CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal is a former Miami offensive lineman, so it is not surprising when he spends a lot of his time working with the players in the trenches.
“If you’re an offensive lineman and you come here, I’m just telling you the head coach is with you most of practice,” rising sixth-year offensive lineman Justice Oluwaseun said. “I’ve never seen it. I’ve never had a head coach who is literally doing individual drills, and he’s literally teaching me the technique I’m supposed to do. And it just shows you what type of coach he is.”
Assistant head coach Alex Mirabal is also the offensive line coach. The combination of the two experienced former linemen has the offensive line improving steadily as spring practice progresses.
