The Miami Hurricanes had a disaster of a year in 2021. The hype all offseason(what else is new) went for naught as their new offensive coordinator(since fired) couldn’t get it together in Coral Gables. Miami dealt with injuries at quarterback, a poor offensive line, no running game, and receivers that could consistently win one-on-one battles as they did in 2021.
Tyler Van Dyke decided to give it another whirl after flirting with transferring to Alabama in the offseason. He’ll be on his third offensive coordinator in three years. Miami added some help from the transfer portal on the offensive line and at wide receiver with Louisville wide receiver Tyler Harrell.
Mario Cristobal has a history of handcuffing his offensive coordinators, wanting to run a power-spread run game no matter what style the coordinator prefers. Miami coordinator Shannon Dawson runs a pass-happy style, but we’ll have to see how it plays out.
They lost their top receiving option to the NFL in tight-end Will Mallory. If Miami can’t run the ball, I’m not sure they have the talent at wide receiver to do much. However, it can’t get much worse than last year right?
