Manny Diaz got his first big-time radio test as the new University of Miami head coach when he was nonchalantly told during an interview Friday afternoon on WQAM’s Hochman and Crowder show: “Tell us a little bit about the new defensive coordinator Blake Baker.’’
Baker is the Louisiana Tech defensive coordinator who is believed to have accepted the same position with the Hurricanes. But if it has happened, it has not yet been announced.
“Here’s what you need to know about our defensive staff,’’ Diaz said, seemingly a bit off kilter by the remark, but assuredly gaining steam as he proceeded to somewhat bypass the WQAM statement.
