I now hope Manny Diaz fails in spectacular fashion. He just signed a bunch of kids to LOIs.

The overwhelming majority were Collin's recruits anyways. Diaz was announced on the 13th - Signing day was the 19th

I get that, but I'm sure he gave those kids and their parents their word though.

Poor bastard has the template saved to his desktop!

So, would that be a Temple-ate? Sorry.
I know you can’t control timing of opportunities, but this does feel a bit low class on Manny’s part.

Check out @Temple_FB’s Tweet:

His retirement shocks me....he is only 58 and UM is his Alma mater. He has only been there three years. Could they really force change on him? Seems like he should have more power than that.

And.....he says "retire"? Is he really retiring at 58 from coaching? This is an odd one.

He 'retired' because if he didn't he'd be fired. Better on resume to have retired than fired...

Poor Temple players getting whiplash...

Diaz should tell the players who signed at Temple because of him that they can sign elsewhere... Sucks...

Lot of moving pieces: Update on Temple's second head coaching search of 2018 - FootballScoop

Not a bad take for a few more days of agita:

Brett McMurphy @Brett_McMurphy 20 minutes ago
Temple will receive $6.5 million from losing two coaches - $2.5 million from Georgia Tech for Geoff Collins & $4 million from Miami for Manny Diaz

We need this to happen here! That's a nice windfall.

Nice landing place for Schiano.

Temple collected 6.5MM for losing 2 coaches this month. That puts us what, 10 MM behind them in “how to lose a coach”?

My immediate thought too. UConn spent some $10M to fire two spectacularly awful coaches in two separate sports in the last few years. Temple nets close to $7M in that same time period and half of that amount is for a guy who didn't even unpack his moving crates yet. $17M difference by my rough count.

UConn is entering 2017-18 Detroit Tigers territory - a very high payroll that produces minimal/no positive results.

Another report:

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

OK, Todd Orlando back to UConn as DC/head coach in waiting.

As long as you're UConn's Fertita.

The money made by Temple makes it seem like being a stepping stone job isn't half bad and can be a source of revenue! However, you need to be able to show you can make solid hire after solid hire. Something Cincy did for a bit and Temple seems to be doing now.

Fickell, Brown, Candle, Norvell and Littrell.

Was this the guy Diaco proclaimed as the one of the brightest minds in college football or something like that?

Yes lol

Forgot about the Finkell/Gee connection:

Brown seems like the best, and more logical, choice for WVU. However, If the cupboard at WVU is as bare as some have suggested, it will probably take Brown a couple years to get it going, but if he can recruit athletes to Troy capable of beating LSU and Nebraska, I would think he should be able to convince kids to come to WVU.

Following the tweets of MH3 has been comical during this search...The Dude must be funny as well but he blocked me a while back when I insulted him about living in his mom's basement.

The Dude has been hilarious. After Dana left he made some tweet about how he’s donating his estate to the athletic department when he dies
