We've got 5 days to have a little fun with our friends from Little Havana.
Your football team almost dropped a level over the fallout from throwing a Jewish man into a lake. Then you "fixed" things by hiring Schnelleberger and Jimmie Johnson?
Despite Miami's improvement in 1978, Saban departed the school amid controversy. That April, three freshman Miami players attacked a 22-year-old Jewish man wearing ayarmulke who was walking to religious services on campus.[SUP][84][/SUP] They threw the man, who worked at a campus gathering place for UM's Jewish community, into Lake Osceola at the center of campus.[SUP][84][/SUP] When Saban returned to campus a few days later, he was unaware the man was Jewish and reportedly said "Getting thrown in the lake? Sounds like fun to me."[SUP][84][/SUP] Miami's Jewish community complained, and despite numerous apologies, Saban offered to resign mid-season. Saban was convinced to remain through the end of the season, however, before leaving to coach at Army.[SUP][85]
The roster if anyone is interested:
