The program
Overview
Miami rose from struggles in the late 1970s to become a dynasty of the 1980s and early 1990s, winning titles under Howard Schnellenberger (1983), Jimmy Johnson (1987) and Dennis Erickson (1989, 1991), and later under Larry Coker (2001). 'The U' produced Heisman winners Vinny Testaverde and Gino Torretta and a long line of NFL stars. Under Mario Cristobal, the Hurricanes reached the CFP national title game after the 2025 season.
