Miami Hurricanes head coach Manny Diaz has to know this extended off week is the biggest of his career. Forget the game prep before BYU and Taysom Hill back at Texas. Forget the FIU debacle or UNC loss in ‘19 and ‘20. Coach Diaz is now fighting for his job and this off week will be telling as to whether he will remain at Miami, and potentially ever be a Power 5 head coach again.
When Miami coaches are fired, they don’t go on to greener pastures. Larry Coker was given the keys to the UTSA Roadrunners start up program and finished 26-32.
