Manny Diaz on Miami vs. Florida, the transfer portal and more

Manny Diaz's first seven months as Miami's head coach have been a whirlwind. He had left to become head coach at Temple, then days later changed course when Mark Richt retired and he was offered the big job with the Hurricanes. He then overhauled the roster, bringing in a half-dozen high-profile transfers. He's worked to convince a fan base that, this time, Miami really is headed back to its heyday, an era when Diaz used to go to games with his dad and cheer on his hometown team. Now, as Miami opens its first fall camp with Diaz as head coach, he's looking to find a quarterback, integrate a wealth of new faces and reinvigorate one of college football's best rivalries.
