Miami’s shootout loss in the Pop-Tarts Bowl didn’t leave a sweet taste for the defense, and neither did the Hurricanes’ slippage from 9–0 to missing the College Football Playoff.
Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal announced the firing of defensive coordinator Lance Guidry on Tuesday via a statement from the university. Guidry’s defense gave up 42 points in the final two losses of the season in addition to four other games where the Hurricanes gave up 30 or more points.
