Watch: Mario Cristobal Coaching New Miami Player

There's a different side to Mario Cristobal that many people do not get to see

Many Hurricanes fans see Miami's Mario Cristobal during press conferences and on the sidelines.

Few of those Canes fans see Cristobal coaching football. During Miami's second spring practice, he certainly went into his days of being an offensive line coach. Cristobal spends a good deal of his time watching offensive line play on game day and during practices, and this next video by 305 Sports is the head man being directly involved with 247's #4 overall junior college recruit, Markel Bell:

A tip of the cap to 305 Sports. It's a cool video. Also note that Cristobal is really detailing what he wants Bell to do; it's all about the details. That's the old saying anyway. It's now up to Bell to utilize what Cristobal and the rest of the UM staff continue to teach him.

With Francisco Mauigoa out for spring ball, this is an excellent chance for Bell to showcase his skills and at least be the backup offensive tackle this fall. With his massive 6-foot-9 and 340-pound frame, it will be interesting to see if Bell receives a shot to play each of right and left tackle.
