Fans of the Oregon Ducks tried to warn the Miami Hurricanes faithful a few years ago when head coach Mario Cristobal left Eugene to take over at his alma mater down in South Beach — be careful getting your hopes up.

If modern trends are any indication, the 2024 coaching carousel will get spinning in earnest sometime soon. November tends to be a key month when it comes to schools making a final decision on embattled coaches -- whether that be a renewed vote of confidence or a move in another direction.

Coaching blunders are nothing new for Cristobal but his questionable game management skills hurt the Hurricanes in the final minutes of the game.
