    Duke hires Manny Diaz as Head Coach

    Does he have what it takes to succeed there? Was Miami an outlier or an exception?
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    He knows the place. He was at NC State right next door before we found him at Middle Tenn.

    Diaz is a good DC but his time at Miami as head coach was less than stellar. Yet again, no one has done well at Miami recently so I?m suspicious it might be more of a Miami problem than a Diaz problem

    I note Tulane hired Jon Sumrall, who I had hoped we would hire. Good young HC at Troy. They hire a HC with a good record and we hire a coordinator.

    Sumrall wants the UK job. Once Stoops leave he would have bolted for that unless he got a blue blood offer

    Maybe, maybe not. In any event, he would have to have had a good record at State for Kentucky to want him.

    Manny will be good at Duke. Actually would not be shocked to see them make a serious run at Van Dyke.
