FIU Golden Panthers

Preview 2007

By Pete FIUtak

There are bad seasons, there are bizarre seasons, and then there are bizarre, bad seasons that couldn’t possibly be scripted in any coach’s worst nightmare.

How strange was 2006 for FIU? The defense wasn’t statistically the best in the Sun Belt, but it was fourth in the nation against the pass and 28th overall and first in the league in tackles for loss. That alone should’ve made the Golden Panthers contenders for the Sun Belt championship. Throw veteran quarterback Josh Padrick into the mix, and you have a trip to the New Orleans Bowl planned.

0-12

FIU lost its first four games by a combined 11 points, lost in seven overtimes to North Texas, got into a fight with Miami, lost half its team, canned head coach Don Strock, and now is starting from scratch under Mario Cristobal.
