CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami fired four assistant coaches Monday, three days after the Hurricanes' season ended with a humbling 40-3 loss to LSU in the Peach Bowl -- the biggest bowl defeat in the program's history.

Offensive line coach Art Kehoe, who coached on all five of the school's national championship teams, was fired, along with offensive coordinator Dan Werner, linebackers coach Vernon Hargreaves and running backs coach Don Soldinger.

"The decision was mine. Mine alone," said coach Larry Coker, who added the Peach Bowl results wasn't the only reason for the dismissals.

"For me, it's definitely personally a very tough decision," Coker said. "But it's a decision I think had to be made. ... We have high standards here, high standards are set and I think we have to work hard to live up to those standards."

Miami was 9-3 this season and is 53-9 over Coker's first five seasons as the Hurricanes' head coach.

Kehoe was also the team's assistant head coach.

"I got fired. I wish I didn't, but I did," Kehoe, who also coached the offensive line, told the Miami Herald. "I have to move on with my life and take care of my family now.

"I am eternally grateful to the University of Miami for giving me one of the greatest lives you could ever have in college football. We won more games, more national titles, more bowl games, more big games. When you think about it, I owe everything to this school," he said.

Soldinger, who also served as Miami's special teams coordinator, said he was told of his dismissal Monday morning by Coker, who said he wouldn't specify why the firings were taking place.

"If he can find somebody better, more power to him," said Soldinger, 61, who was at Miami from 1984-88 and again from 1995 through Monday. "Maybe he'll find younger. He won't find anybody better."

I guess you could honestly say that the Miami Situation has reached MELTDOWN STATUS...Hilarious! :~ohyah!: :giggle: :wiggle:

[SoCalBronco]

Kehoe should never have been fired. Neither should Soldinger.

[SoCalBronco]

I still cant believe Art Kehoe got fired, he IS the program. Coker should be ****ing shot.

What a great meltdown!! I love it. Thug haven is falling apart....:-)

[Florida_Bronco]

I have trouble laughing at them because I know how frustrating it is to watch the same thing happen to NU, the road to rebuilding is usually a long one.

I don't. I've hated that program for over 20 years. When you're a die-hard ND fan, it's easy to hate Miami.

Ahh, talk about thugs, replay the game the last time Miami went to South Bend. I have never seen such a dirty game, by ND, in 40+ years of watching college ball.

Yeah, well I''m sure you know Miami's history as well.

Like I said, I have been watching both teams over 40 years . Miami was a thug team under Erikson, but have cleaned tehmselves up for the most part since. ND has always been a thug team going back to the 60's.
