The Miami Hurricanes have hired Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Jason Taylor to become the school’s next defensive ends coach, according to a report from Susan Miller Degnan and Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
Taylor spent last season on coach Mario Cristobal’s staff as a defensive analyst, but he now will take on an official assistant coaching role with the team. The 48-year-old Taylor replaces Rod Wright, who departed from Miami to join DeMeco Ryans’s new staff with the NFL’s Texans.
The Herald also reports that Taylor could potentially coach outside linebackers in addition to defensive ends with the Hurricanes.
