It’s sad that this fairytale won’t have a happy ending. When Mark Richt left Georgia in 2015 and landed at his alma mater in Miami, I, like many Dawg fans was ecstatic for him. Richt’s time at Georgia had gotten stale and his time had come, but I still saw him as a good coach and a great molder of young men. With a Miami program that was down in the dumps much like Georgia was in 2000, it seemed like the perfect hire.
Three years later, Richt will leave Miami as just another coach who couldn’t help the Hurricanes turn it around.
