Manny Diaz was fired Monday as the Miami Hurricanes football coach, the school announced, clearing the way to hire Oregon coach Mario Cristobal.
“We are grateful to Coach Diaz for his many contributions to our campus community and to his native South Florida, and for the strong leadership and exemplary character he exhibited during his tenure at the University,” said President Julio Frenk. “We wish him and his family the very best as they move forward.”
Miami’s record in three years under Diaz was 21–15. He went 16-9 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and 0-2 in bowl games.
