The announcement that co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Ephraim Banda accepting the same position at Utah State will create change for the Miami football staff during the offseason.

Co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Ephraim Banda leaving the Miami football program for the same position at Utah State will create change for the Hurricanes staff during the 2021 offseason. Banda decided to accept the job with the Aggies under Blake Anderson to call his own defense.

The departure of Banda to Logan, Utah leaves the polarizing Blake Baker as the sole defensive coordinator for the Miami football program and the Hurricanes with an opening for a safeties coach.
