Miami Hurricanes receivers coach Ron Dugans to stay at UM | Miami Herald

Mark Richt has kept his coaching staff together yet again — this time against all odds.

University of Miami wide receivers coach Ron Dugans, who helped recruit three elite receivers that signed UM letters of intent Dec. 20, has turned down a widely reported offer to return to his hometown Tallahassee and his alma mater Florida State as the receivers coach there, UM athletic director Blake James told the Miami Herald on Monday night.

“He is staying,’’ James said in a text message.

The FSU overtures were from new FSU coach Willie Taggart, the former Oregon coach who was hired by the Seminoles last month to replace Jimbo Fisher.
