The Miami Hurricanes head coach said, “I’m a parent myself and I think it’s important to teach our own children to handle stuff like adults in a face-to-face manner. As it relates to posting on social media I was raised very different than anything that would relate to anything such as that. A parent is very free and welcome to pick up their son if they’re not happy with their playing time at the University of Miami and I guess that’s my philosophy.”

The Hurricanes have a 5-5 record on the season after winning at Georgia Tech.

Miami heads to Clemson this Saturday where they are nearly three touchdown underdogs.

The Hurricanes need to win either at Clemson or the home finale against Pittsburgh to become bowl eligible.
