The rumored move of Manny Diaz from Middle Tennessee State to Mississippi State has come to a state of fruition, the latter state school stated this afternoon.
(Don’t worry. It probably annoyed me more typing that sentence than it did for you to read it.)
According to the press release, Diaz has officially agreed to become the Bulldogs’ defensive coordinator and will replace Carl Torbush, who left Starkville for the same position on Turner Gill‘s new Kansas staff after just one season.
Additionally, MSU announced that Chris Wilson has left Oklahoma after spending the past five seasons as the Sooners’ defensive line coach.
“Manny has proven to be a bright defensive mind and will bring an aggressive and exciting style of coaching to our defense. Chris has taught some of the best defensive lines in the Big 12 at Colorado and Oklahoma, and brings a knowledge of the OU defensive system that is one of the best in the nation,” head coach Dan Mullen said in a statement. “We’re excited to welcome both of them to our team and they’ll both hit the ground running as we sprint to the finish of the recruiting season.”
With that out of the way, you may now resume your regularly scheduled Tebow praising/bashing, already in progress...
