The Miami Hurricanes: The Rise and Fall of the 'U'

The 2006 season for the storied Miami Hurricanes proved to be one of the worst for the program in three decades. Finishing with a 6-6 record, the fall of the most successful college football program of the past 25 years was one of the biggest stories in collegiate football. The season was the culmination of a gradual decline since the Hurricanes won their fifth national championship in 2001. In each year since, Miami seems to have regressed in terms of national stature, going from the undefeated national championship in 2001 to falling from the AP Top 25 in 2006 for the first time in 10 seasons. In this book, Barry Jackson chronicles the rise and fall of this great football program.
