the U...CORAL GABLES Florida....GREAT SAFETIES and CORNERS...and ED REED and the late Sean TAYLOR are the BEST

With all their recent problems from a FOOTBALL PROGRAM Standpoint...the University of MIAMI FLORIDA at Coral Gables is a MOUNTAIN TOP of TALENT when it comes their FOOTBALL PROGRAM.

Numerous Players have come out of the "U" like Warren SAPP, Micheal IRVIN, Ray LEWIS, Edgerrin JAMES, the LATE Sean TAYLOR, and Ed REED to name a few. But their STRONG SUIT might be their CORNERS and SAFETIES as they have just cranked them out YEAR after YEAR.

Head Coaches that have called Coral Gables Home have a lot to do with getting the TALENT down their as well. Like Howard SCHNELLENBERGER who started the HURRICANES off to their DOMINANCE in the EARLY 1980's. Jimmy JOHNSON who had the likes of the BLADES Brothers...BENNIE and BRIAN as well as Michael IRVIN and Cortez KENNEDY. Then it was Dennis ERICKSON with Willis McGAHEE and Sean TAYLOR and Butch DAVIS who just tore up the UNC CHapel HILL Football Program recnetly with SANCTION after SANCTION had major talent as well.

But still if you put the TALENT in CORAL GABLES Position by Position.....the SECONDARY PEOPLE are far and away the best at the "U". Let's check out the BEST of the BEST in secondary at the "U":
