Overview
- ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Miami reached new multi-year deals with offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson and defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman.
- Dawson coordinated the nation’s No. 1 scoring and total offense in 2024 and tutored Cam Ward, who became the No. 1 overall draft pick.
- In his first season, Hetherman led a defensive rise to No. 5 nationally in scoring defense from No. 70 the prior year.
- The moves bolster continuity after recent departures of position coaches to NFL teams, including the Cardinals, Bills, and Chargers.
- With Carson Beck entering the draft, Miami is expected to turn to Darian Mensah at quarterback in a familiar scheme.
