Last season was supposed to be the one that would take the Hurricanes over the top, with the team coming in as a top 10, preseason favorite. After all, the team had come from a 10-win campaign in 2017 and gotten the program’s first ACC division crown. Sadly, that team had managed a mere 7-6 record and, after the dark clouds had parted, then-coach Mark Richt decided to call it quits, says financial advisor and Miami Hurricanes supporter Patrick Dwyer.
Now the job of coaching the 2019-20 team has landed on the shoulders of the team’s former defensive coach Manny Diaz. Interestingly, Diaz had been packing his bags on his way to a coaching stint at Temple when the phone rang, offering him helming duties for the Canes. Diaz simply couldn’t say no to the opportunity; he thanked Temple immediately, begging off and, well, unpacking.
As the dust of the whirlwind offseason settles, Canes fans’ attention is now on what Diaz can bring to the table. And everything looks good, so far: Diaz is already one of the top and elite coaches in the nation and has been with the Miami program for three years. Adjustment, therefore, shouldn’t be an issue. Moreover, Diaz has been known for his passion for the sport and his willingness to innovate. He should be able to build a great staff on just his first coaching year.
Of course, Diaz’ stint as the team’s former defensive coordinator should prove crucial in the composition and approach of the new Canes team. Miami’s defense is already one of the most lauded in recent years, and it just stands to get even better entering the 2019-20 season. Diaz just needs to hire an equally solid offensive coordinator, Patrick Dwyer adds.
