According to sources, Miami is in talks with Mario Cristobal to become the next Hurricanes football coach.

A native of Miami and former Hurricanes offensive lineman and assistant, Cristobal has a lucrative contract offer from Oregon to remain the Ducks coach.

The school has not fired the coach, who is still recruiting for the school. Sources said that Oregon assistants were not informed about Cristobal's decision.

Miami is going to make major investments in its program and wants to build around Cristobal and a new athletic director. The school is looking for a new athletic director, but other candidates are still involved in the search. A source close to the search for an athletic director said that a hire had not been made.

He began his athletic administration career at Miami after earning a business degree.

Following the team's 38-10 loss to Utah in the Pac-12 championship game, Cristobal confirmed Oregon's contract offer.

"Oregon's working on some stuff for me, and that's what I have right now and that's the extent of the conversation," he said. I would report it if there was anything to report. I have.

Clara's son, Cristobal, traveled back to Miami to be with her. According to sources close to Cristobal, family reasons would motivate him more than financial ones.
