Sources: Miami Gives Oregon's Mario Cristobal Monday Deadline to Accept Offer

Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal has a deadline of Monday at noon to accept an offer from Miami, sources tell Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger.

Cristobal has gone 35–13 in four seasons with Oregon, including three straight appearances in the Pac-12 championship game. Cristobal was also named as the AP Pac-12 coach of the year in 2019 after winning the first of back-to-back conference titles.

The 51-year-old head coach grew up in Miami and won two national titles as a player with the Hurricanes in 1989 and '91. He previously served as the tight ends and offensive line coach with Miami before becoming the head coach at FIU in 2007.
