UM’s Diaz explains what he told Jeff Thomas. And Canes eye these positions for 2020

But coach Manny Diaz said he’s not on a short leash, either.

“Jeff and I had a talk and I felt like at least I wanted to explain to him what it’s going to be like down here, how the program will be run, how the culture might be different,” Diaz said.
