Wow. Kind of a dick move IMO but I guess I get it.

@MiamiHurricanes: The 25th Head Coach of the Miami Hurricanes: @Coach_MannyDiaz Diaz Named University of Miami Head Football Coach - University of Miami Athletics

Yikes. How does that conversation go?

As for the hire itself, should be good for um from a continuity standpoint. But he’s definitely a risky hire at a place that shouldn’t be OTJT. The likelihood of us getting anyone from their class just dropped. But honestly, this could’ve gone several worse directions for us.

I’m als reading that they had to pay his buyout. So they effectively wasted 4mil to promote their own DC.:lol:

That's a decent hire for them, IMHO.

What supposedly makes Cristobal so great? He's 35-52 lifetime and his best finish ever was 4th in the conference.
He just looks good compared to Taggelwain.

I am 100% down with that hire. I was actually afraid they might stumble into a good coach. Lazy hire at best.

Wow...A "continuity" hire, which are always disasters.

“Things are going GREAT so let’s spend $4m (we don’t have) to hire from within!”

*from the initial list I thought Schiano would be the best hire. But I’m getting old and that was probably more true 10 years ago.

Agreed. We certainly don't have to worry about Miami being any kind of a threat with that clown at the helm.

Literally a clown, by the way. I read that he attended FSU.
