Manny Diaz took over the Miami program last season and put his team in position to exceed expectations after a big win over Louisville late in the season. However, his team went on to lose the last three games which included being shutout in their bowl game by Louisiana Tech. Diaz’s offense was nowhere near what it should have been and that led to a change at Offensive Coordinator. Rhett Lashlee has come in to utilize all of the speed and athleticism Miami has and after one game, there seems to be some improvement.
The biggest transfer of the off season was arguably D’Eriq King leaving Houston for Miami.
