The reports that Crisobal was the top candidate were false. Oregon is still a stepping stone. Ducks better hope Diaz does well at Miami or else they'll be looking for a new head coach again in a couple years if Cristobal proves himself as a coach and manages to get Oregon from fourth to second in the North.

Seems as plausible as your first scenario.StrongArmCobra said:
Diaz was hired by Temple 18 days ago. Between then and prior to Miami's bowl game it is likely Richt informed the Miami AD he was stepping away in which case the coaching search began and Diaz was the top target and Diaz verbally agreed to take the job. Then Richt waited until after the early signing period and bowl game to announce his retirement so that it wouldn't be a distraction and so their recruiting class wouldn't collapse. In the same day Richt announces his retirement, Diaz is "hired" without any public coaching search. In reality, he had already been hired but had to wait for it to be official after Miami's bowl game. Point is, Cristobal wanted the job but wasn't offered. If he's offered that job in the future he gone.creepycoug said:

Step one: find out from Richt we'll ahead of time that he's retiring, but keep it quiet.
Step two: ID Diaz as your first choice.
Step three: let yourbforst choice out the door to sign as a HC with a buyout. What could go wrong?
Step four: Surprise! Announce Richt's retirement.
Step five: call your guy - the one you could have told to sit tight for what was coming - to make a U turn and be your head coach. It's $4 million more expensive now? No big deal.
Seems plausible.
Of course, your hot take didn't age well, per usual.
At first I thought you were whooshing. Then I remembered. -

You proved my point. MIAMI did not inquire about Cristobal. It was the other way around. Cristy had his agent reach out but the job was already going to some one else. Cristobal wasn't the top target but he'd leave Oregon in a hot second for that job.blackmamba said:

Since the rest of your story checked out, I see no reason not to trust your current hot take. So ok!StrongArmCobra said:

@ntxduck Then the AD had Diaz as his go-to guy and it happened extremely quickly without a coaching search as I said. Point is, your boy Cristobal didn't turn down Miami and is gone if he gets that job offer. Even if he manages to have some success at Oregon he'll be snatched up by Miami or a bigger program in a couple years. Oregon will always be the bridesmaid, never the bride.
