Head coach Manny Diaz fired by University of Miami

What has been speculated for the past week is officially confirmed.

Manny Diaz has been fired as the head football coach at Miami, as announced by the school Monday morning. The firing comes shortly after reports that Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal is expected to be replace Diaz.

Despite his future up in the air this past week, Diaz and his staff continued to recruit, and even landed a four-star linebacker last week. The Hurricanes are currently preparing to face Washington State in the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas on Dec. 31. It is not known who will coach the Hurricanes in their bowl game.
