He may have been dissapointiing? Even though Mack Brown practically used him as a scape goat. 

With a hard nose coach like Charlie,you can't blame Diaz now for giving up 45 to CAL

No one on this thread was blaming Manny for anything!

His D just did not seem to work outside of the $ec.

Time will tell.

Leading the country in tackles for losses per game

10.5 a game.. next closes is michigan at 9.83 a game


we have 63 total through 6 games.. for reference in....

2015 we ranked 96th with 66 
2014 we ranked 97th with 64
2013 we ranked 106th with 61
2012 we ranked 108th with 53

Wow. I think it's impressive because trams like unc are so up tempo it's hard to stop them behind the line 

Same with gt, that triple option doesn't result in too many negative plays. 

This defense has been fantastic

With 3 true freshman starting a linebacker,3 others injured,2 other starters kicked off the team before the season started. I say he has done great. Never seen a much aggressive defense like this in 10 years. Tommorow night he will.be without 5 starters. If he balls put against Virginia Tech and so on they better keep him,because for what I've been reading up is that FIU wants him.

Hate how people want to point fingers at the DC to get rid of him. Look at the talent. Charlie took over defensive player calling and still gave up over 600...

 

Maybe Diaz wasent the whole problem at Texas?

Well since Darnell, 

we had no issues with defense until Diaz

Robinson came in mid season and fixed the problems. 

Then came Bedford.

      are you suggesting that if the football coach runs spring drills then the kids won't play fall ball without supervision?  Because if not, this argument has no relevance.  One doesn't take the place of the other.  one the AD has control of, the other he just tries to.

      I don't think it is overly hyped.. I am seeing less and less multi-sport kids when it can all be prevented.. A coach teaches l loyalty, work ethic, comradery, integrity, perseverance, etc.. to get kids to buy into their program. They talk about brotherhood and doing what is best for their community.... But some mean all of this  just for football... Kids see into this double standard and will quit.. either while on the field or off...  drives me crazy!!  and again... I work with these kids.. they tell me what they think.. so you can agree or disagree.. its their point of view!!

      Hmm..... I tend to disagree. I was a multi sport athlete in High School and am now a coach. Kid is not going to be a very good hitter if he only hits in the spring and summer, I took BP and threw (to keep my arm in shape) during football and basketball season. Kid is not going to be a very good QB, WR or DB if he only throws passes, runs routes or covers receivers in the fall or during a few 7 on 7 games after baseball is over. And a kid is never going to be good shooter of the basketball if he only shoots during the basketball season. Skills are honed, not mastered, they need to be developed and practiced repeatedly.

      and I'll concede that this is more realistic.  but a good AD can make football the primary focus without messing with the success of other sports.

      but they're 10-3 this year.  playoffs in basically everything except boys and girls basketball, which i mean, that's understandable.  and from what I'm hearing, the different programs feel supported over there.  which is kind of the point of the athletic director.  It's not the football director.
