Last season was only Miami's third losing record since 1980.
That's unbelievable. Three takeaways:
1. We've been solid for a long time.
2. Despite having great NFL talent, Al Golden immortalized himself with one of the worst seasons for Hurricanes football in modern history.
3. The absolute most startling stat that I discovered after this -- Miami had 5 draft picks selected in the first 3 rounds of this year's NFL draft. Here are the other times that happened, along with the Canes record for that season:
1986: 11-1
1987: 12-0
1989: 11-1
1992: 11-1
2000: 11-1
2001: 12-0
2002: 12-1
2003: 11-2
2005: 9-3
2010: 6-6 (Shannon)
2014: 6-7 (Golden)
