    Craig Erickson: Practice at Miami Was Harder Than the Games

    Former Miami Hurricanes quarterback Craig Erickson joins The Fish Tank for his first-ever podcast interview to relive a remarkable football journey rooted in South Florida. Craig reflects on leading the University of Miami to the 1989 National Championship, walking into one of the most stacked locker rooms in college football history, and what it was like competing and learning among Hurricanes legends during the program’s golden era. He also shares stories about legendary coaches like Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson, unforgettable practices that were tougher than the games, and the personalities that defined those Miami teams. The conversation turns to Craig’s NFL path—from Tampa Bay and Indianapolis to returning home in 1996 as a Miami Dolphin—where he found himself backing up Dan Marino and witnessing greatness firsthand in practice. From Marino’s legendary preparation to wild quarterback-room moments and classic Gary Stevens stories, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and nostalgia from one of football’s most unique eras.
