In this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Taylor Lewan and Will Compton travel to Miami, Florida! Mario Cristobal sits down with The Boys to discuss last year’s wins, next year's expectations and where the Hurricanes have seen improvement in the offseason.

In the intro, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan preview the NFL Draft, They call Delanie Walker “The QB Guru” to get his take on Ty Simpson’s draft stock. Afterward, The Boys give their Clean Takes (thank you, Kevin’s Natural Foods) and say Jacob Rodriguez is the STEAL of the 2026 NFL Draft. 

Mario Cristobal pulled up and gave a masterclass. We got into how Miami really operates with defensive and offensive meetings, what it means to conduct elite practices, and why recruits need to see it live. He told the full Penei Sewell recruiting story and broke down how he identifies guys with the right DNA, mindset over hype. He didn’t duck anything either, from NIL and the idea that ball is still ball, to bouncing back after tough losses and the mentality inside the program when it matters most. We also hit on building Miami the right way, locking down South Florida, finding coaches that actually fit, and why he feels like he owes the program.

There are gems all over this one. From the Carson Beck transfer conversation to two freshman OL already making noise, plus his longtime relationship with his OL coach going back to high school. You get Taylor Lewan stories including some wild recruiting antics, a breakdown of Reuben Bain versus Lewan, and why the short arms narrative is nonsense. He also drops his one non negotiable, early is on time, talks Cuban coffee habits, hiring philosophy, and why you will never hear him say The U is back. Stay for the roast too, Coach held his own.
