Penn State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz is being hired as Duke's next football coach, a source told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg on Thursday.
Diaz has been the top target for an extended period. Duke conducted finalist interviews in Las Vegas this week.
Diaz is coming off a season in which he led the nation's top statistical defense, as the Nittany Lions held opponents to 223.2 yards per game -- the best single-season defensive performance in the sport since Alabama in 2011.
