16. Miami

The good

“The U” defined an era of college football. Stars like Michael Irvin, Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis have etched their way into every “Greatest of All Time List” at both the college and pro level. When it comes to experiencing mountaintops, few fans outside of Miami and Tuscaloosa have lived to see what the Canes have accomplished.

The bad

Swings and misses on the recruiting trail and ineffective coaching landed the Canes in a word with Turnover Chains and broken hearts. The memory of what was can only placate a fanbase for so long.

The bottom line

Miami is one of the most identifiable programs in college football history. They’re not too far removed from a 15-year stretch which featured four national championships and five additional Top-10 finishes,

Once the kings of the state of Florida, Miami is living on memories hoping to return to glory. Despite the tough times, there’s no taking away what those decades of success brought.
