They also thought the same thing about Al Golden and Randy Shannon. I saw a Miami fan going back and forth on Twitter vehemently with a FSU fan (go figure) about how Mark Richt was going to “bring the U back”.
Mark Richt was about as good a hire as they could have made considering what Miami is nowadays(we’ll get into that in a few). However, thinking hiring Richt is all they need to “bring the U back” is shortsighted.
As bad as the “lost decade” was for FSU football, it still never got as bad as what Miami football is dealing with on and off the field.
