He may turn out to be a good coach but The optics of us hiring Manny would be horrible.   Apparently he wanted the FAU job and FAU went with Herman.  We suffer through a week long clown show where we get turned down by both of our top candidates.  Now it will look we're on to option D E or F.  FAU fires their coach and in less than a week has a search and pulls in a damned good coach.  This has been a total miscalculation on the part of MK.  

When have the optics at USF not been horrible in the last X Years?

so is FAU with more than likely a better coach 

I like herman but he has never coached in florida before. recruiting is how you win. it's the jimmie and joes.

maybe FAU made the mistake and hired a guy that has no instate connections

look how many recruits come from the carolinas with scott. same thing when holtz was here. that's where they had connections.

then look at what Taggart (and leavitt) did as far as this state.

Who's to say we were in the running and not getting played the whole time.  FAU knew their lane and stayed in it and got a damned good coach.  FAU passed on Manny and hired Herman yet Manny Is good enough for USF

We got played.(period). All the way to the boosters.

Manny Diaz, a man of little success
Failed to bring the U to greatness
His exit from Miami was a mess
But now he looks to the future, no less.

Gone is Deion, off to Colorado,
Leaving behind a pride that's feeling low.
But Diaz offers a new way to go,
Ready to lead the Bulls from the depths of woe.

Manny Diaz comes to South Florida,
A new leader with a mission to fulfill.
He's been around the game and knows the drill,
And offers hope to a team that's been through much ill.

Welcome Manny Diaz, South Florida's new coach,
A fresh start for the Bulls, a chance for them to approach
The game with a different attitude and heart,
In hopes of creating a winning art.

Agreed.  We have been the poster child for bad optics, however I was hoping this was a new beginning for USF athletics...guess not.  Same as it ever was.

This hire if true is not exciting at all.

VPMK has been a disaster when it comes to coaches

There once was a VP of Athletics,
Michael Kelly of South Florida fame
He failed to hire a coach
To bring the team to approach
So they're stuck with mediocrity's name.

I'm still on team Leavitt.  I welcome our new Carolina overlords.

USC 22 missed tackles last night. We're getting back to an Era where defense will win games. We need defensive help. He can delegate to Trickett who we all love. 

5-3 in his last season at Miami and all those losses were only by a FG or less. 

Florida guy. 

I like it.

Heard a baseball coach say one time that if we get beat, we get beat. But if it’s by one run, that’s my fault.
