Lou Anarumo (pronounced ann-UH-room-OH) comes to Miami after eight seasons as the defensive backs coach at Purdue University. In 2011, cornerback Ricardo Allen was named a second team all-conference selection for the second consecutive year. Starting from scratch with four new starters in 2010, the Boilermaker secondary featured true freshman Allen, who returned two interceptions for touchdowns, finished with three interceptions and led the Big Ten in interception return yardage en route to earning freshman All-America honors and second team all-conference recognition. Cornerbacks Brandon King and David Pender were named second team All-Big Ten in 2009, while safety Torri Williams was an honorable mention selection. In 2008, Purdue’s pass defense ranked third overall in the Big Ten, surrendering just 183.2 yards per game. That figure dropped to 152.5 yards in conference games and was tops in the Big Ten. Anarumo was named one of the nation's top secondary coaches by Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com in June of 2008. From 2005 to 2006, the Boilermakers rebuilt their secondary and improved from 287.3 passing yards allowed per game to 241.2 yards.

While in charge of the secondary at Marshall, the Thundering Herd ranked in the top 10 nationally twice in passing defense, 10th in 2003 and sixth in 2002. Marshall compiled a 30-8 record over the three seasons and won the GMAC Bowl in 2001 and 2002. Prior to his stint at Marshall, Anarumo was assistant head coach at Harvard from 1995 to 2000, working with the defensive backs and coordinating the special teams. During his tenure, he helped build a pass defense regarded among the finest in the Ivy League. The Crimson led the league in pass efficiency defense in 1999 and ranked second in interceptions in 2000.
