Benedict Hyppolite is set to join Manny Diaz's staff as a offensive graduate assistant a source told InsideTheU on Thursday.

Hyppolitte was the offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach at Florida Memorial. Prior to that he spent two season as the Carol City where he led the Chiefs to a 19-8 record.

Miami's staff has already been reworked a bit this month.

After Diaz dismissed offensive coordinator Dan Enos and replaced him with SMU's Rhett Lashlee, he also swapped offensive line coaches going from Butch Barry to Garin Justice.

In addition to those moves, the Hurricanes have hired a pair of new "offensive assistants" in former SMU staffers Jonathan Brewer and Kyle Cooper and seen a pair of offensive analysts from this past season leave with Joel Rodriguez taking over as FIU's new offensive line coach and Jesse Stone becoming an assistant director of player personnel at Arkansas.

In 2018 under the direction of Hyppolite, Carol City finished as the nation's 12th best team according to MaxPreps' Xcellent 25 poll. The Chiefs had one of South Florida's top offenses that year and it was led by current UM sophomore running back Cam'ron Harris.

From a recruiting standpoint, this move makes a ton of sense for Miami as it puts another well-respected South Florida coach in UM's football offices.

The Hurricanes open the 2020 season against Temple on Sept. 5 at Hard Rock Stadium. Miami travels to Michigan State on Sept. 26 after home games against UAB and Wagner. That's all before ACC play gets underway Oct. 3 against Pittsburgh.

Miami figures to be a contender in the Coastal after bringing in a pair of notable graduate transfers in Houston quarterback D'Eriq King and Temple defensive end Quincy Roche. King, who accounted for 50 total touchdowns in 2018, figures to be the perfect trigger man to run Lashlee's new wide-open spread offense. Roche on the other hand totaled 13 sacks this past season and was the American Athletic Conference's Defensive Player of The Year.
