Miami Football Getting Rid of Iconic 'Turnover Chain,' HC Mario Cristobal Says

Timothy RappJul 20, 2022

The Turnover Chain is no more.

New Miami Hurricanes head football coach Mario Cristobal said Wednesday the program will do away with the short-lived tradition:

Cristobal's remarks don't come as a major surprise. Offensive line coach Alex Mirabal reportedly told recruit Francis Mauigoa in January that the Canes "got rid of the turnover chains and stuff like that. We're here to play football."

Dating back to 2017, Hurricanes defenders would don a chain after securing a turnover.

But no more. Like so many of South Florida's inhabitants, the Turnover Chain is retired.
