Of all the coaching position changes that Miami head coach Manny Diaz made this offseason, perhaps the most important was his own.
In speaking with the media on Wednesday, Diaz confirmed what many had speculated when no defensive coordinator hire was announced after former DC Blake Baker left the program to become the linebackers coach at LSU.
“I’m going to be the defensive coordinator,” Diaz said. “And what I’ve done as defensive coordinator is what I’m going to do.”
Diaz plans to “go all in” with the defense and feels he will be able to do this because of his coaches and the maturity and understanding of his players.
