Stand By Your Man

OK, yes, I'll admit it: I have been a little a little overly critical and even somewhat negative when it comes to the recent hiring of new head coach Manny Diaz as "The Man" for the University of Miami football program. 

But now that I have gotten that out of my system I have firmly decided to stand behind Coach Diaz and his selection of the new staff.

So far Diaz has apparently selected but UM has not officially announced new Defensive Coordinator Blake Baker. Baker would take over the UM defense that was so successful under Diaz. Diaz and Miami did announce that David Feely has been officially hired as Director of Strength. Miami fans are waiting patiently yet with great anticipation for the announcement of the Offensive Coordinator and the entirely new staff on the offensive side of the ball.

So from now on, and until at least after the first game of the 2019 season in August against the Florida Gators, I will stand behind Manny "The Man" Diaz as head coach at the University of Miami.

Go Canes, Go Manny...Beat the Gators!

Any Major Dude Would Tell You

So the breaking news today is that new head coach Manny Diaz has hired Major Applewhite as the Offensive Coordinator at the University of Miami. I know I promised to be positive from now on, but this decision got me to thinking.

According to "sources" it appears that Larry may have left his Fedora at the stadium in North Carolina and was not available after that incident occurred. Hey, who can blame the former Head Coach for not taking a step-down job to be an OC for a first year head coach in Coral Gables?

Hate to say I told all of you know it alls so...BUT you know that I told you so.

It is now rumored that Miami will score as many points as they need to win any game they play next year and every year after that. If this is true then I, and we, are all behind this incredibly great decision by Manny Diaz.

A great way to start this new relationship off is IF Miami scores more points than Florida in the first game of next season. I, along with many Canespacers, will be at that game in Orlando to cheer on Manny Diaz and his team.

The score will be noted and if the outcome is in favor of the team we love wearing the orange and green vs the team we hate wearing the orange and blue then that will do just fine thank you very much. Then beat FSU.

Go Canes, Go Manny, Go Major!
