Manny Diaz, a lifelong Assistant Coach/Coordinator, has had his most success at The U. Miami stands at number 2 in total defense thus far, in addition to other categories they rank highly in. That kind of success hasn’t gone unnoticed, and teams looking for a new Head Coach will surely take note.
Miami’s Assistant Coaches have been pursued before, as Ron Dugans was heavily recruited by Florida State, while Craig Kuligowski moved to Alabama last season. Richt’s staff still hasn’t seen many changes, but Manny Diaz is obviously the highest-profile Assistant.
