Richt is one of only three ACC Coaches who was named to the watch list. Clemson’s Dabo Swinney and Virginia Tech’s Justin Fuente are the other two. Fuente is the only coach on the watch list that the Miami football team will play against this season.
The list is most of the coaches you would expect in College Football. They include Alabama’s Nick Saban and Ohio State’s Urban Meyer.
Richt led Miami to their best season in 14 years in 2017. The Hurricanes won their first ACC Coastal Division Championship and made their first appearance in the ACC title game that went with the division title.
