire class.
Knew he was to elite to come here lol huge loss and let the dominoes begin. This class will be the worst class in a long time. Dead end job for the next HC.....he is going to go through ****.
