In what’s become a signature mantra for FIU football, the Panthers enter their second spring session in the Mike MacIntyre era looking to “Elevate” the program’s standard after 2022’s 4-8 season.
MacIntytre’s debut season as FIU head coach saw the Panthers end several dubious streaks including: days without a Conference USA victory (1,436) — days without a road win — (1,400), days without an FBS win (1,029).
With the departure of six programs from C-USA, which include the winners of the last six conference titles (UAB, Florida Atlantic and UTSA), the league is more wide open than ever before — providing hope for the Panthers as they look to make a leap in MacIntyre’s second season.
