Miami Hurricanes swing for fences with Jason Taylor hire

As Mario Cristobal continues to build a top-notch coaching staff, another big name be added to the fold. Hall of Famer Jason Taylor is expected to join the Miami hurricanes staff in an off-field role per InsideTheU’s Gaby Urrutia.

Taylor made his name first on the gridiron, as he recorded 520 tackles, 139.5 sacks and 40 forced fumble’s while a member of the Miami Dolphins. Taylor spent 13 years with Miami finding tremendous personal success.

Taylor has been able to find success in the coaching ranks as well. Currently the defensive coordinator at St. Thomas Aquinas, the school has been able to win three consecutive 7A state titles.

This hire is just another notch in the belt for both Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes. We have talked about the depth of the coaching staff ever since the head coach was hired. Every coaching position is one of strength on this staff.

What can Taylor do for Miami Hurricanes?

Bringing in a guy like Taylor will be able to just give the coaching staff another set of eyes. Taylor was one of the best ever do it at his position. Another important piece to this is that he could help the Miami Hurricanes in recruiting. He is a familiar face in  not only the Miami area but the state of Florida. That combined with his knowledge of the game makes this a big get for the Miami Hurricanes program.

As far as coaching positions are concerned,  Cristobal has swung for the fences. Having somebody with as much football talent as Taylor in an analyst role just speaks to how deep this coaching staff truly is. It’s a testament to how people believe in what Cristobal is doing, and how people want to work for him.

Results on the field are what matter. However, at the end of the day, bringing Taylor into the program is a win for the Miami Hurricanes.
