When their original dynasty fell apart after 2000, they spent 12 years languishing in purgatory before they made it back into the national conversation. In the next five seasons they won an Orange Bowl, won a BCS title game, lost a CFP Rose Bowl, lost a Peach bowl, and won another Orange Bowl. They followed this stunning return to form with a trip to Shreveport in 2017 and no bowl at all in 2018. I can't think of another program that has had such drastic highs and lows in such a short timeframe. If they don't get this hire right, they might be in the basement for the foreseeable future.
