1926 Miami Hurricanes football

Conference	Independent
1926 record	8–0
Head coach	Cub Buck (1st year)

The 1926 Miami Hurricanes football team represented the University of Miami during the 1926 college football season. The team was only a freshman team, but was the first to play football for the university.^[1] Before competition took place, plans for a 50,000 seat stadium were proposed by university president Dr. Bowman Ashe. Work began on a temporary, 8,000-seat structure when on September 17, 1926 a hurricane destroyed much of South Florida, killing more than 130 people, and removing any plans of a football stadium.^[2] This postponed the season, and gave the team its nickname of "Hurricanes."^[3]
