Meh. 
There really wasn’t anyone else? Is this guy really gonna get the players at the Armwoods of the world pumped to play for USF? 

Someone with TB recruiting connections should’ve been one of the top priorities for this hire. Instead, we hired someone with none. Wtf

FAU gets Tom Herman and we get UT’s Tight Ends coach.

THESE are the kind of decisions that make our little brothers overpass us. We are going to suck for a while. 

VPMK needs to gtfo.

I wish MK would have ejected sooner.  I know he was in a tough place, but it was a safe assumption he was getting played.

+10000

Bring on Willie Simmons!

"So first of all, Manny is really good at adapting his defense to his personnel."

Lol is this sarcasm? Is this not the first thing we heard about Shoop?

“Diaz went 21-15 in three seasons as the Hurricanes’ head coach. There were some very rough patches, including losses to Florida International and Louisiana Tech in 2019.”

Buddy lost to FIU during his tenure in Miami?? 
That’s boderline inexcusable. 

“On September 7, 2013, the Longhorns' defense, under Diaz, gave up a school record 550 yards rushing to Brigham Young University, including 257 to quarterback Taysom Hill. The following day, Mack Brown described the defensive performance as "unacceptable" and relieved Diaz of his duties as defensive coordinator.”

“Defensive guru”

Now we’re really gonna see how good of a recruiter/coach he really is. 

I thought we were done with rethreads? Can we give an up and coming winning head coach like Tyson Helton a shot? 

Diaz does not inspire any confidence. It was a scummy thing leaving Temple like he did. USF gonna USF. We are cursed. 

OP, now would be a good time.

Very very surprising. He probably would’ve done better here. 
 

Oh boy, now we really see what VPMK can pull off.

I'm not quite sure why a flagship state school like Colorado with more money than us, better conference, their own stadium, and presumably better facilities would get screwed, and not the other way around.

Money talks. Unless we matched what CU offered, we're most likely not getting Primetime as HC. He already did his charity case with JSU, he's earned the right to a fat paycheck. He would excel at USF, but he would be foolish to take less money to go to a lesser program. Hope I'm wrong and he sees the upside of USF.

I agree with most of this but at the same time, if I'm Prime Time, I also see:

Colorado:

and

I see Tampa:

We know money ain't an issue for him so that ^ might fluctuate his thinking if we're lucky.

blame him for not pulling out early.

It's alright. Deion is coming. 

What an entertaining week it has been.

Manny has a top defense at Penn state. He is a defensive mastermind. We don't need to go 12 and 0 right away. We just need someone to fix us up. He can do that and I can see him being a long term guy with us being a Floridian.

We won 1 FBS game the last 3 years remember. 8 wins in the ACC would be pretty good. 

He was also fired two games into a season at Texas after his defense gave up a record number of yards and also left Temple high and dry only two weeks after agreeing to become their head coach.

I don't think he has to prove he can recruit, I think that is a given... he needs to prove that he can COACH. CWT could recruit and in the AAC, if you out-talent everyone, you can win a lot of games. At JSU, Prime has been able to recruit and has more talent than anyone on their schedule. What happens if/when he goes to FSU for example and he's pulling in top 15 recruiting classes, but he's playing Clemson, UF, UM, etc every year? Can he coach? Can he take that talent and beat equal talent with it? That is the thing he needs to prove. Unfortunately, most schools don't let you jump there without some steps and we can be that step... then, we need to pull for Norvell to win so that FSU doesn't open up for him.

This is true.

It's a bit worrisome that Coach Prime admittedly makes coaching decisions based on what he thinks the Barstool guys are gonna think of him (unless that conversation was purely for comical purposes). Seems like he's getting away with simply out-talenting his FCS competition. We can only hope the same strategy works here as well.

They're waiting until Sunday so that he can enjoy his last Lightning game in peace.

This could be the climax troll post.

I'm a fan of the Candle/Weiner combo at USF. Weiner would clean up Tampa Bay recruiting with his connections. We need to build a wall around West-Central Florida and I think they'd be successful. I mean, hell, they're doing it right now while coaching for Toledo, Ohio.

It's also a shame the Willie Simmons controversy killed his buzz. Dude can coach, and win.
