ring the alarm and fire up the sirens once again.

It's another emergency episode of the 24-7 sports football recruiting podcast.

My name is Blair Angulo, joined by the director of recruiting for 24-7 sports, Steve Wilfong.

And Steve, it just came down.

Oregon coach Mario Cristobal has left for Miami. What is the immediate reaction?

Well, Miami adds one of the more visible head coach recruiters in the country, kind of the

same thing I said about Lincoln Riley to USC, Marcus Freeman at Notre Dame. These are three

guys that are going to go out there and really pound the payment for their programs. There's not a head coach in the country that puts more time and energy into recruiting

than Mario Cristobal. So Miami is not going to get lack of effort from the top of the food chain

in that regard. And when you look at the state of Florida, going into this season, you had

Coach Norvell, who I think is a good recruiter,

Coach Mullen, who was a suspect head coach recruiter, and then Coach Diaz, who was kind of in the

middle. Now I think you have three really good head coach recruiters in that league right now with Napier

at Florida, Mario Cristobal at Miami, and then Coach Norval still at Florida State.

Obviously, Christobal, a Miami alum played there, also had a stint there as a GA, a stint there as

an assistant coaching the tight ends in the offensive line. And I spent the past four years at

Oregon after being the co-offensive coordinator and the offensive

line coach and then taking over for Willie Taggart once Taggart left for Florida State.

Now, this, I think, is significant for Miami because they needed to make a splash and they

needed to reinvigorate the program.

And we touch on some of those Florida roots for Mario

Cristobal, but he's going to be able to recruit nationally. I think he's done enough out west
