Hearing that two candidates are currently at the top of the list for the wide receivers coach opening.
Leonard Hankerson, current 49ers WR coach, and Lonnie Galloway, the current passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach at North Carolina.
Either guy would be a home run hire. Hankerson would be a South Florida native that returns home to Coral Gables with NFL experience. His college experience is limited to Stephen F. Austin and UMass but he has the background to help Miami get into schools like St. Thomas Aquinas and is a younger coach that can connect to the kids, especially the ones that are homegrown.
Galloway is one of the best wide receiver coaches in the country. He has experience with new offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson from their time at West Virginia. He has recruited big time South Florida receivers like Ivan McCartney, Jovon Durante and Stedman Bailey. Plus he has mentored guys like Tavon Austin, Kevin White, Dazz Newsome, Dyami Brown and Josh Downs, all of which were huge producers on the college level.
I'm also still hearing that Boston College defensive back coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim could be added to the staff with an exit from current defensive back coach Jahmile Addae. It looks like Cristobal may be clearing house and he could be next.
Another coach I am hearing potentially on the hotseat is tight ends coach Stephen Field. Texas A&M wide receivers coach James Coley did interview with Miami and could be in the race for the wide receivers job but also the tight ends gig, possibly replacing Fields.
