Nov 15, 2025; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; against the Miami Hurricanes defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman watches from the sideline before the game against NC State Wolfpack at Hard Rock Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Miami has agreed to multi-year extensions with offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson and defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman after its run to the national title game last season, according to a report by ESPN.
Terms of the contract extensions, in years and salaries, were not reported.
Dawson arrived at Miami ahead of the 2023 season, immediately improving the Hurricanes' offense from 85th to 25th in total offense in Year 1. In his second season, he anchored the best offense nationally in total offense and scoring offense, which led quarterback Cam Ward to being a Heisman Trophy finalist and the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Hetherman left the same position at Minnesota to become Miami's defensive coordinator ahead of the 2025 season. The Hurricanes' defense finished the 2024 season 70th in scoring defense before surging up to fifth and leading the nation in sacks (50) in Hetherman's first season.
