Miami Hurricanes Dismiss Defensive Coordinator Guidry

The Miami Hurricanes have dismissed Lance Guidry from his position as defensive coordinator following a disappointing 2024 season marked by defensive struggles. Under Guidry's leadership, Miami's defense regressed, allowing 25.3 points per game overall and 30.8 points per game in conference play, ranking 68th nationally. The Hurricanes' defense was notably inconsistent, particularly during key losses against Syracuse and Iowa State, despite Miami having the nation's top-ranked offense. Head coach Mario Cristobal expressed gratitude for Guidry's contributions but emphasized the need for improvement as the team moves forward. The search for a new defensive coordinator is expected to begin immediately to strengthen the team ahead of the 2025 season. This decision reflects Cristobal's commitment to enhancing all aspects of the program to provide better opportunities for winning and development.
