Manny Diaz’s coaching staff for the Miami Hurricanes is finally set. Less than three weeks after he took over as Miami’s coach, Diaz made his final two coaching hires Friday, adding Taylor Stubblefield as wide receivers coach and Stephen Field as tight ends coach.
The last two moves mark the continuation of Diaz’s desire to build a clear identity for the Hurricanes as he takes over for former coach Mark Richt, who surprisingly retired last month. Diaz’s defense is young and energetic, with Blake Baker as defensive coordinator, Jess Simpson as defensive line coach, Jonathan Patke as outside linebackers coach, Mike Rumph as cornerbacks coach and Ephraim Banda as safeties coach.
