Alabama Crimson Tide opens the 2021 season against one of the storied programs in college football history. The Miami Hurricanes can legitimately claim five National Championships. The first came in 1983 under former Alabama Crimson Tide assistant, Howard Schnellenberger, followed by another in 1987 under Jimmy Johnson. Dennis Erickson won two; in 1989 and 1991. The most recent Canes National Championship was under Larry Coker in 2001.
Miami joined the ACC in 2004 and had back-to-back 9-3 seasons in 2004 and 2005. In Coker’s last season; 2006, the Canes slumped to 7-6.
