Miami to stop using famous 'Turnover Chain'

Miami's famous "Turnover Chain" is being tucked away.

"It's not part of our culture," head coach Mario Cristobal told Brett McMurphy of The Action Network.

"We really just focus on getting better as a program," the 51-year-old coach added, according to McMurphy. "It is not a shot, a form of disrespect to anyone. History is history. We're just moving in a direction that doesn't involve it."

The Turnover Chain made its debut in 2017 and quickly became the talk of college football. The gold chain came in different variations throughout the five years the Hurricanes used it to celebrate defensive players who registered turnovers.

However, the Hurricanes have recorded fewer takeaways each year since the chain first came into the spotlight:

Miami hired Cristobal as head coach last December. He previously spent five seasons as Oregon's sideline boss, putting up a 35-13 record.
