I like Mark Richt a lot, I enjoyed the Miami area last year when VT played them, me and my wife stayed in Hollywood at the Diplomat Resort and Spa, and he is the kind of role model kids there need and he's even reached out to little kids in ghetto areas about having it together (grades, attitude/respect, and being able to play football) so they have a chance to play at Miami one day. I honestly cannot hate on a man who does things the right way even if it means kicking 3 of his best defensive players off the team and his top rated recruit from the recent class Sam Bruce. I dislike how Miami has beaten us but I can only compliment Mark, he gave some of his own money to help them get an indoor facility. The Miami fans hate on him enough after 1 or 2 losses and he is giving so much to that school, the football team, and the community. Like the saying goes though "You never know what you had until it's gone." They have to know after the golden era they struck true gold this time!

Mark Richt did embarrassingly little with one of the best funded football programs in the nation and hopes he can do better with one of the most overrated ones.

First name Mark - pretty normal
Last name Richt - maybe we could do a German thing but that would be political.
Demeanor - always seemed like a stand up guy.
Looks - not goofy.
Past - clean as a whistle.
Ahh.. Richt misses sleeping with the bulldog?

Mark Richt speed walks to beat you to the only open register at the grocery store with a full cart and doesn't let you go ahead even though you only have 1 item.

Mark Richt tried to explain to the media that his name is pronounced with a voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant affricate, like "twitched", but just got blank stares from the media, who have enough trouble with words like "Diablo".
In 1987 his friend Steve from CompuServe made a .jif to straighten things out, but he got it wrong.
He wonders why certain people in Blacksburg call him "Kevin".
He still feels bad about the Chic-fil-a Bowl. Such a nice guy.

Mark Richt doesn't believe the Miami fan base will turn on him as soon as they get the chance.
For real though, he's a standup guy. A good friend of mine is a middle school football coach and went to a coaching clinic where Richt was a speaker. There were four other P5 coaches there and my friend said Richt was the only one that engaged the audience and responded thoroughly to questions. He also stuck around and mingled with the attendees after.
Absolutely floors me that this guy went to Miami.

Mark Richt got tired of dealing with rude, obnoxious, entitled fans with unreasonable expectations, who always thought they were better than they really were...so he took the job at Miami.

On a side note, I really do respect Richt and how he runs his program. After reading about his values and practices last year before Miami picked him up, it really inspired me. I'm sure this dude has more positive effects on both players and fans than he will ever truly know. I hope he finds many years of success as the second place team in the Coastal and wins many bowls as a result.
