Bailey’s brother, Alford Bailey Jr., that Allen’s wife found him dead Tuesday at their Florida home. No official cause of death has been announced. Bailey, a Georgia native, played four collegiate seasons at Miami. He was named first-team All-ACC in his junior year with the Hurricanes in 2009 and made second-team All-ACC as a senior in 2010. The selected Bailey with the 86th overall pick in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He spent eight seasons in Kansas City and played two more years with the Atlanta Falcons. For his career, he racked up 22 sacks and 248 tackles in 133 regular season games across 10 seasons. “Allen Bailey was an excellent teammate, generous man, and kind soul,” the Chiefs wrote on social media. “We’re deeply saddened to hear of his passing, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.” “Way too young obviously,” Wednesday when reflecting on Bailey’s death. “One of my favorite players. A great kid. I’m sorry to see that happen.” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was Bailey’s teammate for two seasons in Kansas City, said Bailey was the first person he saw in the locker room during his rookie year. “I said ‘This isn’t the Big 12 anymore,'” . Colin McCarthy, a former Miami linebacker, also reflected on his former teammate’s death. “Lost a fellow brother today… prayers to AB family!” . “Love you Big Cuzzo!” This story uses functionality that may not work in our app. to open the story in your web browser.

The rule at Miami is to keep things simple, which means focusing only on the next task. And they take that policy very seriously. “Don’t even look to tomorrow. Just be 1-0 in the next task you have to do,” Rodriguez said shortly after a morning practice session ended this week. “The next task I’m going to do is some mobility, some film and some lunch. Just go be 1-0 at that, do it at the best of my ability.” Yes, he planned to go 1-0 — at lunch. Players and coaches see the big picture. Fans don’t have the same obligation. There might have been 500 or so Miami supporters gathered in one of the concourses of Hard Rock Stadium about a half-hour after the Hurricanes (6-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) held on to beat Florida State last weekend, sticking around to watch the end of the Notre Dame-BYU game. And when BYU won, a few Miami fans were chanting louder than others. “No. 1, baby!” they shouted. Sure enough, Miami on Sunday returned to the top spot in the AP poll for the first time since 2002, as would have been expected after a weekend with then-No. 1 Georgia and then-No. 2 Notre Dame both losing — clearing a path for the then-No. 3 Hurricanes to climb atop the rankings. But being there in October isn’t the goal, Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal insists. He says some version of the same thing every week: Going 1-0 in the next game — in this case, Saturday at home against Pitt — is all that matters, and that messaging is crystal clear to his staff and players. “I mean, relevance is great,” Cristobal said. “I think that comes in other forms aside from the ranking. I think all of us think the rankings only matter when the last game of the season is played. So, as it relates to that, that’s probably the best answer I could give. It’s the one that, to me, makes the most sense. I know it’s not an interesting answer or a juicy one, but hopefully it fits.” There’s a reasonable chance that some people with Miami quarterback Darian Mensah’s number texted him congratulations about the No. 1 ranking. Those texts haven’t gotten a response; Mensah got a new phone not long ago. But even if they got through to the right number, Mensah wouldn’t have said much. “I’m really just blocking out all the noise,” he said. There is a greater, and obvious, goal. Miami finished No. 2 last season after losing in the College Football Playoff national championship game. That’ll be the poll — and really, the only poll — that the Hurricanes judge themselves by this season as well. “Right now, we’re not worried about it. If we were No. 1, 30, 75, we’re not trippin’ about none of that,” linebacker Mohamed Toure said. “We’re just going out every single week and playing football — 1-0 mentality.” ___ Sign up for Top 25 poll alerts here, visit the Top 25 here and see AP’s full college football coverage here Thu, 22 Oct 2026 01:17:57 GMT Tim Reynolds https://sportspyder.com/cf/miami-hurricanes-football/articles/58394586 https://sportspyder.com/cf/miami-hurricanes-football/articles/58394586 false false Miami defensive line commit DeMarco Jenkins flipped to ACC rival SMU.
