The 2007 FIU Golden Panthers football team represented Florida International University (FIU) as a member of the Sun Belt Conference during the 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by first-year head coach Mario Cristobal, the Panthers compiled an overall record of 1âÂÂ11 with a mark of 1âÂÂ6 in conference play, tying for seventh place at the bottom of the Sun Belt standings. The team played home games at the Miami Orange Bowl while FIU Stadium, the Golden Panthers' normal home field, underwent expansion. Cristobal replaced FIU's first head coach, Don Strock, who resigned after an 0âÂÂ12 season marred by the FIUâÂÂMiami football brawl.
