CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Mark Richt has called a play or two in his day. But the night before Miami held its first scrimmage of the spring, Richt started to feel a little uneasy.
The next morning, he felt the same way.
Even $4 million coaches with 145 wins get nervous.
Despite his long history running offenses, Richt would be calling plays for the first time in nearly 10 years. Just a little piece of him wondered whether he would get it right. But this is exactly what he wanted. In fact, it was a make-or-break proposition when he agreed to coach at Miami after 15 years at Georgia.
