Enjoy retirement, turnover chain. You were a beacon of college football light.
Miami coach Mario Cristobal confirmed Thursday at his ACC media days appearance that Miami would no longer be breaking out the iconic jewelry after forcing a turnover.
The turnover chain was introduced in 2017 and its various iterations have been a big part of the Miami program for the past five seasons. Former coach Manny Diaz was the team’s defensive coordinator when the chain made its debut. But the turnover chain era is now over, just like Diaz’s tenure as Miami head coach. And Cristobal really didn't seem too inclined to talk a lot about the chain being put out to pasture on Thursday.
