Richt arrived at his alma mater in December 2015 in need of his own resurrection after getting fired following 15 seasons as the Head Coach at Georgia and with the task of reviving the Miami football program.
In three years overseeing the Miami football program, Richt accomplished a lot on and off the field. The Hurricanes were coming off of a 7-6 season but had fired Al Golden in the middle of the season following a 58-0 loss to Clemson. The Miami football team was at it’s lowest point in nearly 40 years.
Richt brought pride back to Miami.
