Miami Hurricanes draw comparisons to Dallas Cowboys for all the wrong reasons

A viral X post tried to lump the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Hurricanes together as similarly "irrelevant." It's a bad comparison. The claim ignores that, in the decades since Dallas' last championship run, Miami has actually won a national title, played for another and registered multiple top-five finishes — benchmarks the Cowboys haven't approached in the NFL over the same span (with all due respect).

Let's start with Dallas. The Cowboys have not reached even an NFC championship game since winning the Super Bowl to cap the 1995 season, a three-decade conference-title drought. Their recent playoff exits include 2021 and 2022 losses to San Francisco and a 2023 wild-card loss to Green Bay — further evidence of a franchise that has struggled in January over an extended period of time.
