Like FanSided’s Dawn of the Dawg Georgia expert Alistair Penny, Michaels could not praise Richt enough as a person. He also echoed Penny’s thoughts (pun not initially intended) that doubted if Richt was the right coach to lead the Miami Hurricanes to a National Championship.
Michaels has also been the Atlanta Falcons sideline reporter for nine years. He felt that Richt is a tremendous program builder. That he has done a great job digging the Miami Hurricanes out from under the mess that was the not so Al Golden era in the previous five seasons of Miami Hurricanes football.
