Is this the same Manny Diaz that was the DC at tu under Mack Brown?
As I recall he was fired on the flight back to Austin after a disastrous loss to someone on the West coast.
If so, impressive recovery of one's career.

No, it's the other Manny Diaz at the top echelons of the coaching ranks. Common misconception though.

Wasn't he also fired from Miami?

Looks like he swapped out the cleats for old fashioned white tennis shoes.

He has really aged and looks completely different. I wouldn't have recognized him just by looking at him.

So Elkos replacement at Duke won a conference championship before Elko

It's crazy how Duke won a 5-way tie with a 6-2 ACC record but finished 7-5 because of nonconference losses to Illinois, Tulane, and UConn. As a result, Duke became the 5th Power 4 team with 5 losses to play in a conference championship and the first to win it since 2012 Wisconsin.

Elko set the table for him though.
You know...recruits, culture.that kind of setting.

We've had enough practice considering we haven't won anything in 40 years to spin any shortfall in our favor

Do you know this for a fact?

I'd guess AT MOST only 40% of the roster from 2023 remains. It may be as low as 20%. Likely somewhere in the 25-33% range.

Not saying Elko had nothing to do with it, but few recruits remain, and whatever culture was in is likely long gone. At best, this is a serious stretch.

This exact thing happens to us all the time. We hire a coach that was never very good anyways, then they end up stinking up the world here and their replacements do great at their old stomping grounds. I mean, Saban has Franchione to thank for all his national titles at Bama. He could never have done it had Fran not laid the groundwork and set the culture and packed the cupboard for him

Yep, TexAgs should have their own late night comedy, variety, talk show. Only it would be similar to Debbie Downer from the old Saturday Night Live
