The ACC announced Wednesday the schedules for all 14 member schools. Miami, which is coming off a 7-6 season last year, will be led by new head coach Manny Diaz – who spent three seasons as defensive coordinator before becoming the head coach at Temple for less than three weeks.
Diaz was lured back to Coral Gables following the sudden retirement of Mark Richt following the team’s Pinstripe Bowl loss to Wisconsin.
