The losses to FIU and Duke to end were devastating
Before those two, Diaz could point to 4 close losses to UF (top team), UNC (gave Clemson best battle), VT (almost won the division), and GT (due to kicker) and spin things his way.
After the loss to FIU, it was clear as day that Diaz was completely in over his head as a first time HC. If he doesn't make major staff changes, and bring in a solid AHC, then he's finished after year 2.
Failure could be the best medicine. If Miami finishes 8-4 playing in the OB, everyone forgets about the season, being dead last in 3rd down conversions on offense and nearly dead last on giving up 4th downs on defense, and there is no pressure for Diaz to make changes. Come back with same staff and finish 7-5, then 8-4, then 5-7 and gets fired 3 years from now. At least this massive failure may lead to change.
