The Duke Blue Devils have made a major move in the college football world, hiring Manny Diaz as their new head coach. The news was confirmed by an Associated Press source on Tuesday.
Diaz, who has been the defensive coordinator at the University of Miami since 2016, will be taking over a program that has had a long history of success. The Blue Devils have won four ACC championships and have been to a bowl game in each of the last four seasons.
Diaz is a highly-respected coach who has been praised for his ability to develop players and build successful defenses. He has also been credited with helping to turn around the Hurricanes program, leading them to their first ACC Coastal Division title in 2017.
The move comes as a surprise to many, as Duke had been rumored to be considering other candidates for the job. However, the university has made it clear that they believe Diaz is the right man for the job and that he will be able to lead the Blue Devils to continued success.
Duke fans are excited about the hire and are looking forward to seeing what Diaz can do with the program. With his experience and track record of success, there is no doubt that he will be able to take the Blue Devils to the next level.
It will be interesting to see how Diaz fares in his new role and what kind of impact he will have on the program. One thing is for sure: Duke football is in good hands with Manny Diaz at the helm.
