The Miami Hurricanes won the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Coastal Division, but had only one player — kicker Michael Badgley — named to the All-ACC first team that was announced Monday.
The Hurricanes made up for that at least a bit Tuesday when football coach Mark Richt was named ACC Coach of the Year.
The panel of voters included 45 media members and the 14 coaches, with Richt getting 41 of those 59 votes.
Richt, 57, is the first Hurricanes coach to receive such an honor in the same season that he has led Miami (10-1, 7-1 ACC) to its first ACC Championship Game on Saturday against No.
