One Hidden Reason Duke Fans Should Feel Confident Diaz Will Stay

Manny Diaz has done an unbelievable job over the last two and a half years as Duke football's head coach.

So far, Diaz has compiled a 24-11 overall record, including a 14-7 record in ACC play, and delivered the Blue Devils their first ACC Championship since 1989 last season. However, 2026 might be his most impressive job yet.

Duke was hit hard by departures last offseason, and practically everyone around college football expected it to take a big step back after securing its first conference title in over 30 years. Diaz didn't let that happen. The Blue Devils are 6-2 and are led by a legitimate Heisman Trophy Candidate in running back Nate Sheppard.
