Welcome to the weekend Miami fans - we wish we had a better news to bring to you to start it. Miami’s dreadful on-field performance in a 14-0 beating by Louisiana Tech was bad enough. But a sudden slew of changes likely ensures next season will be quite different from this one - for better or for worse.
Without further ado, here’s your news and notes for the the last Saturday of 2019.

It’s official - after much speculation, first-year offensive coordinator Dan Enos has been let go. After experiencing success in the SEC, improving Arkansas and getting a lot of credit for his work in Bama with Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa, Enos failed miserably in Coral Gables this season. Miami had a lot of issues with offensive personnel - but Enos’ inability to find rhythm as a play caller and to maximize what he had ultimately led to his dismissal.

Deejay Dallas Declaring Early For NFL Draft https://t.co/Gy5TTuYr8M pic.twitter.com/R0ktAhSPLA

More juniors are joining the NFL - this time it’s CB Trajan Bandy and RB Deejay Dallas. Dallas isn’t the biggest surprise; there’s a load of young, talented runners behind him who could eat into his snaps. He’ll follow Travis Homer’s lead with early entry and should find a role. Bandy is definitely a shocker. He’s a short corner, likely pigeonholed to playing nickel if he makes it to the league. With two solid seasons as a starter under his belt, will it be enough to hear his name called?

Maybe the ugliest film review of the year - not a lot to be impressed with in a 14-0 bowl game embarrassment.
