In three seasons with the Hurricanes, he finished 21-15. The words in the “Twitterverse” and reports were the Hurricanes were in active negotiations with another head coach while still employing Diaz. Moreover, if the other head coach expected to be Mario Cristobal does not accept the offer, Diaz would remain at Miami.
