Miami Seeking Offseason Mailbag & New Position Coaches: A Podcast Discussion
[Intro music fades in]
Host 1 (Alex): Hey, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the Miami Hurricanes Football Report! It’s been a wild season, but as we know, the offseason is just as important as the games themselves. Today, we’ve got some exciting updates for all of you: Miami is actively seeking new position coaches, and we’re also opening up our offseason mailbag to answer your burning questions!
Host 2 (Jordan): That’s right, Alex. The Hurricanes have had a lot of change already, with several coaches moving on. The coaching staff reshuffling is always a big talking point, and right now, Miami is looking to make some key hires, especially in their position groups. We’ll dive into that, but first, let’s jump into some of the fan questions we’ve been getting!

Alex: We’ve got a lot of great questions coming through, and we’re super excited to dive in. Let’s start with one that’s been asked a lot lately. “With Miami needing new position coaches, who do you think will be the most crucial hire for the upcoming season?”
Jordan: That’s a big one. It really depends on what Miami wants to prioritize, but I think the biggest hire, at least in terms of immediate impact, could be at the offensive coordinator or quarterbacks coach position. Miami has a talented quarterback room, but the development of Tyler Van Dyke and some of the younger guys could really benefit from solid coaching. There’s a lot of buzz about Miami bringing in a dynamic offensive mind, someone who can mold the future of the offense.
Alex: Absolutely. The offense has been a point of concern, especially with the inconsistencies we saw last season. So getting someone who can develop talent at the QB position, plus create an explosive offensive system, could set the tone for this team going forward. But I also can’t overlook the defensive side of the ball. With Miami’s aggressive defensive schemes, making the right hire at positions like defensive backs or linebackers could really elevate the defense, which has already been solid in the past.

Alex: Our next question is one I think a lot of fans are wondering about, especially with the upcoming changes: “Who are some potential candidates for Miami’s open coaching positions?”
Jordan: It’s still early, but there’s been a lot of speculation. For offensive coordinator, some names being thrown around include former offensive minds like Dan Enos, who’s known for his work with quarterbacks, or even Kenny Dillingham, who’s done impressive work with high-scoring offenses. Miami could look outside the traditional pool and bring in a creative play-caller. On the defensive side, a name like Mike Elko has come up a few times, especially given his reputation as a defensive mastermind.
Alex: There are definitely a lot of exciting options out there, and I think Miami is in a unique position where they can be patient and make the best decision for the program. Miami is a prestigious school, and any top coach would be thrilled to be part of the Hurricanes’ legacy.

Jordan: Alright, moving on to another good question that’s been circulating around. “How important will the next season’s recruiting class be, given the coaching changes?”
Alex: Great question, because it’s so intertwined with the coaching changes. Recruiting is always crucial, but it becomes even more vital when there’s a coaching turnover. Miami needs to make sure that they keep the current recruits committed to the program, despite any staff changes. It’s also a chance for the new coaches to bring in their own guys, players that fit their schemes and coaching philosophies.
Jordan: I couldn’t agree more. Miami has been doing a solid job of recruiting high-level talent, and the upcoming class is loaded with future stars. If the new staff can make a strong impression early and show that they’re capable of developing these young athletes, it’ll pay dividends not only for this year’s class but for the future of the program.
[Sound effect: Exciting music]
Alex: Now, shifting gears a bit. We’ve seen a lot of social media chatter about the team’s culture, especially after the ups and downs of last season. “How can Miami’s new position coaches help change the culture and improve the program moving forward?”
Jordan: Culture is everything, and it starts with the coaching staff. Miami has always had a competitive, almost cocky edge, but sometimes that needs to be channeled the right way. A coach who knows how to keep the team motivated while also holding them accountable will be huge for this program. Whether it’s a new offensive coordinator with a fresh playbook or a defensive position coach who can teach discipline and technique, the right hires can make a big difference in how this team performs week in and week out.
Alex: That’s a great point. Miami’s players have always been talented, but getting them to gel and execute with consistency has been the challenge. A new coaching staff that fosters accountability, hard work, and a unified team mentality could really push the program to new heights.
[Sound effect: Question buzzer]
Alex: Alright, we’ve got time for one last question today. This one comes from “How do you think the leadership of the current players will help the team transition with the new coaching staff?”
Jordan: Leadership from returning players will be absolutely key during this transition period. Miami has some strong leaders on the roster, especially on defense, where guys like Cam Kitchens and James Williams have shown they’re willing to step up. Their ability to hold the team together through the coaching changes, while continuing to focus on the bigger picture, is going to be crucial. Having that strong leadership in the locker room will help maintain stability as the new coaches come in and get acclimated.
Alex: Spot on. Leadership is always critical in college football, especially when there’s uncertainty. If Miami’s veterans can rally the younger guys and keep the focus on improving and executing, then the team can hit the ground running when the new coaches arrive. It’s all about continuity.
[Outro music fades in]
Jordan: Well, that’s all the time we have for today’s mailbag session! We’ve got some exciting offseason changes happening for the Hurricanes, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on everything as it develops.
Alex: That’s right, Jordan. We’ll be back soon with more updates and analysis as the coaching changes unfold and the new recruits make their commitments. Miami’s future is looking bright, and it’s going to be an exciting ride.
Jordan: As always, thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe to the Miami Hurricanes Football Report so you never miss an episode. Until next time, Go ‘Canes!
