Manny Diaz’s ‘New Miami’ begins Tuesday on a football field with QB question at forefront

Nearly three months have passed since we last saw the Miami Hurricanes perform on a football field, a sorry sight for those fans who believed (or didn’t believe) the Canes had a chance to defeat Wisconsin in the Pinstripe Bowl.

On Tuesday, The New Miami — the Manny-Diaz-coined slogan that has blossomed into a full-blown Miami mantra — makes its entrance in Diaz’s first official practice as UM’s head coach as spring practice gets underway at the Carol Soffer Indoor Practice Facility.

After UM announced Monday that soon-to-be redshirt sophomore quarterback Cade Weldon will be transferring, the pressing question that revolves around the most important position on the team was thrust back into the spotlight.
