Coaches Manny Diaz of Miami and Mack Brown of North Carolina have a past. Once upon a time, Diaz was Brown’s defensive coordinator at Texas. But Manny Boy’s defense was cut to pieces in a humiliating NCAA Football betting loss at BYU. Thus, Brown had to can Diaz and sent him to tend to the swimming pool. Manny Boy was forced to take up such work based on his university contract. Since Diaz took over Miami, Big Daddy Mack has spanked his but in two blowout losses. And gamblers are expecting more of the same this upcoming Saturday.
