In this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Taylor Lewan and Will Compton head to Miami! Mario Cristobal joins The Boys to talk last year’s wins, next season’s expectations, and how the Miami Hurricanes football are improving this offseason.
In the intro, the guys preview the NFL Draft and call Delanie Walker (aka “QB Guru”) for his take on Ty Simpson’s stock. They also drop their Clean Takes and name Jacob Rodriguez as the STEAL of the 2026 draft.
Cristobal delivered a masterclass—breaking down Miami’s practice structure, how he evaluates recruits (mindset over hype), and why seeing it live matters. He shares the full Penei Sewell recruiting story, dives into NIL, and explains how the program handles adversity. The convo hits building Miami the right way, locking down South Florida, and surrounding the program with the right coaches.
Plenty of gems throughout: Carson Beck transfer talk, freshman OL already making noise, and Cristobal’s long-standing relationship with his OL coach. Plus, classic Lewan stories (including wild recruiting antics), a breakdown of Reuben Bain vs. Lewan, and why the “short arms” narrative is nonsense. Cristobal also talks discipline (“early is on time”), Cuban coffee habits, hiring philosophy, and why he’ll never say “The U is back.”

Get on the bus with NFL players Will Compton & Taylor Lewan! The Boys are letting you in on their hilarious, high-energy (and often heartfelt) conversations. Topics range from exclusive stories to active player perspectives to out-of-left-field hot takes on things you and your friends only discuss behind closed doors. Sometimes they chat with a guest, sometimes it's just the two of them, but it's always a good time when you're Bussin' With The Boys.
And yes, this is the podcast where Mike Vrabel said he'd cut his piece off for a Super Bowl.
