I am happy with the Richt hire. We won 8 games with a shot of 9 with Golden/Scott. There is no question that Richt is a huge upgrade and that we should win 9 per year in BAD years. This is a nice moment to break up the abject misery of the past 12 years.
But the aspect of this hire that should make you most excited is that the school was willing to spend 4 million on a coach. Golden was highest paid coach in school history, and that was good for the 42nd HIGHEST paid coach in the country this year. Paying Richt 4 million per year puts us in the TOP 16 HIGHEST PAID jobs in the country.
I hope Richt is here for many years, and that his success results in more national championships for Miami. But even if he falters, the fact that we were willing to pay COMPETITIVELY ushers in a first for the University Of Miami: the ability to pay for elite coaches.
Needless to say, paying competitively does not in itself ensure a qualitative hire, but it definitely increases the likelihood of landing a great coach. When it comes to the ability to hire quality coaches, we are now part of the upper echelon of jobs FINANCIALLY.
This is truly a new era.
