In his three years at Miami, defensive coordinator Manny Diaz has turned the Hurricanes’ defense into a force, one of the bright spots during an up-and-down regular season this fall.
Now, it seems at least one major program is trying to lure Diaz from Miami.
Multiple reports late Monday and early Tuesday indicated that Diaz, 44, interviewed with Temple on Monday about its head coaching job, a job that became vacant when former Owls coach Geoff Collins opted to take over as coach at Georgia Tech.
School officials at Miami did not comment on the reports, with Hurricanes athletic director Blake James telling the Sun Sentinel via text message Diaz’s future is something for the defensive coordinator to discuss.
