FSU football: Fans react to Miami’s new defensive coordinator hire
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU football fans have had a great time laughing at what the Miami Hurricanes have gone through over the past year or so.
It all started with FSU beating them in the 2021 season and Miami fans hyping up Mario Cristobal and his mediocre staff as the best in the nation.
I tried to tell Miami fans that staff was a joke then, and here we are one year later with a devastating blowout loss against FSU and both coordinators and QB coach out the door.
Miami fans swore Mario Cristobal was the second coming, and many media pundit bought into the nonsense placing Miami in the top 20 preseason polls.
Miami fired their offensive coordinator after one season, and their defensive coordinator left for Alabama.
Why Mario Cristobal Hire Is Nothing To Worry About. light. Trending
They haven’t hired an offensive coordinator or QB coach yet(likely would have to hire the OC first), but they hired their new defensive coordinator.
It’s Lance Guidry, who got hired at Tulane last month after coaching at Marshall. Lance Guidry has been coaching for over 20 years, and has never had a P5 coaching job, and has two stints with former FSU coach Willie Taggart.
SOURCE: Lance Guidry is expected to become the new DC at Miami. Guidry who was recently hired to run Tulane’s defense had just come from Marshall where he led No. 3 in the nation in yards per play allowed; No. 1 tin 3rd down D (23.5) and No. 3 passing efficiency defense.

Manny Diaz is a better DC than Kevin Steele....and Manny was terrible.

Thoughts
It’s hilarious to see the contradiction of Miami fans year in and year out. Listen, no reputable coach wants to go work at Miami.
They took forever to hire those two coordinators last year, so what makes Miami fans think they’ll make quality hires the next year? There’s a reason Power 5 teams have not been knocking down Guidry’s door for a defensive coordinator job.
There’s a reason a large percentage of his hires involve Willie Taggart and now Mario Cristobal. So Miami players have to gain rapport with new coordinators on both sides of the ball with spring practice about to begin, and neither coach is there yet.
They had all offseason to learn from the new coordinators last year, and we saw the awful product they put on the field in 2022.
If the defensive coordinator hire tells you anything, it’s that the offensive coordinator hire won’t be any better. Even if that’s the case, Mario Cristobal will sabotage him. Welcome to Miami where they throw millions of dollars and players and coaches only to remain in a constant state of mediocrity!
