Miami Hurricanes football.

The Miami Hurricanes football program competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference of the NCAA's Division I Football Bowl Subdivision for the University of Miami. The program began in 1926 and has won 5 AP national championships (1983, 1987, 1989, 1991, 2001). Miami is ranked fourth on the list of All-time Associated Press National Poll Championships, behind Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Alabama. Two Hurricanes have won the Heisman Trophy and six have been inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame. Miami also holds a number of NFL Draft records, including most first round selections in a single draft and most consecutive drafts with at least one first round selection. The Hurricanes finished the 2010 regular season with a 7-5 record which included losses to rivals Florida State and Virginia Tech as well as the first ever loss to in-state opponent USF in the last game of the season. Shannon was fired by Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt within hours of the loss to USF.[citation needed] Interim head coach Jeff Stoutland, who was offensive line coach under Shannon, led the team into its Sun Bowl matchup versus Notre Dame; the Hurricanes lost the New Year's Eve game 33-17.
