The hiring of Rhett Lashlee as Miami’s new offensive coordinator has been the biggest move that the Hurricanes have made all offseason, no questions asked. Given Miami’s struggles on offense the past several years, Lashlee definitely has his work cut out for him.
UM’s head coach, Manny Diaz, faced a similar situation when he was hired in 2016.
When Mark Richt made Diaz the Canes defensive coordinator, Miami had just endured five rough years under previous DC Mark D’Onofrio. Known in the past for having a dominant defense nearly every season, D’Onofrio’s Miami teams did just the opposite defensively.
