Rebuilding The U: Mario Cristobal's Mission

At the turn of the millennium, Miami dominated college football, with top recruits flocking to play for them. However, after their championship runs in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Hurricanes' dominance and recruiting edge began to fade.

The team's downfall was attributed to a mix of factors, including on-field performance. Under head coach Larry Coker, the team's performance initially flourished but quickly declined. Despite landing top-tier talent, many recruits failed to meet expectations, hurting the team's on-field performances.

Notable examples include prospects like Willie Williams, who were expected to become future stars but never lived up to their potential.
