First-year Miami head coach Mario Cristobal took the stage to open Thursday’s press conferences at the ACC Kickoff in Charlotte. Cristobal handled questions on the return of quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, the culture of Miami football and why he retired the turnover chain. Cristobal’s first season with the Hurricanes will feature a couple of faces familiar to Clemson fans: defensive coordinator Kevin Steele and former Tigers wide receiver Frank Ladson.
