Diaz, Scheyer Named Top 2025-26 Coaching Duo

DURHAM, N.C. - With NCAA tournaments kicking off and spring football starting, Duke's Manny Diaz and Jon Scheyer have been named CBS Sports' top football and men's basketball coaching duo in the country for the 2025-26 season.
The ranking highlights 10 programs with heightened success in football and basketball. Duke recently became the first school in ACC history to capture football, men's basketball and women's basketball championships in the same academic year.
For Duke, CBS Sports writes:
"Maybe there's a hint of recency bias here, but when you capture the program's first football conference title since 1962, merit is warranted. Each of Duke's top coaches won conference championships this season, with Scheyer sporting the NCAA Tournament's No. 1 overall seed. The Blue Devils sit 32-2 overall following Saturday night's win over Virginia in the ACC Tournament final and have won 11 straight games entering March Madness ... Diaz's improbable run with back-to-back nine-win campaigns ended just short of the Blue Devils' first playoff appearance in program history last fall."
