We’re now a week into the Manny Diaz-tenure at Miami, though it feels like it’s been much longer than that (in a good way). The first couple days following his hiring was filled with press conferences, interviews and getting rid of the offensive coaching staff, which only juiced up the fan base even more.
Said awhile back @Coach_MannyDiaz reminded me of young @JimmyJohnson. Fiery as hell, players love him, plays attacking defense. #Diaz understands #Miami football better than Jimmy did when he took things over.
Keep the good recruiters, get a stud OC, and this is a great hire— Cash Money 'Cane (@CashMoneyCane) December 31, 2018Though, this weekend proved to be Diaz’s first challenge, while he watched once-promising recruits slip away from UM and commit elsewhere, still no offensive coordinator hired, as well as star defensive end Joe Jackson declaring for the NFL Draft.
