The "turnover chain" has been placed around the neck of the Hurricanes player responsible for creating a takeaway since 2017 under head coach Mark Richt. The tradition continued under coach Manny Diaz who was fired in December after three years as head coach of the storied program.

"It is not a shot or a form of disrespect to anybody or anyone," Cristobal told reporters at ACC Kickoff Football media days, according to The Athletic. "Certainly, history is history. And whether it's positive, whether it's inconsequential, whatever it may be, it's still history and a part of your program. We're just moving in a direction that right now doesn't involve (the chain)," Cristobal told reporters at the ACC Football Kickoff on Thursday.
