Miami has its new DT coach. Damione Lewis, a star on the 2000 Hurricanes and first round pick of the St. Louis Rams, will be joining Miami's staff alongside DE coach Jason Taylor.

Lewis broke into coaching at FIU as the Panthers' Assistant Athletic Director of Football/Player Development. In 2020, Lewis joined Pete Carroll's staff on the Seattle Seahawks as DL/DT coach. This past season, he served as DL coach under Deion Sanders for the Colorado Buffaloes. Lewis made an immediate impact, as the team jumped from 66th to 9th nationally in sack percentage and from 95th to 37th in yards per rush against.

A 46-year-old native of Northeast Texas, Lewis played 141 games in the pros between the Rams, Panthers and Texans.

I am a parent and would not appreciate foul mouth Damion Lewis cursing his brains out to make his point. Verbally he seems like an extremely limited person. He was a great player for UM.

Shut the **** up

My high school coaches were way worse than that was. Some of the greatest sayings I've ever heard were from them, and I still tell people them...25+ yrs later.

I thought JT was going to handle the DL on his own?

Regardless, hope it works out. Let’s Go, Canes!

@PIPO he’s on the loose posting again.

Obviously Mario is going to always have the final say, but people that think Hetherman didn't have a say are clueless

So Mario will have the final say on personnel hires but he won’t exercise that authority in defensive scheme and play calling…? Glad to know he knows where to draw the line.

Only one that comes to mind is Mr. Daggummit himself from that school in Trailerhassee.

I think I heard that Richt didn’t curse either but I’m not sure on him.

Ken Hatfield reportedly was a non-cursor. He coached at USAF, Rice, Arkansas and replaced Danny Ford at Clemson, who chewed tobacco and definitely cursed at will. When Hatfield succeeded him it was quite a culture shock for the team. Lol.
I'm not sure about Gerry Faust at Note Dame, but I remember he had a fit when his team was at the theater watching a movie and actress showed her breasticles. Faust reportedly tried to shoo his team out of the the movie. Lol.

Good choice, bringing home a Cane that has proven himself as a coach.

IIRC, I saw him drop an F bomb on that ref when we had that streak of like 16 games without a holding being called on the opposing team.

****, my middle school coach called everything dog ****. Played like dog ****, smelt like dog ****, looked like dog ****, softer than dog ****.

I wouldn’t trust my kid with a guy who didn’t cuss honestly.
