Coach Mario Cristobal Sent A Stern Warning To Miami Players Following Nico Iamaleava Situation At Tennessee
KNOXVILLE - The hottest topic in college football has made its way to South Florida, as the saga between Tennessee and Nico Iamaleava was discussed by Miami coach Mario Cristobal on Saturday afternoon.
As the news continues to fester around college campuses, it's certainly been a hot-button topic for other coaches in the business. While Tennessee's Josh Heupel discussed the situation involving Nico Iamaleava not showing up for practice on Friday, leading to both sides going their separate ways, the question about what would happen at other schools is now becoming a talking point for other coaches.
While Heupel handled the situation on Saturday afternoon by choosing a certain way to discuss his former quarterback leaving his team high and dry one day before their annual spring game, Miami's Mario Cristobal was not as polite about a potential situation like this occurring within the Hurricanes' football program.
"We’re not going to do that at Miami, and I say that without any hesitation," Cristobal told reporters on Saturday. "If anyone’s thinking that — and they could be the best player in the world — if they want to play hold out, they might as well play get out. We don’t want to do that, and we don’t want Miami to become that. Too many guys have sweat and bled and laid it on the line on that field to ever become that kind of program."
The past 72 hours inside the Tennessee football building have been filled with emotions running high, amid the chaos that transpired when Nico Iamaleava decided to not show for practice on Friday, as word started to spread on Thursday evening that both sides were involved in contract negotiations.
