Manny Diaz hot seat: Miami fans call for Hurricanes to fire their head coach
By Adam Spencer
Published:
Manny Diaz and the Miami Hurricanes had a rough day on Saturday, losing at home to Michigan State, 38-17.
We’ve already had one big-time college coaching change this year, with USC firing Clay Helton after a Week 2 loss.
Will the Miami job be the next to open? Fans are certainly turning on Diaz in droves, especially now that the Hurricanes are sitting there with a 1-2 record.
After Saturday’s loss, fans took to Twitter to wonder if the Hurricanes should make a move by Monday:
So you fire Manny Diaz who was an awful hire from the jump and hire some other uninspired coach? The Miami program is dead because no coach wants the job…it’s never coming back

If @univmiami cared about football, they would take USC’s example and immediately fire Manny Diaz. We are headed to 6-7 losses and another rebuild. Do it now, find your EXPERIENCED guy and PAY HIM!!
There’s nothing wrong with admitting your mistakes, we failed, move on!

If Miami is smart they fire Manny Diaz on Monday like USC did Helton. Manny might be worse than Helton

The Hurricanes now have 1 week to get right before ACC play starts. Next weekend, they’ll host Central Connecticut. Will Diaz still be the head coach for that game?
