But has anyone taken an objective look at the trajectory of the program since Coker began to slide? We have one Coastal title in 16 years, 5-13 in bowls, and some disappointing losses along the way. I wanted a more detailed search for the new coach, but that time has come and gone. Like it or not, this regime has to get us going in the right direction; we are running short on: "we will be fine next year." Manny has to win these last three games convincingly, land Flowe and Washington (yeah, I said it) to gain much-needed momentum for 2020 (hopefully it's a hindsight year for those of us that doubt Manny's ability to win big while here).
Sobering stats to look at:

I don't care if you're a homer, BAMF, hater, or whatever term; we need to rally around Manny and the program something serious. If you have season tickets, keep them! If you canceled, renew them. Once the schedule comes out, I will fly home for a homestand (from Okinawa, Japan) to support the boys, no reason why we all cannot make it (@Everything305, @MiamiAlum10, let's get out to the games and support the boys.)
Manny is who we got, so we gotta roll with him!
