Per 247 Sports (12-6-23):

Sources: Duke football head coaching search focused on two candidates

All the buzz in coaching circles is that Penn State Defensive Coordinator Manny Diaz is the current favorite, although there is a second candidate who remains in contention according to other sources. If Diaz is ultimately Duke's selection, it would be the second consecutive head coach that King has hired who is an accomplished Defensive Coordinator. Unlike the last head coach, Diaz brings with him years of head coaching experience.

... from the same article:

After being fired by Miami two years ago, Diaz has been owed between $6.5M-$8M by his former employer, with his salary from Penn State of between $1.5M and $2M offsetting that number. That contract with the Hurricanes is set to expire at the end of this year, so it's no surprise the 49-year old Miami native was looking to land a head coaching job to replace that income.

Why would you hire a coach that your team consistently beat?

UNCCH extends Mack Brown if this happens.

Watching the response Manny gets and the response Lashlee gets is amusing. Carry on.

Great, that solidifies Dukes death in football. We will open up a can of whip *** on him in 24 at HR.

 

[407cane]

Wonder if he brings Banda as his DC. Baker is progressing through the ranks so he won’t follow manny

To be fair.. Manny beat them 48-0 and 47-10 in his 2nd and 3rd year. Lost year 1

Feeley is legit

It's hard enough to recruit at Duke. Manny ain't the guy to do it.
