Confirmed Alonzo Highsmith (joining Miami staff, 5.25 update)

[Odysseus]

Wow his job in the pros is spotting talent and now we have this master talent evaluator joining other alphas in Mario and Rad

 

[TakeitinDiaz]

Out of curiosity, how do the rules apply in regards to contact with recruits between a general manager vs an on field coach?

Man what a move! Mario and Dan have absolutely blown me away this off season. Everything is part of a plan, no detail is left untouched, and everything is being upgraded.

Alonzo and Mario would have never come back to Miami if we aren't all in about football and being back. LFG

It’s hard to describe the feeling of having an actual alpha dog as head coach instead of the scared girl who used to sit in that chair. The fact that we have a guy who welcomes strong leadership and responsibility alongside of him is something we have been missing for a LONG time.

Absolutely. There's no question that CFB is an "arms race" today. Mario has seen the kind of resources & commitment it takes to win consistently today and he's implementing a very successful blueprint...with some uniquely Miami flair.

It's awesome to see the highly talented army that Mario is assembling and the passion he brings to his job. I don't think anyone else would have brought this level of intensity & commitment to this job.

At its best, Miami Football is one of the most special things in all of sports. The program finally appears ready to ascend back to the top of the mountain. It is awesome to see what Mario and Rad are doing.

Cool. But what’s he gonna do specifically?

Mainly scout. He's essentially the head of the recruiting dept with a day to day that includes oversight and development. But that's just my guess. What do I know.
