Miami dumping Turnover Chain: UM coach Mario Cristobal said the Canes are getting rid of the Turnover Chain 'Its not part of our culture,' Cristobal told me. The Hurricanes hired Cristobal as their new coach in December, after he led Oregon for four seasons.
Miami won 10 games that season (and had a Power 5-best 31 takeaways) but the Canes are just 28-21 over the past 5 seasons. Miami made the sideline turnover gimmick a trend ever shool would eventually find a way to emulate. Miami had forced 19 turnovers the previous season, prior to the debut of the turnover chain. While the turnover chain produced great results for the Canes in 2017, the returns have been diminishing in recent years. In the first year of Miamis turnover chain, Diaz’s Hurricane defense forced 31 turnovers in a 10-3 season. That's really the best way to address it." It’s not part of our culture, Cristobal told McMurphy on Wednesday night. "We're just moving in a direction that right now doesn't involve it. "Certainly history is history, and whether it's positive, whether it's inconsequential, whatever it may be, it's still history and part of your program," Cristobal said. One day later, Cristobal said that his decision is "not a shot or form of disrespect to anybody or anyone." The chain has been used by the Hurricanes since the first game of the 2017 season under former coach Mark Richt and remained a sideline feature over the past three seasons under Cristobal's predecessor, Manny Diaz.Ĭristobal told the Action Network on Wednesday that the turnover chain is "not part of our culture," according to a tweet from the publication.

"Let's put it this way - we've been working so hard and paying attention to so many other things that, in my opinion, are much more critical to winning football games and having success that it really hasn't been a subject or a topic," Cristobal said.
The Miami Hurricanes are ditching the "turnover chain" for the 2022 season, according to first-year coach Mario Cristobal.Ĭristobal confirmed the decision Thursday at ACC media days. Miami Hurricanes to retire 'turnover chain,' according to new football coach Mario Cristobal
#Cristobal turnover chain upgrade
Watch Colin Cowherd discuss the Miami Hurricanes football team getting rid of their ‘turnover chain’ at the approval of new head coach Mario Cristobal, as Colin calls the gimmick ‘quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever seen.’Ĭheck out the segment above as Colin details how you can’t ‘fake cool’ in college football.You have reached a degraded version of because you're using an unsupported version of Internet Explorer.įor a complete experience, please upgrade or use a supported browser This whole ‘we fell on a football!’… SAN JOSE STATE TOOK THE BALL AWAY MORE THAN MIAMI.” (Full Segment Above) They pushed Ohio State all over the field in Columbus last year. Great recruiting, his teams are as tough as a two-dollar steak, and they win a bunch of games at Oregon, and when Cristobal was at Oregon they were cool. Mario Cristobal said ‘enough’, you can’t fake it. No city in America has more old guys trying to be cool who aren’t than Miami. Miami was celebrating this: ‘HEY, WE TRAIL 27-10, THERE’S A BALL ON THE FIELD, FALL ON IT! GIMME MY CHAIN!’ It was embarrassing. Miami was 118th in takeaways, that means San Jose State, UCONN, Central Michigan, and Rutgers took the ball away more, I looked it up.
Alabama didn’t need one, they DO take the ball away. The turnover chain is really quite possibly the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. No, you used to be cool because you won games. You didn’t have enough good players so you tried to fake it and pretend you were cool. Miami was trying to create swagger and you can’t fake it. Colin Cowherd: “I saw something this morning that made me really happy… Mario Cristobal said ‘yeahhh, we’re going to retire that turnover chain thing’… two words: THANK GOD.
