Head coach Manny Diaz’s staff changes have been finalized as the Hurricanes move full steam ahead into 2021.
“We are excited to announce these staff hires as we work to improve all facets of our program on and off the field,” Diaz said in an official statement.
Defensive coordinator Blake Baker—who’s job security had been seen as shaky according to multiple sources after the 2020 season—will return in ‘21, but with a catch. Diaz will take over play calling duties from Baker, who will keep the title of defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach.
