Mario Cristobal is building a legendary coaching staff in Coral Gables. In part four of this series on Hurricanes coaching staffs of the past, we’re going to take a look at the 2000 staff hired by program re-build architect Butch Davis. Davis’ staff put together the pieces that became Larry Coker’s National Championship in 2001.
Cristobal’s staff has Broyles Award winning assistants and former Power 5 head coaches on board. They’re recruiters, teachers (literally, multiple guys on staff are former high school teachers and coaches) and more importantly professionals that command a room.
We’ve looked at Schnelly in ‘83 and Johnson in ‘87, now let’s take a look at the 2000 staff, the only staff in this series that failed to win a National Championship while Butch Davis was the head coach at Miami.
