The Miami Hurricanes have their defensive coordinator and it’s Corey Hetherman. Hetherman comes to Miami from the University of Minnesota where he guided the Golden Gophers defense for one season in 2024.
While at Minny, Hetherman improved the Gophers defense from 31st in SP+ defense in 2023 to 10th in ‘24. Bill Connelly’s SP+ also predicted the Minnesota defense to finish 22nd in his pre-season metrics with Hetherman outperforming that as well.
The Gophers improved drastically from ‘23 to ‘24 moving from 63rd overall in SP+ to 26th.
