Miami is more than just another rivalry game for FSU OC Tim Harris Jr.
From Hurricane Hall of Famer to FSU coach, Tim Harris Jr.'s rivalry ties run deep heading into Miami.
Tim Harris Jr., the second-year offensive coordinator for Florida State, considers Saturday's rivalry game against No. 3 Miami to be more than just another game. Born in Miami and a four-time All-American track athlete at the University of Miami, Harris spent the 2023 season on Miami's coaching staff. He now returns home to face the Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium, excited for his family and the opportunity for his players.
Harris, who built his reputation as a high school coach in Miami, understands the significance of the rivalry. He reminds players that these games are important, but this particular matchup holds a special place. Many players on both teams grew up competing against each other in youth leagues and have personal connections. Despite the changing landscape of college football, FSU and Miami remain one of the sport's defining rivalries, and Harris believes that the team that sticks together and makes plays will be victorious.
