Invoice Courtney has been appointed interim head coach for the rest of the season.
“After greater than fifty years in faculty teaching, it’s merely time,” stated Larranaga in an announcement. “There may be by no means an important second to step away, however I owe it to our student-athletes, our workers and the College of Miami to make this transfer now when my coronary heart is just not within the sport and I owe it to Liz, Jay, Jon, and my grandchildren to be a larger a part of their lives. The College wants a brand new chief of this system, one who’s each adept at and embracing of the brand new world of intercollegiate athletics. It has been the distinction of a lifetime to be part of the Hurricane Household and to characterize this world-class establishment. Most significantly, I’ve been so blessed to have coached the a whole lot of younger males who selected to put on the UM jersey and who’ve gone on to flourish of their respective journeys. I’ll all the time be a Cane.”
