Miami Hurricanes football head coach Mario Cristobal announced on Thursday, July 21 that the famous turnover chain will no longer be a part of the program.
The turnover chain, a staple part of the Miami defense for the past five years, was worn by a defensive player that had forced a turnover the previous play. However, after an underwhelming 2021 season and the transition to a new head coach, the chain is set to be retired.
“We just really focus on getting better as a program and have focused on technique, fundamentals, regimentation, academics, strength and conditioning, sports science, community service and that’s what the focus has been on,” Cristobal said during Miami’s Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) media day last Thursday.
