Ranking the college football coaching hires - Orlando Sentinel
As the coaching carousel goes into overdrive this week, a handful of school’s made news with coaching hires. We take a look at each hire and rank them from best to worst.
1. MARK RICHT, MIAMI
Pros: An offensive-minded coach who’s spent the past 15 seasons at Georgia, Richt brings a wealth of coaching knowledge and a big name to a program desperate to return to relevance on the national landscape. He knows the passion and tradition associated with Miami and should ease the minds of former ‘Canes players who grew weary of the struggles of the program under Al Golden.
Cons: One of the reason’s Richt isn’t still at Georgia is because of a fickle fan base that was unsatisfied the Bulldogs weren’t winning the big games. This year’s team was 0-2 versus teams ranked in the top 25 and 5-7 over the past three seasons.
The Buzz: Anytime you land someone who’s won close to 74 percent of their games including two conference championships and six division titles, that’s a pretty good hire. You somehow knew Richt wasn’t going to be out of work very long and he wasn’t. In the ACC, Richt will have plenty of opportunities to win the Coastal Division and compete for titles.
