  Speaker 1: This coach as well, based upon what? Who said Manny
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Diaz can't recruit? Let's talk about Manny Diaz for a second.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: You guys got to let go of that Miami shit.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Please let go of that Miami shit. Let it go.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: What he did at Miami, what? Five, six years ago,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Manny was a first-time head coach. Let's talk about the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: facts as far as Manny Diaz. I want to speak
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: about this and then let you guys build in. If
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you guys do want to join the call-in portion of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the show, if not, we'll end the show after this field.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: But I do want to say this. Let's talk about
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Manny real quick.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Manny Diaz was a first-time head coach at the University
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: of Miami. That's a fact.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: First-time head coach. Manny was initially supposed to take the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Temple head coaching job, which he should have did. G5,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: get your training wheels under you, learn how to run
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a program. Mark Ritt ended up retiring abruptly, right? So
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: he ended up being the Miami head coach. He's the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Miami head coach for three years. Let me put this
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: up right now. He's the Miami head coach for three.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Years, right?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes did not back Manny at all. The Miami
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Hurricanes did not back Manny at all from a recruiting standpoint,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: from a financial standpoint. Once Mario Cristobal is hired, the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: floodgates open for Miami from a money standpoint.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: All right, cool. So you're fired from a job. How
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: do you respond from being fired from a job?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: There's value in failure if you learn from your failures, right?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: So Manny goes to Penn State, becomes a defensive coordinator.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: He was at Miami for three years. He went six
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and seven his first year, eight and three his third year,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: his second year, and seven and five his... last year.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: He was fired after the Florida State game. He was
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: 21-15 in Miami. He goes to Penn State, becomes a
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator under Franklin, who was a really good head
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: coach in my opinion. You learn from Franklin as a
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. You recruit elite at Penn State. He was
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: recruiting good at Miami, too. I'm going to go through
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: his recruiting classes at Miami and name a few guys.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I'm going to pull up.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: He's recruiting classes right now. So you go to... Whatever
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the fuck I just said. You go to Penn State
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to be a defensive coordinator, right? Put out great defenses
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: at Penn State. Great defenses. You go to Duke and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you become the head coach. You go to Duke and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you become the head coach, right? You go to Duke
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and become the head coach.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Your first... Sorry, my apologies. You go to Duke, you
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: end up being the head coach, right? Your first year
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: at Duke, and this is Duke.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: You bring in Murphy, the quarterback Murphy from Texas. You
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: go out and bring in a big-time quarter quarterback from Texas, right?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You go bring in Murphy. You go 9-4. You go
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: 9-4 your first year at Duke.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Duke. You're 9-4 at fucking Duke. Duke. You go 9-4
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: your first year at Duke.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Okay. Murphy really wasn't good at Duke. He wasn't great
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: at Duke. That defense kind of carried him.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: So what you do? Your second year, you go in
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the portal again. And you go get what?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Mensa, probably one of the best quarterback portals in– one
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the portal at that point
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: in time. You go do that, right? You win nine
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: games again with this quarterback. And you win the ACC. Bro,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you win the ACC at Duke. You win the ACC
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: at Duke. You win the ACC at Duke.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Duke.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Elko, a good coach at Texas A & M, he
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: never won the ACC at Duke. Riley Leonard, he never
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: did that. You win nine games back-to-back at Duke. Okay?
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Your quarterback on the last day, your quarterback and your
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: best receivers. Your quarterback and your best receiver on the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: last fucking day that the transfer portal is open.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: The very last day.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: The very last day the transfer portal is open.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Your quarterback goes to Miami. Your best receiver follows him.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: What do you do? Okay, cool.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: You don't have time to really evaluate and bring in
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: another quarterback within the portal. So you kind of scramble
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: last minute, bring in a quarterback.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: And what do you do? You're 3-0. You're 3-0. You're
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: 3-0 the start of the year at Duke.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: We're talking about a guy that's 21-9 at Duke in
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: three years with an ACC championship. I seen him come
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and talk about spending. They're spending less money at Duke
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: than they are at Florida State. From an NIL standpoint,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: way less money at Duke than you're spending at Florida State.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: And you're getting a way better product at Duke.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Duke!
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Than you are at Florida State. So, again, bro, stop
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: talking about this whole Manny Diaz situation as far as
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: how it played out at Miami. Like, I understand with
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Riles and that type of deal, and it's not going
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to be the quote-unquote sexy Harry because you're going to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: be trolled by hurricanes or whatever. Man, who gives a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: fuck about that bullshit, man? Like, this dude can coach, bro. And, again,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it's value in failure when you learn from your failures, right?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: He clearly learned from his failures at Miami as a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: first-time head coach. So, someone spoke about recruiting.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: He can't recruit. I just gave you examples of the
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: motherfucker recruiting that Duke.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Makai Jones, our starting safety. He's a true sophomore.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Guess where he came from?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Duke. Guess who recruited him?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Manny. Played a hell of a good ball for Duke
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: last year as a true freshman. But just some of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the names that Manny has recruited. Leonard Taylor, five-star from Miami.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Leonard Taylor, five-star from Miami. James Williams, another five-star safety
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: from Miami that was pretty much going to Georgia at
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that point in time. Manny Diaz got him to commit
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to the Miami Hurricanes. And again, this is before the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: big-time NIL packages that these guys were getting at that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: point in time.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Forgive me, guys.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I'm doing a show on the fly that's going through 247,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that type of deal. Jeff Thomas was a receiver there
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that played pretty good football. Mike Crawley, a receiver there
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that played pretty good football. Four-star, four-star. A bunch of four-stars.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: What's the linebacker that FSU was? Wesley Basaint. He was
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the guy that many recruited him for the most part
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and got him to commit. He was an FSU and
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Miami batter for Wesley Basaint. He pretty much recruited Wesley
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Bustain all the way up until Mario came in and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: got him that position. But, again, also, we used to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: make fun of this shit, too. Manny was one of
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the first motherfuckers to take advantage of the portal. He
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: was the first motherfucker to take advantage of the portal.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: The first. De'Aaron King. Remember De'Aaron King? He almost got
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Jalen Hurst as well to come to Miami, too. So, again...
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: All this talk about Manny. He was a.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: First-year head coach, bro. A first-year head coach. I'm not
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: holding nobody against him as far as being a first-year
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: head coach. You go 21-15 in Miami with lack of resources.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Lack of resources.
