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.

Board needs to chill out on asking menmon for his opinion on everything. I’m tired of seeing it. What’s next you’ll ask him what to wear tomorrow? He could tell the board aliens are coming on earth tomorrow and you’ll believe it. Form your own opinions

So, what do you think?

I don’t expect this dude to coordinate a Top 10 defense. We honestly don’t even need that to win this league. **** yeah it’d be nice, but I am very confident we’re going to be good on offense again. Beck’s health obviously contingent but if he’s good, the offense will be good. No, it won’t be #1, but again, you don’t need that to win the ACC. Have a very good offense, which imo is very likely, and just pair it with a good defense. That’s all we need.

If Beck is fully healthy by June, and the defense is top 25-30 in the country, we should win the ACC. I just don’t see how the offense can be bad if Beck is healthy with this OL. The last 2 seasons, our QBs have had all ******* day to throw the football. That shouldn’t be any different this season.

DREW!

I noticed Minnesota safety had 6 sacks. Thats a very high number for a DB.

So we can expect a lot of safety blitzes i imagine.

Uninspiring hire… Mario given ample financial resources to hire elite assistant coaches… and he settles for lesser coaches.

Mario could have tried to lure an NFL defensive coach.

This comment from Corey Heatherman is refreshing to hear. If he puts in the work to back it up, this will definitely be a top 15 defense

His defenses don’t get beat by being out of position. Sound, smart and well coached.

I watch a lot of Gophers football, I thought they’d lose a step after Rossi went to Michigan State. I’d argue the defense was a lot better this year.

This all I needed to see right here

At one point in a game Cam just stopped trying to scramble for a few seconds because there was NO pressure at all. I bet Beck has never had that.

Hopefully their is no adjustment needed to adapt down here. He has never coached south of Virginia. Let's hope for a couple more portal spots filled by the 22nd and the rest of the staff filled out soon. More good times.
