Manny Diaz new PSU Defensive coordinator

[Nitt1300]

A really, really bad game following a totally horrible season..........

you didn't answer my question

Has Al ever been a DC?

yes, but he had some bad games

 

[JBott]

please list the coordinators who have never had a bad game in their career - I'll forward the list to CJF immediately

Some sanity! Thank you…….

[Nitt1300]

And the relevance of your question is?

dodging and weaving? just answer it. it was a simple enough question

 

[JBott]

Where was Al the DC? I’m not arguing just don’t remember where and I’ve followed his career closely!
Thanks…….

 

[GrimReaper]

Damn.

Save that for when he gets here. Heard he's still trying to recover from the OSU-UM game, a 3.5 hour grand mal experience for him.

Ok, I don't know.

 

[JBott]

At UVa for five years.

Thanks! How did I forget that!

Did you watch the Illinois game? Pry got a promotion and a handsome raise to HC after that deal. Were you happy with Pry, Art?

I was much happier with Pry than watching an obvious injured QB left in to take a beating because we didnt have a back up ready

So you whould have fired CJF and hired Pry to replace him? This is getting confusing.

I think we can find plenty of blame for the Illinois fiasco. I would agree that if you can hold a team to 18 points you should be able to win a game. not sure we didn't have a QB ready, because 3 weeks later we seemed to have a QB who was more than ready. If Clifford had not gotten hurt, he might have been allowed to just stay in the game.

Instant impact:

"Diaz joined Mark Richt's Miami staff as defensive coordinator in 2016 and led an impressive turnaround to the unit in his first season. The Hurricanes ranked fifth nationally in tackles for loss (up from 105th in 2015), tied for eighth in touchdowns allowed (up from 61st), ninth in yards allowed per play (up from 86th), 12th in scoring defense (up from 77th), 20th in total defense (up from 69th) and 22nd in sacks (up from 70th). Miami was the only team in the country to start three true freshmen linebackers that season - Zach McCloud, Michael Pinckney and Shaquille Quarterman."

He Didnt...it was similar to Belicheck and the Jets....got the Job offer and Miami offered him the HC job and he reneged on Temple.

Big difference is that Diaz told Temple in his interview that if Miami called he was going. Hard to fault the guy being upfront.

Guess who dropped from No. 7 in scoring defense in 2019 to No. 55 in 2020.
