His replacement might already be on staff: Poindexter, unless he is offered the JMU head coaching position.Are they going to select Manny Diaz or not? If Manny is gone its late at this stage to be able to find a DC to replace him.
They aren't worried about the impact to us. They can take as long as they want. Maybe they're hoping better options reconsiderAre they going to select Manny Diaz or not? If Manny is gone its late at this stage to be able to find a DC to replace him.
My guess is PSU is trying hard to keep Manny. I believe he will eventually leave for a head coaching gig but I don’t see Duke as a good situation for him.Everything that involves PSU seems to go quiet which makes me think PSU involvement in this is going on. Maybe MD is trying to decide whether to take the job, maybe PSU has put out a big offer to keep him?
That’s the thing. I’m sure they want to “get it right” but it’s not ideal to not have a HC in place at this point. Both from current players who will portal out and bring late in getting kids to portal in to your program. I’m a little surprised it’s taken them so long.They can take as long as they want with the transfer portal opening. Bold move Cotton.
Because Duke will be a big player in the portal?They can take as long as they want with the transfer portal opening. Bold move Cotton.
Duke has football fans?If I was a Duke football fan, I’d be panicking as recruiting and portal have passed them by. It’s too late to have any sort of leg up on prospects that have entered the portal.
Which makes me wonder if they’re going to hire someone already on staff?
I think Manny is a great candidate for Duke, but I just can’t come up with a scenario where I’d take that job. But maybe Manny just wants to be HC again.
What a lazy comment, considering their starting QB just portaled.Because Duke will be a big player in the portal?
This year? Where else would he go besides Duke this year?Whether it’s Duke or elsewhere, I think Manny will leave for a HC position this year. He’s a very hot commodity now, rightfully so, and I’m sure he’d like another shot at it. Hoping I’m wrong.
JMU? Not sure if he's looking more for a power 5 school or not though. If that's the case, he may have to be patient. Which would be great for us.This year? Where else would he go besides Duke this year?
He didn't "just portal". That was announced and known the moment Elko left. They could have hired Urban and Leonard was gone. $$$$What a lazy comment, considering their starting QB just portaled.
Yeah its probably just contract negotiations now. Could be a good sign that it seems to be dragging out past the portal opening. But these small details in the contract almost always are worked out.Have to hope that Duke can't afford him...........
Franklin could be fighting to get Diaz an Assistant Head Coach title and a salary higher than what Duke would pay a head coach....Yeah its probably just contract negotiations now.

I’m sure Franklin is pulling out all the stops to keep him here. That said, I think we all knew Manny was not gonna be here long-term. I was hoping for three years, but I’m not optimistic.Franklin could be fighting to get Diaz an Assistant Head Coach title and a salary higher than what Duke would pay a head coach....
I know, wishful thinking........
I was happy we had him for a second year. I thought he'd be gone last year.I’m sure Franklin is pulling out all the stops to keep him here. That said, I think we all knew Manny was not gonna be here long-term. I was hoping for three years, but I’m not optimistic.
Not gonna happen.Franklin could be fighting to get Diaz an Assistant Head Coach title and a salary higher than what Duke would pay a head coach....
