Was firing Manny Diaz the right move for Miami?

The Hurricanes have not won an ACC title since 2003 and have not finished ranked in the top 10 of the final AP poll since 2003.

Diaz was unable to turn things around in Coral Gables, and now Miami will be looking for its fourth head coach since 2015.
