No they were the Dallas Cowboys of the 80's because they basically had the same coach and some star players on the roster. It's the reason I'm a Cowboys fan present day being from Miami. The Hurricanes 2.0 aka Dallas Cowboys of the 90's.

Im an Ohio State Buckeye til the day I die! However i love college football, and give respect where respect is due, and that Miami team from 1999-2003, was a bad team.

[@ashleychase9759]

Schennelenberger was the Dolphin's Offensive Coordinator before going to the U. He brought the Dolphin's playbook and passing attack with him. He Believed that by throwing the ball, the 'canes could compete and win immediately. It worked because most teams did not see this type of passing attack and had no about how to defend it. Case in point, Nebraska.

[@thomaspetty3890]

Just look at the talent that passed thru miami ! The NFL CERTAINLY DID !!

[@CapeFear1]

I agree it was definitely the passing attack that was the key to early success and then they also built a very quick and formidable defense after that in a short time. I have never been a Miami fan but what they accomplished under 3 different coaches is the most amazing thing. 3 different coaches, then a fall off due to scandal and then a 4th coach brings them back to the top. Today I think they are mediocre and the glory days are long gone. It kind of makes me think that Miamis key to rise and glory was initially being an independent. After they joined the Big east and ACC they seemed to fall off. Same exact scenario for Florida State. Rise as an independent, come back to the pack as a conference member

[@LynxStarAuto]

@@CapeFear1No Miami fell off because their recruitment sucks. After the drama and scandal, Miami tightened up their recruitment, and they tend to not offer scholarships anymore to the local hood boys that brought the program to the mountain top. The last time they made a splash was 2001, and it's not a coincidence they had 7 local talents on the roster. Including Andre Johnson and Frank Gore. Florida especially South Florida, produces some of the best talent in football. It used to be customary for them to move on to The U. But with all the BS rules and restrictions, the elite talent goes elsewhere. Miami needs to tell the NCAA to 🖕🏽and do the "Miami thing." The problem is, it's not feasible for them anymore because they make boat loads of money from out of state students who matriculate in the Medicinal and PT fields. The football program doesn't generate as much revenue as those specialty degrees do. And let's be real, white picket fence mom and dad don't want blue eyes, blonde Jane to go to school with a bunch of Miami goons. 🤷‍♂️

[@EdD-it1zs]

​@@CapeFear1Florida State has 16 ACC Championships and has won three national championships since joining the ACC. Also three Heismans, so many individual award winners, NFL guys, etc. Miami dominated the Big East but since they joined the ACC they fell off. No ACC Championships, they only contended for it once.

[@CapeFear1]

@EdD-it1zs That's true for sure. I think my thought lumped FSU in with Miami in the timing of when they (Miami) joined the ACC, kind of overlooked that Miami joined 10 or so years later. I still maintain though that both Miami and FSU made names for themselves as independents, the ACC has done nothing for them, if anything it has ironically dragged them down. Case and point was last year with FSU getting left out of playoffs as an unbeaten.

The Cowboys Triplets in the 1980s Head-to-Head in College: (1) Irvin’s Canes beat Aikman’s Sooners in 1985 at Norman - Irvin scores a TD; Aikman is knocked from the game. (2) Aikman’s Bruins beat Smith’s Gators in 1986 at the Aloha Bowl - Smith has a big day rushing but Aikman leads Bruins to several scoring drives to win. (3) Irvin’s Canes beat Smith’s Gators in 1987 at Miami - Irvin's Canes go on to win the Nat'l Championship.

i miss the Orange bowl walking distance to my house now they have that crappy marlins stadium where no one shows up wtf...

[@adam-thesportsguy6147]

Owen Jeremy I miss the OB as well...I have to admit...I have always hated Hard Rock but with the changes they made a few years ago and the excitement of the fans...I have to say I was wrong...I still think if we had a stadium of about 60,000 seat ON CAMPUS we would sell out much more and we would have a home field....that being said Brian Kelly of Notre Dame stated that the changes to Hard Rock make it a different stadium and a hard one to win in. The Megatrons in the 4 corners of the stadium are the crown jewel of our Hard Rock Stadium. Very excited for next year....Canes should be preseason Top 5-6 and will finally have more depth.

[@allensanto6627]

Miami was really only the predominant program nationally the 2nd half of that decade. They had that 83 title, but they were a big underdog in that game, not yet established as the team to beat. By 86 they were. A lot of it had to do with location too....Miami was hot in the mainstream in the 80's, the hip, fly place to be. Like L.A. and N.Y. in the 90's because of hip hop....it was where everyone wanted to claim a connection to, because it was a cool place. They didn't really have to recruit....it was where any big time recruit already wanted to be.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Yes and no Miami is still an awesome place, and most top recruits would play here with their eyes closed. Also important to note, many top recruits were/are local. South Florida produces incredible football talent. The fall off was simply because the school made a conscious effort to clean up its image. As such, they stopped recruiting all of those hungry kids from the hood who have nothing else going for them. The most lucrative program in UM is their school of medicine. It's a BIG money maker for the school. Also, the school is located in the wealthiest city of Miami (Coral Gables) where the median household income is north of 139k. Between the City of Coral Gables and the out of state student body, the school made a push to clean up their image. That meant purging the goons from their program.

[@erikmanzano8144]

RIP Schnelinberger

[@PastarocketS-sb7nk]

That two point conversion attempt against Notre Dame wouldn't have even been necessary if it wasn't for the bad call before they scored that TD. Miami had scored a TD prior, and had it taken away. Cleveland Gary had lost the ball, but only after he entered the end zone, and the ball hit the ground. Ground can't cause a fumble, and once the ball breaks the goal line its a TD. Officials said that they had made a mistake after the game, but it's too late then. Shame that a 36 game win streak ended because of a bad call, and honestly Miami could have kicked an extra point for the tie after they stopped the Irish and drove down the field for another score, but the Hurricanes were only about winning at that time. Had they been able to score that 2 point conversion, they really would have been able to prove that they were the better team. Even would've beaten the officials. 😉

The old canes where overrated they never blew out teams for a national title except for the 91 team and they only beat Nebraska 22-0 and it was a tie in bowl so basically they beat a bad Nebraska team so no they are not the greatest dynasty at all they even shared it with Washington and the in 92 got their ass beat by alabama

[@adamforman606]

It was a Different Time & ERA. Many of the Top Ranked College Football Teams did not even belong to Conference , Miami, Notre Dame , Florida State , Penn State. "Miami Vice" Television Show had taken the country by Storm. Howard Schnellenberger ( former Dolphins Offensive Coordinator ) had brought the NFL Pro-Set Offense to Miami and Jimmy Johnson brought the 4-3 Speed Defense. College Teams back then were literally almost playing a College/Pro Team in Miami. They were always on National Television and ESPN night games. Almost every Top- Blue-Chip Hig- School player wanted to play for Miami in the 1980's & Early 1990's.
