Sometimes things have to be seriously corrected.
Sometimes things have to be completely changed.
Sometimes things have to be totally blown up.
And sometimes leaders are forced to implement the nuclear option.
New Hurricane head coach Manny Diaz seized the day and pushed the big red button on the University of Miami offensive football staff.
When he was done there was not a single member standing or anywhere within a 100 mile radius of the Coral Gables campus.
And we here at Canespace like that.
Yes, we like that a lot.
BOOM!

Soup/WWIN,
So far so good? I have a feeling Manny is the guy to get us over the hump. He will be Mark's Kirby Smart at Miami.
I said previously his fires on the offensive side of the ball would give a clear indication of he thought of Mark's offense. I'm ready for the Gaytors in Orlando.

I’m behind our new coach even if I won’t give up being baffled at how and when it all happened. I LOVE the firings. Sends the perfect message immediately with no room for misinterpretation. LOVE that it’s also a message directed at the players... get your sh_t together or you’ll be sent packing also!

GD trying to blob cop for his owner Fake Lames as usual, EAD and choke on it, we know Fake Lames won't be able to cut off the air supply so better go whole hog on the overpromoted coordinator at the same time too.
"LOL at Blake James - I would have expected a search that took more than yelling down the hallway....
Posted by: CGNC | January 01, 2019 at 10:10 AM"
Fake Lames can't find his ass with both hands without GD's lips helping him by kissing it so he isn't searching for anything but a place to hide to keep his peter principle over promoted ticket distributor useless ass from being dismissed so he can keep stealing paychecks from the moronic bots. Great investment, cheap ass losers!
Here's a moron who sucked at coaching running his gums about a player who sucked at playing, good thing fatso went all the way north to get him on the roster taking up space for no payoff, if you're GD at least!
"Wide receivers coach Brennan Carroll on Cager: "Lawrence is a long athletic, four-sport athlete that has size and athleticism.""
The sid-tard slurpings will continue until the cupcake FCS team is paid to lose in order to pretend to have an over .500 football team for the year!

No doubt, Perry has talent, but I have rarely seen a player who lacks so much maturity, stability, understanding, awareness, dedication and focus —at such a critical position as QB.
The Canes new OC needs to begin by getting the QB position figured out in a hurry. UF Coach Dan Mullin set the standard in QB development this season when he turned Franks into an solid SEC QB, not just smoke and mirrors. The Canes have the talent, but that talent is wasted if it never shows itself in the Fall on Saturdays
Posted by: BigWindyCane | January 01, 2019 at 12:01 PM
Happy New Year Legion/Canespace. I will take a different approach on Coach/Mayor Diaz (CMD) cleaning house. If this was solely decided on by CMD, then kudos to him for having the b@lls to make the tough call.
HOWEVER, if the decision to let those coaches go was a contingent on him taking the position, then maybe it was not too hard for him to relay the message and them all go on the offensive side. Therefore, this does not make him look like the bad guy because, this move was out of his hands and he can then save face with those coaches released.
In short, this could have been a call/demand by the AD or the BOT after the embarassing loss and CMR was unwilling to pull the trigger; especially since he would have had to terminate his own son and former player T. Brown, but also Ron Duggans, whom he had asked to stay at the U after being offered the Florida State receiver job this year.
Just my take, an ol school Legionnaire keeping it real.
Posted by: Alex D | January 01, 2019 at 12:02 PM
LOL... AfriCane bringing the aggression into 2019! My wish is for our Miami Hurricanes foosball team to play as pissed off on the field as AfriCane is on this Blob! I got your back AfriCane on different opinions. May not agree but there’s way too much group-think here.

So its still been 15 going on 16 years.
Heck, I am behind MD......it was not done right, but its done. I am not happy with the BOT or AD but I will let that lie as it is done!
We just got to give MD a shot.....sure started out strong and aggressive, so we will see!!!

Posted by: ColaCane | January 01, 2019 at 02:40 PM
I think the D will be pretty good.....not much depth in the secondary, but that may surprise us.
Will he keep Rumph? has anyone heard....he should be a good recruiter as he was a real Cane!!!!! He played on the greatest team of all time in college!!!!
I would be using that, having my brothers help me recruit and get some real players!!!!....but he may be gone....anyone?
The O will have some backs....but QB is ?
Perry does not work for me....seen enough on and off the field....right CGNCPa?! forget the porn star!!!!
The line will be a big concern.....got to get big mean strong and hateful.....too much flab and slow feet....got to be better!
WRs we will see!!
Schedule is manageable.....UF I dont know....low score D game? mmmm.....
We can win a fair number of games....If we went 6-6 or 7-5.....gift....anything more I would be very pleased....for first year.....
UCF real undisciplined but hanging in there....cost themselves with a personal foul....but decent game....hard to listen to EO....but I like his next man up keep playing...he does not make excuses.....like the 4 Horsemen of the UM Apocalypse did.....I fell than MD will not make excuses....he will work to win....

Canes Warning
There are several rumors that Defensive line coach and previously Associate Head Coach Jess Simpson and Cornerbacks Coach Mike Rumph could be next.
Simpson is not much of a surprise. Although he worked under Diaz on defense, Simpson knew Richt from being a high school Head Coach in the Atlanta area while Richt was the Head Coach at Georgia.
Posted by: solarcane | January 01, 2019 at 07:03 PM
I thought Simpson did a great job! But like coach Kool - can’t recruit
