Miami has fired coach Manny Diaz. Diaz had two winning seasons in his three years in charge of the Hurricanes.
After weeks of speculation, Miami has fired head coach Manny Diaz on Monday after three years on the job. The decision comes after numerous reports indicated the school was making a significant offer to lure Oregon coach Mario Cristobal back to Miami, where he played and served as an assistant coach under Larry Coker. Cristobal informed Oregon Monday morning that he’s leaving for the Miami job. Diaz, a Miami native whose father once served as the city’s mayor, was 21-15 in three years as Miami’s coach after a stint as the team’s defensive coordinator under Mark Richt.
