It was the most talked-about piece of jewelry in college football this season, and according to the man who came up with the idea for it, it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
During a chat with reporters Wednesday ahead of No. 10 Miami’s matchup with No. 6 Wisconsin in Saturday’s Orange Bowl, Hurricanes defensive coordinator Manny Diaz confirmed Miami’s famed Turnover Chain is no one-year wonder. The flashy, 10-karat gold, 36-inch chain will continue to be bestowed in-game to any player that forces a turnover next season — and beyond.
“No, I don’t think so,” Diaz laughed, when asked if he was planning to retire the Turnover Chain.
