Hurricanes coach Manny Diaz wants to restore shine to 'Quarterback U'

Manny Diaz has, for most of his career, focused on the defensive side of the ball, primarily teaching linebackers and safeties.

But as he settles into his first head coaching job, he knows if the Hurricanes are going to turn the tide after a 7-6 season, fixing Miami’s quarterback play has to be one of his major priorities.

He reiterated that fact on Wednesday morning during a radio appearance with WQAM-560’s Joe Rose and Zach Krantz, noting that in the past, when Miami’s been successful its been because the Hurricanes have had a top-notch quarterback leading both on and off the field.
