A decade ago, the Miami Hurricanes football program was one that fell into shambles. Off-the-field issues, poor recruiting, and a lack of winning forced Larry Coker out of Coral Gables, and in 2007 Randy Shannon was tasked with leading the clean-up of the floundering Miami program. Unfortunately, the quality of performance on gameday only worsened in 2007. The Hurricanes finished 6-6 without a post season bowl trip, quarterback and skill position play continued to deteriorate, and the Canes slipped further into irrelevance. While 2007 was largely forgettable, it was the year that the Hurricanes family said goodbye to an icon than can never be forgotten, the Miami Orange Bowl.
