The Miami Hurricanes football program is undergoing significant changes to its coaching staff following a 10-3 season that ended with a narrow 42-41 loss to Iowa State in the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Head coach Mario Cristobal has announced the dismissal of defensive coordinator Lance Guidry, citing the need for improved defensive performance after the team ranked 68th nationally in scoring defense, allowing 25.3 points per game.
In a strategic move to strengthen the defense, the Hurricanes are reportedly set to hire Will Harris, a highly regarded secondary coach from in-state rival Florida, to oversee the defensive backs.
These changes reflect Cristobal’s commitment to enhancing the team’s defensive strategies and overall performance.
