Miami Hurricanes hire O-line coach with NFL experience and RB coach with local ties

A day after naming former Alabama assistant Dan Enos the new University of Miami offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Hurricanes head football coach Manny Diaz announced the addition of running backs coach Eric Hickson and offensive line coach Butch Barry to the staff.’’

“We’re excited to welcome Eric and Butch to the Miami family,” Diaz said. “Both men are outstanding teachers with diverse coaching backgrounds, and I’m confident they will be tremendous assets to our offensive staff.”

Hickson, 44, is from Fort Lauderdale and coached running backs with the Kansas State Wildcats last season. Previously, Hickson spent three years as the Akron Zips’ running backs coach.
