thought he was a good DC for us. I know we had some good defensive personnel when he was here but Texas has talent as well.
Anyone got any thoughts on why Manny Diaz was such a failure at Texas?...
- Thread starter maroonmania
- Start date
Because he was promoted way too fast, and was exposed as someone...
that could not adjust to a conference of fast paced offenses.

Panicking for a reason
Texas had brought in Greg Robinson as a consultant.
The week that they played BYU, the suggestion was that go to 8 in the box and make BYU pass.
Apparently Manny did everything but that, and gave up 550 yds. rushing.
For that alone he should have been fired.
I have no idea about the dynamics that were in play in Austin at that time, but Manny had more than enough Talent do much better.
Also, I think his film had been available long enough for teams to understand what he was going to do, (between MSU and Texas).
I wish him well.
