Miami is expected to hire Minnesota Corey Hetherman as DC

The Miami Hurricanes have their defensive coordinator. Minnesota defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman will be taking the same position with the Canes.

In games against FBS opponents, Minnesota finished 10th nationally in scoring defense (18.3 PPG), 14th in yards per play (4.7) and 19th in yards per pass attempt against (6.3).

Like Mario Cristobal, the 44-year-old Hetherman comes from the Greg Schiano coaching tree, having coached linebackers at Rutgers from 2022-23.

Hetherman had tremendous success at the FCS level. In 2021, he was named AFCA FCS Assistant Coach of the Year after coordinating James Madison's No. 2-ranked defense in the nation. He also served as Maine's defensive coordinator from 2016-18, leading the FCS in rushing defense, interceptions and fumble recoveries in his final season.

Hetherman is a Massachusetts native who played quarterback at Fichburg State from 2003-06.

You know he's straight up taken human life before, right? Like, those are the eyes of a stone cold killer. The ACC is about to get real scared.

He’s Harasymiak’s guy when he was at Maine. Promoted him to DC at Maine, brought him to Rutgers to be LB coach when JMU was still fcs winning national championships under cignetti.

Harasymiak left Maine to be safety coach at Minnesota hence the connection to Fleck. Referred him over there.

If Harasymiak wasn’t going to UMass he would have been a great hire as well. Seen him at a clinic spend an hour just on tackling. Good teaching progression, good dude.

If you know anything about Fitchburg state football, the fact he went 21-11 as starting qb there is more impressive then any of his defensive coordinator stats lol

I’m sure he’ll do fine on field given what we saw this year. But it’s the recruiting I’m worried about.

With Heatherman and the other additions, MC just needs to attend some workshops in game time management and we'll at least play for the ACC CH GM.

I cannot wait until we play ND now!

in the past it's been a severe weakness of his, but this year i think he was fine in game management

Will turn our LBs into calculated assassins, which we haven’t seen in a minute.

Has experience working with DE’s as well, so should be able to get the whole front 7 on the same page. FCS coach of the year at JMU, only produced the 5th best Defense in America in his lone year to date at Minnesota. Massive talent deficiency up there as well call can presume, and yet his unit was very good in coverage (above a 85 on PFF). Relatively young (44) and hungry.

Close the deal Mario.
