Miami fired defensive coordinator Lance Guidry on Tuesday after late-season defensive woes effectively cost the Hurricanes a chance to play for a conference championship.

Guidry spent two seasons on the Miami staff after arriving from Marshall. While Miami showed growth in the early part of the season, the Hurricanes regressed in the final month, including a 42-38 loss to Syracuse in the regular-season finale with an ACC championship game berth on the line.

Miami blew a 21-0 lead and finished the regular season with losses in two of its final three games and failed to advance to Charlotte to play for the conference title.
