About this episode
Miami Hurricanes land Favian Upshaw as running backs coach, sparking debate about Cristobal’s hiring philosophy and shaking up the program’s offensive outlook. Can Upshaw’s NFL game-planning and player development experience elevate Miami’s loaded backfield and answer fans questioning another under-the-radar hire?
Alex Donno and Larry Blustein break down Mario Cristobal’s rigorous interview process, what makes Upshaw the right fit, and why the ‘Canes running back room is a coach’s dream. Discussion shifts to the NCAA’s aggressive plan to crack down on shadow portal transfers and how proposed penalties could reshape college football recruiting. Plus, recruiting heats up as Miami pushes hard for stars like Nick Lanier and Joshua Dobson amid a wild west of AI-generated highlight tapes and roster battles with rivals. Can Miami capitalize on its national runner-up momentum to win key commitments and stay ahead of the game?
