Miami has moved on from Manny Diaz, opening the door for Mario Cristobal to come back from Oregon.
Diaz was informed of his dismissal during a Monday morning meeting with Miami's president, sources told Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel. Diaz, the son of a former Miami mayor, was given three seasons with the Hurricanes before the school — which currently does not have an athletic director but is close to landing Dan Radakovich from Clemson — opted to go in another direction.
That next direction was Cristobal, the Miami native who posted a 35-13 record and won two Pac-12 titles in four seasons at Oregon.
