The Miami Hurricanes have made a significant move to bolster their defensive coaching staff, signaling a fresh approach for the team in the upcoming season. This off-season, Miami has been actively reshaping its coaching structure to address areas of need and elevate their defensive game. With the defensive backfield being a primary focus, the Hurricanes were determined to bring in a coach with a proven track record of success to lead their secondary.
Under the guidance of head coach Mario Cristobal, Miami has already seen a number of key changes to its staff, all aimed at strengthening the defense and setting the stage for future success. The latest addition to the team’s coaching roster is expected to play a pivotal role in improving the performance of Miami’s defensive backs, a group that’s seen plenty of turnover and growth in recent years.
Enter Will Harris, a coach with a history of success in developing top-tier secondary players. Harris joins the Hurricanes after a successful stint with the Florida Gators, where he had a major impact on their defensive backfield. Known for his ability to develop young talent and elevate teams’ pass defenses, Harris is poised to bring his expertise to Miami’s defense, helping to turn the secondary into a formidable force in the ACC.

Before his time at Florida, Harris had already built a strong reputation as a defensive backs coach, having worked with several high-profile programs. His experience and accomplishments, including improving defensive pass rankings and mentoring key players, made him an ideal fit for the Hurricanes. Miami’s defense now stands to benefit greatly from his guidance and his ability to maximize player potential.
With Harris on board, the Hurricanes are set for a promising new chapter in their defensive development. His arrival signals a shift in Miami’s approach to defense, and with the strong coaching staff already in place, the Hurricanes’ secondary is primed for a big leap forward in the upcoming seasons.
