The 2017 Miami Hurricanes football team (variously "Miami", "The U", "UM", "'Canes") represented the University of Miami during the 2017 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Hurricanes were led by second-year head coach Mark Richt and played their home games at Hard Rock Stadium. They competed as a member of the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). They finished the season 10-3, 7-1 in ACC play to win the Coastal Division for the first time and earn a trip to the 2017 ACC Championship Game, where they were defeated by Clemson. They were invited to the Orange Bowl where they lost to Wisconsin.

Turnover Chain
Before the season Diaz suggested rewarding defensive players who recover fumbles or interceptions. Jeweler AJ "King of Bling" Machado created the Turnover Chain--a 36-inch, 5-5 pound, 10-karat gold Cuban link necklace with a large "U" charm covered with orange and green sapphires--in August 2017. Its gaudiness amazed the team and coaching staff, with one saying that "it's supposed to be larger than life".
ESPN described the chain as "quintessential Miami: flashy, swaggy, in your face, loud and flamboyant". Malek Young became the first to wear the chain, after intercepting a Bethune-Cookman pass in the end zone. Counterfeit shirts depicting the chain became available for sale within a week. Richt said, "It's good, clean fun. If we were 4-5 and had six turnovers, I think people would probably make fun of it. But when you win, things become cool sometimes".
