Miami showed some gradual improvement over two years under Mario Cristobal. Now, per Greg McElroy, the ‘U could be in line for just their second 10-win or better finish since the early 2000s. McElroy discussed a possible bounce back by the Hurricanes during a recent episode of ‘Always College Football’. In his opinion, Miami was far better than being just one game over .500 in 2023. That’s why a higher win total, which the odds also reflect, makes perfect sense to him in 2024. “I look at Miami’s 7-6 win total from a year ago. 7-6 – pretty decent year. There was a lot of progress made as we jus...

The expectations seem as high as they’ve been in quite some time in Coral Gables, as all eyes are on Miami head coach Mario Cristobal and the Hurricanes this upcoming football season. On paper looking like their strongest team since Cristobal’s arrival that could potentially take the program over the hump. Improvement on the defensive side of the ball could take Miami a long way in their turnaround, a unit that’s fresh off of their strongest season since 2019 and will have a new leader at the helm this upcoming season. With Cristobal hiring Lance Guidry as his new defensive coordinator this of...

One of the strengths that Mario Cristobal has had over the years is his ability to recruit players to the teams he’s coaching and build a strong roster. Now, in year three at Miami, that’s a continuing trend for him. During an appearance on Always College Football, Mario Cristobal explained to Greg McElroy what he sees as the critical factors that he uses to recruit new players to Miami. “You know the critical factors because you were a part of that operation as well [Alabama],” Mario Cristobal said. “Those things haven’t changed and those critical factors have always stood the test of time. A...

Going into Year 3 under head coach Mario Cristobal, the Miami Hurricanes are hoping to take a leap forward. To do that, they’ll need to improve in several key areas, including turnovers. While speaking to Greg McElroy on an episode of Always College Football, Cristobal addressed the turnover issues Miami has had. Notably, he believes that they’re a key area to improve on for the entire team in 2024. “It was probably the number one area that requires improvement and that overlapped, a little bit, with our redzone issues as well,” Mario Cristobal said. “We had some really good success early on a...

The on-field results haven’t necessarily shown it yet, but Mario Cristobal has built an impressive roster at Miami. The Hurricanes have signed the top recruiting class in the ACC each of the past two years, per the On3 Industry rankings. They have also added several talented players from the transfer portal. On3’s Andy Staples recently joined Kelly Gramlich and Eric Mac Lain on their podcast and talked about the Hurricanes. Staples shared that he believes Miami has a truly elite roster. “I’ve seen Mario build a roster. I saw Mario build a dynamite roster at Oregon. But you also have to get the...

Throughout most of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, at least one team from the state of Florida was in contention to win the college football national title. Miami, Florida and Florida State combined for 10 national titles during those three decades, and they were in the running for several more. All three programs have fallen off in recent years, though. Miami hasn’t won more than eight games in a season since 2017, while the Gators haven’t surpassed the eight-win mark since 2019. FSU did win 13 games last season in an impressive year for Mike Norvell, but FSU also had four straight losing seasons...

When Miami had it going from the mid-80s through the early 90s, they had a certain swagger about them. It made them likable to some and easy to hate for others depending on which sideline you were on. On3’s Andy Staples and BamaOnline’s Tim Watts spoke about the Hurricanes during that era, specifically in 1993, on Friday. Watts, who was recalling the Crimson Tide’s matchup in The Sugar Bowl with them that season with Staples, said that the energy around The ‘U was one that was their own, which sometimes rubbed opponents or critics the wrong way. “Also, again, the Miami mystique? It’s hard even...

With at least another month until college football finally kicks off again, these summer months provide an opportunity to stop for a second and look back at some of the sport’s great moments before more are made this fall. Over on the On3 YouTube channel, Andy Staples hopped in a time machine to return to one of the more consequential championship games of the 20th century, in fact, the very first official one, in 1993. Undefeated Alabama met up with undefeated and reigning national champs Miami in the first-ever national championship game under the Bowl Coalition – which was founded to select...

The Miami Hurricanes are prepared to reach new heights this season and head coach Mario Cristobal believes quarterback Cam Ward will be the one to lead them there. In a conversation with ESPN’s Greg McElroy, Cristobal raved about his transfer QB. “He’s helped us evolve,” Cristobal said. “You’re not limited with him. He can do a lot of things. He’s got a tremendous capacity, a super high football IQ and his ability to improvise is sometimes better than the designed play. “He’s also such a high IQ guy and so systematic that he does play within the system. If it’s not exactly the right call, he c...

The ‘U hasn’t been what it once was over the course of this century. That’s why, as their coach as well an alumni himself, Mario Cristobal has one mission at Miami. Cristobal spoke about expectations and how the Hurricane program has come along in his tenure to get back to them during an interview on ‘Always College Football’. He said that he is obligated to get them back to what they were before since he knows what that era was like as well as anyone. “Well, again, I was spoiled. I was here during those years,” said Cristobal. “All the things you mentioned is the reason why I came back. Part ...
