The 2003 FIU Golden Panthers football team represented Florida International University in the 2003 NCAA Division I-AA football season as an NCAA Division I-AA independent school. The Panthers were led by head coach Don Strock in his second season and finished with a record of zero wins and ten losses (0–10). In 2008, the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions found major violations within the football program and as such vacated the Panthers' two wins from the 2003 season.[1][2]
