The 30 Hottest Names on This Year's Coaching Carousel

Manny at #7 among assistants


7. Manny Diaz, Miami defensive coordinator: The Miami native made a big impact during his first season in Coral Gables, leading a unit that finished ninth nationally in yards per play (up from No. 86 in 2015), 12th in scoring defense (up from No. 77 in ’15), fifth in tackles for loss (up from 105th in ’15) and 22nd in team sacks (up from 70th in ’15). The Canes look like they could be even better on D this year. Diaz has had success coaching in the ACC and the SEC, and he has the kind of big-picture presence that should translate well to the head coach role.
 
426. Mark D'onofrio, Houston defensive coordinator: The New Jersey native and former Miami defensive coordinator made a big impact during his five seasons in Coral Gables, turning a once proud attacking defense into a lethargic, overweight, confused unit that gave up yards like they were going out of style. His loudmouthed stubborn approach alienated his players and other staff members resulting in what amounted to a mutiny. His success at Temple was the direct result of a favorable conference change that lowered the level of competition. His low IQ and anger management issues should translate well into a prison guard role.
