Overview
The Miami RedHawks play Mid-American Conference football at Yager Stadium in Oxford, Ohio, and carry one of the sport's most respected coaching pedigrees. Known as the 'Cradle of Coaches' for the long list of head coaches who passed through the program, Miami combines old-school tradition with one of the MAC's deepest championship trophy cases.
