Woodiel named TE Coach, per FootballScoop

[One9]

As Mario Cristobal continues to rebuild and reshape his Miami Hurricanes' staff going into Cristobal's second year back home at his alma mater, Cody Woodiel is poised for a career break-through opportunity.

Sources tell FootballScoop that Woodiel is being elevated to coach the Hurricanes' tight ends, while former tight ends coach Stephen Field will shift into a different role that taps into Field's skills on and off the field.

Wow Fields got fired mid spring, we'll see how Cody does and now watch all the DVD supporters come and attack this hire

Odd timing but not surprised. This dudes name keeps popping up.

 

[Alex Del Piero]

That is not surprising for those who paid attention.

Maybe Fields wanted to move off field and focus on recruiting.

Not fired, demoted at best (we simply don't know if Field wanted that too).

Mario was looking to upgrade the TE coach position since last year as Field was the very last coach to be officialized (despite the fact the he was already there).

Flo mentioned a coaching move last night but I wasn’t expecting this. Hopefully this is a good move

His TE room stayed loaded so you right maybe he just wanted to step down

 

[The U is back to work]

Is Woodiel deserving of this? I’ve seen his name before but just odd timing I guess

On3 Sports named Miami's Jason Taylor and Cody Woodiel among their 65 "rising star" support staff members in the FBS on Monday.

Taylor's inclusion, despite only making the jump from high school to college coaching this offseason, is an obvious one. A Pro Football Hall of Famer and 12-year Miami Dolphins great, Taylor spent the last five years in Fort Lauderdale as a defensive line coach (2017-19) and defensive coordinator (2020-21) at one of the nation's best programs, St. Thomas Aquinas.

Woodiel's naming to the list may have come as a bit more of a surprise as he doesn't have a résumé quite like Taylor's, but he is also a sensible addition to the list. On3 reports that Woodiel turned down at least two FBS offensive line coaching gigs this offseason in order to remain on Cristobal's staff as he moved from one corner of the country to the other.

Woodiel spent three years across two stints with Cristobal at Oregon, formerly a graduate assistant (2017-19) before returning as an analyst in 2021. He now helps Cristobal and Alex Mirabal develop the Hurricanes' offensive linemen behind closed doors.

It wouldn't be much of a surprise to see these two leave Coral Gables sooner rather than later with an on-field gig waiting for them at a Power 5 program. That is unless Miami promotes them first.

from last summer. Both are now on-field coaches.

Let field recruit and do what he does best, which isn’t coaching TE’s.

 

[TpaBayFlyFisher]

Well, we no longer have, what many here called an "experienced all-star" staff. I hope youth and enthusiasm produce a better team.

 

[E1k]

So basically this is for more help with coaching the oline? I don’t really think it effects much for me to like it or not but im trying to understand it

Field this morning...

Was trying to get coley to replace him last year

That was the rumor, yes.

 

[Odysseus]

Well hope he can land us more guys to keep the TE U going
