2009 Miami Football Preview:
Head Coach: Randy Shannon
The 2009 season could be the year that the Miami Hurricanes finally return to their position among the nation's elite teams. The Canes were a mainstay in the top 10 for much of the last few decades, but have struggled for a few seasons under Head Coach Randy Shannon. Shannon's a fantastic coach, but has to compete with stiff in-state competition for the top recruits in the state of Florida. If Shannon can get the Canes defense playing up to their abilities and also get some production from the offense, then there will be very few teams who can give Miami a game.

The University of Miami began collegiate football competition in 1926. The Hurricanes have had some legendary coaches including Andy Gustafson, Howard Schnellenberger, Jimmy Johnson, Dennis Erickson, Butch Davis, and Larry Coker. Under these incredible coaches, the Hurricanes won 5 national Championships - in 1983, 1897, 1989, 1991, and 2001, as well as 9 conference titles. Miami's most celebrated rivalries are with Florida and Florida State. The last quarter century has also shown the Hurricanes to be a springboard for a wealth of NFL talent: Vinny Testaverde, Warren Sapp, Santana Moss, Steve Walsh, and Bernie Kosar to name just a few.
The Miami Hurricanes played their home games at the Miami Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida since 1932, but the program announced that starting in 2008 the team will play at Dolphin Stadium, now LandShark Stadium. The move has been met with criticism, some claiming that the move from the Orange Bowl to LandShark Stadium has already cursed the Miami Dolphins. It should be interesting to see how this storied program performs with a new coach, a new stadium, and rumors of curses flying. Buy Miami Hurricanes tickets and be a part of college football history!
