The Miami Inferno are one of the East Division’s most decorated franchises, boasting three Lakefront Bowls and a legacy of offensive firepower during their peak years. The team debuted in 2012 under GM Jason Richmond, finishing 7–7 before falling to Brooklyn in the first round. A new era began in 2013 when Cody Coppersmith took the reins, steering Miami to back-to-back postseason runs, including a Division Championship in 2014.
The franchise’s golden age arrived from 2016–2017, with Miami claiming consecutive championships. In 2016, the Inferno went 9–4, captured the East, and powered through the playoffs—culminating in a 155–110 title win over Cleveland. GM Coppersmith earned GM of the Year, and David Johnson was named MVP. The following year, Miami dominated at 10–3, crushing opponents en route to a 149–95 championship triumph over Philadelphia, fueled by MVP Todd Gurley.
After a down year in 2018, the Inferno surged back in 2019 under Richard Head, posting a 10–3 record, edging LA in the semifinals 116–115, and defeating Brooklyn 129–112 for their third Lakefront Bowl. Head captured GM of the Year, cementing his brief but historic run.
Post-2020 hiatus, Miami cycled through leadership changes, including Coppersmith’s return in 2021 and Adam Levetzow’s East crown in 2022, but the team failed to reclaim past glory. By 2024, GM Richard Head was back at the helm, though the Inferno finished 5–9.
Overall, Miami stands as one of the league’s most successful franchises, with five division titles (2014, 2016, 2019, 2022), three Lakefront Bowls (2016, 2017, 2019), and two MVP winners during a dominant mid-2010s dynasty.
