UM Announces Mario Cristobal New Football Coach

One Miami native is out at the University of Miami and another is in.

Just hours after announcing Manny Diaz has been let go as head football coach with a statement saying, "The University is committed to providing its student-athletes with the best opportunities to succeed and to building championship-caliber teams at the U," the Hurricanes have announced Mario Cristobal is coming home as the next Head Coach.

Cristobal graduated from UM, was an assistant coach with them and was FIU's head football coach between 2007 and 2012.

Diaz leaves Miami with a 21-15 record over three years.
