Miami hired former Marshall defensive coordinator Lance Guidry to the same position Wednesday. Guidry previously agreed to join Willie Fritz's staff at Tulane earlier this offseason, but ultimately flipped his decision to join Mario Cristobal and the Hurricanes.
Under Guidry's guidance, Marshall finished No. 8 nationally in total defense and No. 6 in scoring defense at just 16 points per game allowed. The Thundering Herd improved to 9-4 in Charles Huff's second season -- Marshall's first in the Sun Belt -- with a win in the Myrtle Beach Bowl.
The 51-year-old Guidry replaces coaching veteran Kevin Steele, who left Cristobal's staff after just one season to join Nick Saban at Alabama for the third time.
