JUST IN: Mario Cristobal Resigns as Miami Hurricanes Head Coach, Jeff Stoutland Returns as Senior Leader
The University of Miami football program was rocked just moments ago as current head coach Mario Cristobal officially submitted his resignation letter, ending his tenure with the Hurricanes.
In a stunning turn of events, the Hurricanes confirmed that Jeff Stoutland, a Miami Hurricanes legend and widely respected coaching figure, has returned to Coral Gables to take on the role of Senior Head Coach.
Cristobal, who has been at the helm since 2021, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to lead his alma mater but stated in his letter that it was time to step aside for the program’s future growth. His decision comes after a rollercoaster stint marked by big recruiting wins, rebuilding efforts, and high expectations from the Miami faithful.
The Hurricanes wasted no time in turning to a familiar face. Stoutland, a cornerstone of Miami’s coaching history, previously served as the team’s offensive line coach and interim head coach during his earlier tenure. He went on to enjoy success in the NFL, most notably with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he built a reputation as one of the best offensive line coaches in the game.
“Miami is home,” Stoutland said in a brief statement upon his return. “This program means everything to me, and I’m honored to help restore the pride, tradition, and championship culture that the Hurricanes stand for.”
Fans erupted with excitement across social media following the announcement, hailing the move as a major step toward reviving the dominance of “The U.”
The Hurricanes athletic department announced that further details regarding Stoutland’s staff and immediate plans for the team will be shared in an upcoming press conference.
For now, the Hurricanes stand at the beginning of yet another new era—one filled with high expectations and the energy of a legend’s return.
