The 2019 Miami Hurricanes football team (variously "Miami", "The U", "UM", "'Canes") represented the University of Miami during the 2019 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Hurricanes were led by first-year head coach Manny Diaz and played their home games at Hard Rock Stadium, competing as a member of the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
For the first time since the 2007 season, the Hurricanes were not ranked in the AP Top 25 in any week of the season, and ended up finishing with their first losing season since 2007.
Preseason
In the preseason ACC media poll, Miami was predicted to finish in second in the Coastal Division.[1]
