Miami Hurricanes new WR coach fits well with offensive staff

New Miami Hurricanes wide receivers coach Rob Likens is the third hire in the 2020 offseason by Manny Diaz to the offensive staff. New offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee, new offensive line coach Garin Justice and Likens all have experience as offensive coordinators in the past.

Likens was the passing coordinator and wide receivers coach at Arizona State under former Sun Devils head coach Todd Graham. After Herm Edwards replaced Graham, Likens was promoted to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2018. He remained in that position before being let go at the end of the 2019 season.

With Likens running the Sun Devils offense in 2018, Arizona State was the only Power Five program in the country with a 3,000-yard passer, 1,500-yard rusher and 1,000-yard receiver.
