Tre’von Riggins didn’t flinch when Manny Diaz left his post as the Miami Hurricanes’ defensive coordinator to become coach of the Temple Owls. The four-star defensive end didn’t flinch, either, when Mark Richt abruptly retired the day before New Year’s Eve.
So there was no reason for Riggins to change anything when Diaz came back to the program later in the day. By then, the Bradenton IMG Academy junior had been committed to Miami for nearly a year, back when Diaz was in charge of the defense and Craig Kuligowski was defensive line coach, so he wanted to give the Hurricanes the benefit of the doubt after so much changed toward the end of 2018.
