The serious talks and rumors have culminated in a monumental day in Miami football history as the Canes have changed leadership by firing Manny Diaz and officially agreeing to a deal with Oregon head coach, Mario Cristobal. The official agreement reportedly came after Cristobal held a players’ only meeting with the current Ducks’ roster and multiple sources confirmed his decision to become the 26th head football coach. The contract details have not been released but it could be worth more than $8 million a year.
Cristobal is originally from Miami where he attended Christopher Columbus High School and played offensive line at the U from 1988 to 1992 where the team won two national championships.
