Coach Diaz likes to bring pressure from an even front. In this article I will detail his pre-snap adjustments, run fits and coverages. Players like Chad Thomas, Al-Quadin Muhammad, Corn Elder, and Shaq Quarterman should thrive under Coach Diaz's 4-3 and 4-2-5 looks.
From watching Mississippi State games from 2015 and the #Canes spring game in 2016, Coach Diaz prefers an even front (a four man line). At times he will have 3-man down front, but the up end is playing a 5-technique and will always come across the line of scrimmage. Coach Kool also prefers a 4-man front and having the defensive line play like the Miami teams of old, with aggression and being an up-field force.
