During the ReUnion special on FoxSports during Super Bowl week, Miami football legends Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Michael Irvin and Reggie Wayne discussed the Hurricanes program. One of the details that were discussed is that when it came to work ethic the culture in Coral Gables was passed down by the players.
Head coach Manny Diaz has routinely stated that the culture in the Miami football program has to be established and taught from the older players on the roster mentoring the younger players. Reed had players like Lewis to look up to and learn from.
