Someone mentioned Richt in another thread on the site. I like Richt to a certain extent, but would he be able to take Miami all the way??
I like Richt because he has the dignity to not let friendships get in the way of staff adjustments. He has Pruitt, a well regarded young defensive mind, and Schottenheimer from the NFL. He's going to hire the right guys, and he's got a good enough pedigree to compete for recruits down here, as well as being a decent Sfla recruiter to start with. McElwain sold recruits on Eddy Lacy, Trent Richardson, and Mark Ingram, well Richt could do the same with Gurley, Chubb, and now Sony.
We would be a 10 win team every year, but the fans would be ****ed when we lose to NC or VT or whatever. I think we would definitely make a playoff appearance and maybe even get to a NCG under Richt, possible we could win one. A lot better than some of the names being thrown around. If he's interested it would be stupid to rule him out. Easily a top 3 candidate if he is interested. Maybe a change of scenery would do him some good, light a new fire.
