Mario Manuel Cristobal (born September 24, 1970) is an American football coach and former player. He currently is the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at the University of Oregon. He was the head coach at FIU from 2007 to 2012, becoming the first ever Cuban-American Division I head football coach.
Cristobal played high school football at Christopher Columbus High School in Miami, Florida. He graduated in 1988.
Cristobal was a four-year letterman with the University of Miami Hurricanes football team between 1989-1992. During this time, Cristobal was a member of the Hurricanes' 1989 and 1991 national championship teams and in 1992 earned First-Team All-Big East Conference as an offensive tackle.
Cristobal was interviewed about his time at the University of Miami for the documentary The U, which premiered December 12, 2009 on ESPN.
After graduating from Miami in 1993, Cristobal was signed by the Denver Broncos in 1994 as an undrafted free agent playing only in the preseason. He then went on to join the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe for the 1995 and 1996 seasons before retiring to pursue coaching.
Prior to being named FIU's head coach, Cristobal spent two stints at Miami. From 1998 to 2000, he served as a graduate assistant. From 2004 to 2006, he served as tight ends coach and offensive line coach. From 2001 to 2003, Cristobal was the tight ends and offensive line coach at Rutgers University under Greg Schiano.
