There’s a particular intensity that comes with following the Miami Hurricanes, a program where legacy and expectation are always in the conversation. Wide Right: A show about the Miami Hurricanes from The Athletic lives right in that space, guided by the seasoned perspective of Manny Navarro. As a South Florida native who has been covering the beat since the late 1990s, Navarro doesn’t just report on the team; he provides context that connects the present to a storied past. Each episode of this podcast feels like a detailed conversation, moving seamlessly from the program’s glorious history and its pipeline of NFL talent to the current realities under Mario Cristobal’s leadership. You’ll hear interviews and Navarro’s own takes, all grounded in his decades of reporting from Coral Gables. It’s for anyone who wants to go beyond the headlines and understand the nuances, the pressures, and the future of The U. This isn’t just reactive sports talk; it’s a consistent, informed dialogue about what it means to be a Hurricane, week in and week out.
