Some Georgia fans loved Mark Richt because he held some things up as "bigger than football" - family, community values, keeping a clean program.
Other Georgia fans hated Mark Richt because they said he had other priorities ahead of football. They said he didn't have the fire, the drive, the savagery to win when it really counted.
I think we'll see Miami fans divided on the same lines, especially if they lose the FSU game. Would be just another example of Richt losing a big game because he had something else he valued more than winning. Some people will love him for it, others will resent him.
