After a season in which Miami's defense likely cost the Hurricanes a spot in the College Football Playoff, the Hurricanes will be making a change at defensive coordinator.

Lance Guidry is expected to be fired, sources tell CanesInSight. Against FBS opponents, Miami finished 70th in scoring defense (26.7 PPG), 50th in 3rd Down Defense (37.75%) and 82nd in takeaways (1.3),

Mario Cristobal issues the following statement on the decision:

“I want to first thank Coach Guidry for his contributions to the University of Miami.

“In a continuous effort to always improve all aspects of our program, I have decided to make a change on defense. We will move forward and make decisions that provide our players, staff and program the best opportunity to win and develop at the highest level.”

The defense was one of the worst in the ACC during conference play, struggling with communication and pre-snap movement, among other areas.

Miami will now look for its third defensive coordinator of the Cristobal Era, following Guidry and Kevin Steele.

My guess is Chevis. He was a Guidry hire, and his unit sucked elk nuts. Never bring me anything from Marshall again. Guidry, Chevis, Alson, and Hill were all subpar

**** did @E1k just get added to the group chat?

Dude didn't want to be this far from the Bayou, it was a bad fit all around. He made so many comments about food not being the same in Miami, his wife having to leave him at thanksgiving., etc etc... I don't think the guy wanted to be at Miami neither. Team suffered because of it.

Finally! @DMoney any truth to the rumors that Scott and Lightfoot are considering the portal? I'd hope getting rid of this bum would be a positive step in the right direction to hopefully convince them to stick around

I have enjoyed his pressers and the way he talks about his family and living in south Florida. Huge defensive regression could not be allowed to stand. Had to be done and I wish him well.

Gotta admit

You better perform with Mario or he’ll ship ya dumbass out.

This is what starting Jaden Harris for 13 games on defense gets you. Despicable choices get you excruciating consequences

The U is back to work

Had to be done. Cost this team a chance to play in the final 4 matchups.

Finally. But man, what is wrong with Mario's ability to assemble a decent staff? This will be the 3rd DC in 4 years, which is frankly absurd.

thank you iowa state for making it 100% certain that we get a new DC and a new portal QB

I'm sure both were 90% happening, but that game definitely sealed the deal

Only one id hold on to would be Dnic but id the new DCord wants to bring in all of his guys I wouldnt bat an eye to it

Feels like the entire defense has been poorly coached

I doubt he fires Jason Taylor. Too valuable in recruiting
