The transition of Stephen Field to an off-field role and analyst Cody Woodiel to TEs was talked about by Cristobal today.
Mario said they felt this move helped in two different ways. It gave Field more of a high level “executive” role in recruiting and inside the program while moving one of the young stars of college football coaching onto the field.
Miami has lost multiple analysts to other programs in the past couple years, most recently being Terry Jefferson to Jacksonville State. This keeps Woodiel on the program and exemplifies the talents of Field in a better way.
Field is now able to focus on recruiting, combining with Dennis Smith to run that side of the program. Mario mentioned his efforts on the West Coast when the two were at Oregon. Field has proven his worth at Louisville, Oregon with Cristobal and now Miami where he has been vital in bringing in top tight ends. He also has strong relationships in Miami as a former high school coach.
