It’s hard to find many people who were more excited than Jaquan Johnson when Manny Diaz got the job as coach of the Miami Hurricanes. An all-conference safety last season, Johnson has been one of the leaders on Diaz’s defense for years in Coral Gables, so he knows about what the coach can do for the program.
Apparently, it’s also hard to find many people who were more upset than Johnson when the coach briefly left Miami to become the coach of the Temple Owls.
“To be honest, when he first left — he don’t even know this — but I unfollowed him,” Johnson said after working out in front of NFL scouts at UM Pro Day on Monday.
