After three years on the job, Miami has fired head coach Manny Diaz.

The decision comes after reports indicated that the school was making a significant offer to lure Oregon coach Mario Cristobal back to Miami, where he played and served as an assistant coach under Larry Coker.

A source told Adam that Cristobal is meeting with his players Monday. They are expected to hear from him that he's leaving to take the Miami job.

After working as the team's defensive coach, Mark Richt was fired and replaced by Miami's native son, David Diaz. When Richt abruptly retired, helured back the head-coaching job that he had left to take at Temple. In the past two seasons, his first team has finished 6-7, but he has posted winning records in both of them, including a 5 game winning streak this year.

The president of the University of Miami said that they were grateful for the many contributions that Coach Diaz made to the campus community and to his native South Florida.

The school still hasn't found a replacement for James, who was fired in November.

The athletics director for the Tigers is considered the top candidate for the job.

Oregon has offered a contract extension to Cristobal, who led the team to a 35-13 record in parts of five seasons, including a 10-3 mark this year.
