SKULL SESSION: JALIN MARSHALL RECALLS HIS ROUGH WELCOME TO THE TEAM, OHIO STATE BROKE MIAMI, AND KEVIN WARREN'S HAD A WILD FIRST FEW MONTHS
RIP IN PEACE, MIAMI. Watching ESPN's replay of the 2003 Fiesta Bowl, I had one prominent takeaway: Ohio State broke Miami forever. The Hurricanes have never recovered, and the future ain't looking too bright, either.
'The U' hasn't been the same
The Hurricanes are 96-70 overall and 57-47 in ACC play the past 13 seasons. Every attempt to restore the aura of “The U” has been side-tracked by coaching changes. Shannon, Al Golden, Mark Richt and now Manny Diaz have taken turns at the helm. A scandal involving former booster Nevin Shapiro in 2011 also tugged at the program, resulting in NCAA probation and a two-year self-imposed bowl ban in 2011-12.
Richt did lead Miami to the ACC championship game in 2017, but the Hurricanes lost 38-3 to Clemson and the coach retired after the following season.
Diaz's first year ended in a 6-7 record and a 14-0 loss to Louisiana Tech in the Independence Bowl. Miami is banking on new offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee and transfer quarterback D'Eriq King to reverse the fortunes of a program that is still searching for its first ACC title heading into the 2020 season.
It's been a different story at Ohio State.
It's hilarious that both teams faced extremely similar disciplinary actions in the 2011 season and Ohio State went ahead and won a national title three years later while Miami went 6-7 culminating in a riveting loss in the Independence Bowl.
I've never seen a program fall harder or faster than The U, but it's important to remember they didn't just fall – they were pushed.

. That program has never been the same. They went to what Bama is now(and possibly at times seemed superior talent wise) to a program that has trouble beating the likes of UVA, BC and Duke yearly.
