Manny Diaz seriously wanted to defeat the North Carolina Tar Heels for several reasons.
The Hurricanes were trailing 47-42 with 18 seconds left when freshman quarterback Tyler Van Dyke had his pass attempt intercepted. It was a heartbreaking finish for the Hurricanes, especially since they erased a 45-34 lead in the fourth quarter.
Following the game, Mack Brown and Manny Diaz met at midfield to shake hands, but Diaz appeared disinterested. Brown fired Diaz back in 2013 when they were both at Texas.
“Manny Diaz was NOT happy during the handshake w Mack Brown,” Fox Sports radio host Colin Cowherd said. “Of course, it was a brutal loss for the Canes.”
“I’m no body language expert, but gonna go on a limb and say Manny Diaz — who Mack Brown previously fired midseason —wanted ZERO part of this interaction … whether it was after a win or loss,” Taylor Gaspar Estes of 247Sports said.
