Be hard pressed to find a better endorsement of @CanesFootball than what Javion Cohen had to say about @CoachMirabal and @coach_cristobal in this week's episode of the 'Behind the U' podcast 🗣️🗣️

Went into an SEC programs house, on the road, in front of 107,000, with a coach who has had a 4 year head start and had the ball with a minute left and a chance to tie.
Kids played their asses off!
I’m good!

Ruben Bain is so DAMN GOOD!!
But, why?
This, from Coach Hetherman, during fall camp, EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.
It’s not just the TALENT.
It’s the DESIRE to be GREAT & the WORK he puts in EVERY SINGLE DAY!!

Just play him the clip from Javion. Commit on the spot 👀👀
Washington LG Nate Kalepo, a 15 game starter on a Joe Moore Award winning unit, is on an official visit to Miami this weekend.
The 6-6, 327-pounder allowed just one sack in 923 snaps this past season.

Recorded this PRIOR to USF in regards to Cam Ward.
Feel the exact same after.
What he does on Sat. is a direct result of what he does Sun-Fri.
And for us = 😊😊😊😊😊

And this is likely why 🙌🏻 will be talking about Cole McConathy this season.

Notes from Greentree:
1. Sam Brown is every bit of 6’2” - impressive build/frame. Big & can move. Hit 21-22 on GPS
2. Anthony Campbell has made big strides. Expect him to contribute.
3. It’s just not what Cam Ward can do in the pocket, it’s what he does when things break down

We hear the word CULTURE a ton.
Here’s what CULTURE actually looks like.
You’ll find Bain & Mesidor working after practice with JT. ALWAYS!
Guess who joined the group?
Scroggins.
Guess what happens next year? Scroggins grabs Lowe. Or a ‘26 recruit.
And THAT IS CULTURE 🙌🏻

Tomorrow’s pregame coverage includes a 1-on-1 with Samson Okunlola.
@CoachMirabal made a great statement in camp about attention going to players who come and go, but not enough attention goes to the players that stay.
I asked Samson why he stayed. He gave a great answer.

Pat McAfee gave a S/O to the “nerds” at Cal-Berkeley
Might have been talking about the wrong school. Did some research and…
Cal GPA Spring ‘24 = 2.83
Miami GPA Spring ‘24 = 3.04
Miami GPA Summer ‘24 = 3.32
Cal APR 976
Miami APR 1000

Just going thru stats.
Miami’s best starting field position was own 30
LSU had possessions start at:
UM 47
Own 42
Own 44

UM 41

Thats tough to overcome.

What happened yesterday is DONE.
What matters MOST is what is NEXT.
Not who else won or lost in CFB.
What MATTERS IS FRIDAY NIGHT.
Nothing else!!
Stay the course. Don’t get bored with the process = SUCCESS.
Oh…and one more thing.
SHOW UP. SHOW OUT. PACK THE ROCK!

Interviewed Markell Bell prior to the Duke game.
Bet on himself. 2 years at JUCO to develop & create a better D1 opportunity.
But JUCO life, well it’s JUCO life.

From a QB as a player to a DC as a coach - Coach Hetherman discusses the transition.
And yes, it includes a ‘parenting’ reference we can all relate to..
Canes defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman is ready for his first season with @CanesFootball 🙌
He joins @joshdarrow on the latest episode of the 'Behind The U' podcast presented by DCIE.

J🙌🏻ST THE FACTS
(as @canesvoice says)
CJ Daniels is 1 of only 2 active FBS WR’s with 2500 receiving yards (2533) and 20 TD’s (24).
That ranks him 3rd among active FBS players in receiving yards.

Here is one clip from that interview….
I asked what Mark remembered from last year’s FSU game.
As you can imagine, there was a lot going on in his mind & his heart.
This week our @CanesFootball player spotlight was with @fletcherjr_mark . He and @joshdarrow had a raw, real, & emotional conversation. They talked in-depth about the loss of his father, which tragically happened a year ago prior to the FSU game. Link👇🏽
