Miami-FL Hurricanes College Football Betting
Miami Hurricanes head coach, former player, alum, and favorite son Mario Cristobal is yet to move the needle in two seasons on the job. The man touted as the best recruiter in college football has had good classes. But that has yet to translate into success on the field. Cristobal produced a bowl season in 2023 after a 5-7 flop in 2022. But mediocre bowl games are not why Cristobal was hired. In the immediate future, Cristobal must find a new QB to replace Tyler Van Dyke, who entered the transfer portal.

From 1983 through 2001, the Miami Hurricanes won five national championships. Additionally, they were a national finalist seven times in that span. Miami was never a historic blue-blood program. All of their success came then. And the Canes have become a prisoner of that success. Miami continues to cycle through coaches chasing that elusive era of glory.
The late great Howard Schnellenberger built the original Miami powerhouse. And then Jimmy Johnson took over and led the Canes to a higher level. Dennis Erickson maintained Miami’s championship dynasty. But the program began to erode after caretaker Larry Coker won the natty in his first year and made the national championship game in his second campaign.
Miami has a litany of past superstars, including eras not connected to the Glory Years. Jim Otto, Ted Hendricks, Jim Kelly, Michael Irvin, Cortez Kennedy, Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Edgerrin James, Dwayne Johnson, Ed Reed, Vinny Testaverde, Russell Maryland, Gino Torretta, Arnold Tucker, Bennie Blades, Don Bosseler, Andy Gustafson, and Jack Harding are all legendary Canes.
Current head coach Mario Cristobal played for The U from 1989-1992. If anyone gets the Hurricanes and their unique program, it is Cristobal.
