Jimmy Johnson was 52-9 in five seasons with the Miami football program. In his final four years with the Hurricanes they were 44-4 with one National Title and one game away from winning three others. Johnson’s former players and staff members congratulated the architect of two dynasties on social media.
Johnson was just 29-25-3 in five seasons at Oklahoma State before being hired to become the head coach of the Miami Football program to succeed Howard Schnellenberger. The Hurricanes were coming off their first national championship when they hired a coach most people in South Florida had not heard of.
