According to Barry Jackson, Susan Miller Degnan and Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald, Mario Cristobal, the head coach of the Oregon Ducks, has agreed to terms on a contract to become the new head football coach of the Miami Hurricanes. It could be worth more than $8 million per year.
According to Brandon Kamerman of KVAL News, Cristobal will meet with the Oregon players this afternoon to inform them of his decision.
He had until midday Monday to tell Miami if he wanted the job. Jackson reported that if Cristobal declined, the Hurricanes head coach would remain.
There is a deep connection between Cristobal and the program. He was a graduate assistant for the Hurricanes in 1998. The offensive line coach for the Hurricanes was also a tight end coach for the Hurricanes.
John Canzano of The Oregonian reported that Cristobal had a contract extension offer from Oregon. It was aggressive and in line with what Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly received from USC and LSU.
Riley will make more than $110 million over the course of his contract, while Kelly will make more than 95 million.
Willie Taggart was fired as head coach of the Ducks. He agreed to a five-year contract with a value of $2.5 million annually. He signed a new six-year, $27.3 million deal in December.
The Oregon team went 35-13 with Cristobal as its head coach and has had a winning record in each of his full seasons at the helm. His teams have made four bowl games.
The Hurricanes finished the season with a.500 record. It was the team's second straight winning record, and it was under the leadership of Diaz.
