The Miami Hurricanes are no different than any other team, and could have easily gone through the season last year and ended with only one loss. There is really only one game anyone can point to where the Hurricanes were out of it early and had no chance to win the game in the fourth quarter. The team has many flaws just like others, and they will have to overcome these if they want to win the ACC and even have a shot at competing for a National Title. Here are four critical flaws that...

The NCAA banned college coaches from text-messaging recruit back in 2007 because of the potential cost to a student athlete who did not have an unlimited text messaging plan. This has become a growing problem because the NCAA was asleep at the switch when text messaging became a primary means of communication in this country. The Miami Hurricanes have self reported several texting infractions in several sports, Football, Track, and possibly baseball. Personally the fact that a team can be put... [Read more]

On Wednesday Randy Shannon signed a new four year deal to re-up as the Head Coach of the Miami Hurricanes Football Team. Many people speculated and debated on whether Shannon deserved an extension or not because although the team has improved every year under his watch, there are still some questions. This is a good move for the football program, but I believe it was made for bigger reasons than just the X’s and O’s. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the most of the... [Read more]

I just whipped his team, shouldn't I make more money than him? There is an 800 pound Ibis in the room no matter what subject comes up regarding Miami Hurricanes Football. That would be the contract extension of head coach Randy Shannon, who right now is the 11th highest paid coach in the ACC. Not to mention that he is not really the 11th highest paid he is tied with the guy in 12th place Frank Spaziani of Boston College. In one of my other articles I talked about how “cheap” Miami can...

On September 11th, 2010 the Miami Hurricanes will fly into Columbus to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. This is going to be one of the toughest tests of the season, as Ohio State has been one of the top programs in College Football over the last eight years. I would say a lot of that has to do with playing in the Big Ten which is a weakened conference up until last season, but Miami as always can match Ohio State athlete for athlete and should be able to win this game. This game is about revenge.... [Read more]

The Miami Hurricanes wrapped up week two of Spring practice with a Saturday scrimmage. The offense had some positive and some negatives, the running backs performed well which is to be expected. Damien Berry had 48 yards on eight carries, Lamar Miller had 32 yards on nine carries, and Storm Johnson added 34 yards on six carries continuing the steam he has built up so far in spring practice. The wide receiving core was another story, there were many dropped passes by the receivers and tight ends,... [Read more]

Written by Sports Session on February 15, 2010 in College Football, Front Page Features
The 2010 Football Season for the Miami Hurricanes is going to be an important one. The Hurricanes went 9 – 4 last season, but could have very easily went 11- 2 if they make a play here or there. With most of the team returning, and some high profile recruits from previous seasons set to make their debut the expectations for 2010 are high. They Hurricanes have another tough schedule to open the season, and will not have a lot of time to figure things out. They are expected to compete for their... [Read more]

In order to understand where the Miami Hurricanes football program is at this current time, it is helpful to look at the events that led up to the current regime taking over. Many will look at Miami’s recruiting classes and scoff at the number of five, four, and three star players compared to schools like Florida and Texas. But remember when the Hurricanes came off of their last National Title they were reeling in four and five star recruits seemingly on a daily basis. All of that successful... [Read more]

The Miami Hurricanes currently have the 17th ranked recruiting class according to Rivals.com, some may consider that poor if you believe that player rankings are an accurate measure of how a player will turn out. Historically when Miami has been good they didn’t necessarily have the best recruiting classes according to the rankings. The Hurricanes have historically recruited players that fit their system rather than ones that were highly ranked according to a service like rivals or scout. Well... [Read more]

In the wake of the Champs Sports Bowl loss a portion of the Miami Hurricane fan base is up in arms, and the fire Randy Shannon brigade has started up again. I really find it interesting that the landscape of sports both pro and college has started to become fire the coach as a solution to everything, you can’t keep switching coaches and coordinators until you get lucky and find a combination that works. Yes there are a handful of coaches who have an impressive track record when turning... [Read more]
