I have a feeling his name will be mentioned a lot during this off season as more coaches jobs open up. If I was looking for a HC I’d give him a call he’s been great at Miami

Funny how this guy has gone from awesome to shite to awesome about half a dozen times in the past few years it seems like.

If/when Lane Kiffin leaves, he seems like a natural fit at FAU

It was more of failure of Texas in general.
Seems like in the last couple years of Mack, half the team was undersized white kids at skill positions.

1. He had a head coach who wasn't interested in demanding accountability from players or other coaches.
2. He had a head coach that wasn't interested in running the type of physical practices that were necessary in his (Manny's) second year at Texas when the D was pretty young and inexperienced.
3. He had a DB coach that only wanted to coach man-to-man even though Manny's defense (especially his blitzes) required competent zone coaching and development.
I do wonder a bit about his chops as a LB position coach but his prior and subsequent stops haven't seemed to reveal the LB problems we had during his second and third years. Which was our LBs couldn't take on any block with the right shoulder or maintain good gap assignment.
But go look at Adrian Colbert - here's a guy who came to Texas with incredible measurables. Tall, rangy, 200m champ in high school. Then he couldn't get on the field under Strong (yes, I realize Manny was gone at that point) so he transfers to Miami (to be with Manny who had at least partly recruited him I think). The reasons given were that he was too stiff and couldn't change direction as a safety. So all Manny does is turn him into a corner who starts, gets drafted by the 49ers and is now playing a great deal I believe. I'm not sure if that's an indictment of Strong/Bedford or an example of Manny's wizardry but it is what it is.
A lot of Texas fans - especially Brown apologists - are just now coming around to the idea that it might not have been all Manny's fault.

Will be high on Gruden's list per the sports animal here in Knoxville.

From a cultural relationship standpoint, getting Manny Diaz, a Cuban-American whose father was once the mayor of Miami, to be Miami's DC was really a stroke of genius by Richt.
The fact that Diaz has developed a group of promising young defensive players so well is almost icing on the cake.

wasn't he the Mack Brown scapegoat?

Which any major program will see UM as his "dream school" whenever Richt retires.

If I was Ole Miss I would give him a call. He already has connections in Mississippi.

Probably have that the other way around.
If he sucked I don’t think him being Cuban ot the son of a Miami mayor would matter

He had a really good defense at USC. It was surprising to see him fail so bad at Texas and with what he is doing at Miami he does seem to be a pretty good coach and will get a shot somewhere if he wants it.

The most talented defense of Manny's career was his 2010 defense at Mississippi State.

Almost the entire defense played in the nfl and two of the starters are All NFL quality in Fletcher Cox and Darius Slay

If the Hunchback of Starkville gets another job, Diaz may be the choice at Moo State.
