| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another edition of Through the Smoke, a Miami Hurricanes Football and Recruiting podcast here |
| 0:22.2 | on the 24-7 Sports Network. |
| 0:25.3 | Have a podcast here where we are going to talk about football and recruiting back from |
| 0:31.0 | ACC Media Days, and the recruiting quiet period is currently upon us here before it gets shut down in August for the start of fall camp around the country. |
| 0:45.1 | So get a little, what, five, six, seven days here of recruiting opportunities to have players on campus. |
| 0:52.4 | And Miami is putting something together this weekend |
| 0:56.9 | in terms of a cookout. We'll get into that. Who's expected to be there, et cetera, et cetera. |
| 1:02.1 | David Lake and Gabby O'Hrutia both on this podcast. So let's dive into it. Let's start Gabby |
| 1:08.7 | with ACC Media Days. And again, go check out the website for kind of in-depth takeaways and news and notes from that session. Miami went through the paces on Tuesday. I got someone on one time with Mario Cristoball and the |
| 1:29.5 | guys in addition to all the group interviews. So definitely have some thoughts, et cetera. And so I |

| 2:06.3 | I think the bottom line is football coaches in general, all coaches in general, believe in culture and how it matters. |
| 2:15.9 | And I think Mario Cristobal would be on the higher range of coaches that believe in the importance of culture. |
| 2:25.9 | And I think if we're being real, right, every coach has their strengths and weaknesses, |
| 2:29.8 | what they bring to the table as a coach in terms of expertise. |
| 2:37.3 | And when we talk about Mario Cristobal's profile as a head coach, I think it starts with recruiting prowess. We all know he does that at a |
| 2:44.7 | very high level, especially amongst the head coaches. Not many are going to put in the effort he |
| 2:50.4 | does in terms of recruiting. |
| 2:54.0 | Number two, obviously, he's an offensive line expert. |
| 2:57.6 | That's where his background is, both as a player and as a position coach. |
