Miami is closing in on Mario Cristobal as its next head football coach barring a late surprise in the deal for more than $7.5 million a year, sources say.
One common theme has emerged as these negotiations have continued: Money is no object of concern at Miami, just as insiders suggested leading up to these negotiations.
Deep-pocketed boosters have step forward like Miami attorney John Ruiz, Stuart Miller and brothers Jorge and Jose Mas of the Miami-based infrastructure firm Mastec, and Board of Trustee member Stuart Miller.
The Hurricanes expect the hiring of Cristobal to be wrapped up quickly.
