A week before the Miami Hurricanes are slated to begin spring practice, Mario Cristobal lost another assistant coach.
Defensive ends coach Rod Wright, a Houston native, left Miami’s coaching staff to become a defensive line coach with the NFL’s Houston Texans, according to multiple reports. But the Hurricanes may have a ready-made replacement for Wright already on staff.
The Hurricanes hired Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor as a defensive analyst last spring, and the Miami Dolphins legend drew rave reviews during his first year with UM.
“Jason Taylor has been great around the room,” defensive lineman Chantz Williams said during last year’s spring practices.
