As many in the FSU football world were enjoying Sunday brunch, it was news that came out of a hated rival to the south that stole the day – Mark Richt, who had spent the last three seasons as the leader of his alma mater Miami, was retiring in a shocking announcement that came following the team’s blowout bowl loss last week.
Now, there may have not be as much animosity toward Richt as other rival coaches based on the 15 seasons he coached the Seminoles that included two national titles – but once he took over the orange and green (and beat the Noles twice), it would become easy to dislike him and be happy that the ‘Canes were scrambling to find their new leader.
