FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AF) — As the coaching carousel continues to move, speculation had grown that Arkansas offensive coordinator Kendal Briles would leave the program to link up with Mario Cristobal at Miami.
According to sources close to the situation, Briles has turned down the opportunity with the Hurricanes.
While there remains speculation whether or not he was officially offered the job from Cristobal, reporters in Miami have confirmed that he was indeed a top candidate for the offensive coordinator position.
Briles’ time at Arkansas has seen the top rushing offense in the SEC, and has been one of the best offensive attacks in the school’s history.
