Manny Diaz is set to kickoff his head coaching career in just three days when the Hurricanes head up to Orlando to take on the Florida Gators. Plenty of optimism has surrounded the program since his hiring.
Whether it was fixing a broken recruiting class through the transfer portal, hiring a highly touted offensive coordinator that has brought life to a flatlined offense, or putting his team through rigorous summer workouts that has transformed their conditioning, Diaz has been winning since his arrival.
But the off-season doesn't count on Saturdays. Despite doing all of those great, tangible things to improve the program, he has yet to win absolutely anything at Miami.
