I’m starting to see chatter about Diaz being fired and Mario addressing his team here shortly.
I agree that Manny has earned his pink slip.
But I also believe that UM treating him like this is beyond shitty. If you want to move on from him, fire him. Don’t wait for your guy to sign then fire him.
I believe in doing the right thing here - and UM (and so much of the business that is college football) no longer gives a shit.
I have no problem with Miami waiting until Mario signed to fire Diaz. Exactly what I would have done.
Of course, I never would have hired Diaz to be the HC without evaluating all the other potential candidates first.
Stupid Blake hired Manny mere hours after Richt retired and paid $4M to Temple to boot.
Why not? Manny probably preferred waiting so he could remain coach in case Cristobal didn’t work out.
Pretty sure manny’s buyout dropped on Dec 1
I’ve also read Manny’s buyout is more like $4M … Either way an absurd amount for a suck coach … and on top of the $4M they had to pay Temple to hire him in 2018 … GREAT JOB BLAKE!!!
