The circus that has surrounded Manny Diaz’s status at Miami is over.

The Hurricanes head coach was informed Monday morning that he was being fired after 3 seasons at the school.

Multiple media reports over the course of the last 72 hours had indicated that Miami was actively pursuing Oregon coach Mario Cristobal, a former Hurricanes player and Miami native.

All the while, Diaz and his staff continued to recruit, drawing sympathy from college football analysts and fans and creating a backlash over the University’s handling of the situation.

Diaz was 21-15 as head coach of the Hurricanes.

No official announcement has been made about Cristobal, but it now appears there’s a good chance he’ll be returning home.
