FC: Manny Diaz reportedly interviews for Duke job

It doesn't matter relative to your comment "As soon as a coach has an 8-4 record, they look to leave."
He had an 8-4 record multiple times and didn't leave, so your comment makes zero sense.
To be fair, Cutcliffe wasn’t an up and coming, young coach looking to climb the ladder when he took the Duke job. He had been around for quite some time and seemed content to settle in at Duke.
You may be on to something. When they hired Connor, I felt like he was going to be groomed for a higher position in the future. He has success coaching defense at previous stops. He started climbing the coaching ladder at smaller schools a few years ago.
I don’t have a dog in the race. I just think Cutcliffe finally got a HC job and was content to stay no matter what.
As I said, I don’t have a side. Not here to argue. Just my 2 cents. I don’t really care what either arguments points are.
Yeah, sorry about thatI was down there on business about five years ago, and I was nearly always greeted with, “Go f*ck yourself.”
Well, 80% of Duke undergrads are from Jersey, so…
Having spent 15 years at Duke (as a grad student and then as faculty), I think it’s a good move for everyone.
What did Elko do? What did Spurrier do? If you have aspirations of competing for conference titles or playoff births, Duke isn't the place in football.
Do you see Diaz and Cutcliff as having similar approaches to coaching?
He said it’s not you it’s me as he got on the jet . So kind .I hope he tweets that he hates us on his way out.

I don’t believe him. It’s us.
If it is Dex , i hope he learned some things from Manny in his two years. Manny is a good coach , his experience in the ACC will help recruiting at Duke. I don't get any vibe good or bad about Dex, except the safeties took a leap since he's here.Prank phone calls are toll free
As far as LB coach, i don't have the slightest idea. Syracuse with their new HC, DC and recruiting coordinator seems to target NJ and everything north , but it's Syracuse.
To honor Manny, PSU should not play defense at the Peach Bowl.
Well I suspect Mississippi will be much better than 10 of the 12 teams PSU played this year….by far!
He's correct. Ole Miss would be 8 to 10 pt favorite over Maryland and West Virginia (neutral field) who are probably our best opponents after Um and Osu.Yawn.

Because defensive coordinator is a very important position on a football team.
You are right. Duke is a great football program. Almost .500 record all time.
Good for Manny. He wanted his own team and he got it. I hope he does well. He did a hell of a job for us and will be really hard to replace.
I'd put Iowa in that category too. 10 wins in the Big Ten--even being in the west, is pretty good, even though we stomped them.
I wonder whom Manny will try to poach from this staff.....
Seider and Poindexter are two names that come to mind who could be promised OC and DC positions.

Franklin’s lost the coaching room.
This is my hope. I thought it was key that if PSU lost Manny that JF must keep Poindexter as DC and not let him go to JMU or with Manny. Add Conner as LB coach and I like it.
