Almost sure Jimmy went 6-6 his first year and the rest is history.

We’re not going 6-6.

Crazy how so many of you are overreacting though.

You really thought we were going 10-2 or 11-1 the first year of a complete overhaul of our program? Lol

That 9-3 Dennis Erickson team would destroy this current Hurricanes team by halftime

Lou Saban finished his coaching stint at Miami beating Auburn on the road, than beat Florida on the road.
How Sweet it was..

I believe Jimmy went 8-5 his first year in '84. LOL, this man lost 9 games his entire time here and 5 of those were that season. Two of those were title games, one loss to Florida, and the last one ND. I've said before, this was Saban before Saban minus the cheating.

I’m content to get to the ACC championship game and win the Natty the following year. We must keep this Top 10 class intact and follow up with one more. That’s how JJ did it.👍🙌❤️

Once again, you prove your ignorance.

Jimmy opened the year 8-2 before the second half collapse to Maryland/Frank Reich, the Hail Flutie game, and the UCLA bowl loss.

So, yeah, 8-5 isn't 6-6. JJ went 8-4, 10-1, and 11-0 in the regular season his first three years, while losing all 3 bowl games. He finally had his breakthrough in Year 4.

You are completely clueless about "how JJ did it". He inherited a ton of talent from Howard and added to it. The most important thing that JJ did on his own at Miami was to build a great coaching staff separate from what Schenllenberger left behind.

Your posts are terrible. Post less.

Dennis won a national championship in his first year at Miami.

You're not a smart man, Forrest.

Doesn't matter... when coaches don't see eye to eye, performance suffers. You can't have JJ's guys vs Schnelly's holdovers and expect to do well.

Heck, Tom was on his way down from the booth when the Maryland QB threw that hail mary to beat us... Jimmy wasn't thrilled, to say the least. He cleaned house.

This would be an interesting factoid, if true.

Unfortunately, Tom Olivadotti resigned from the University of Miami when JJ got the job. In fact, ol' Tom was the one who kept picking up his keys and dropping them loudly during JJ's initial address to the Schnellenberger holdover coaches.

It's also possible that you have conflated "the Maryland QB [who] threw that Hail Mary to beat us" with BC QB Doug Flutie. In the Maryland game, the Terps scored on a running play to take a 42-40 lead, and even worse, they got the ball back and were inside of our 5 yard line about to make it 49-40 when Reich took a knee to end the game.

Bill Trout was the DC in 1984. Maybe he's the one who was walking down from the booth during Hail Flutie, but it sure as **** wasn't Tom Olivadotti.
