Mark Richt came from the University of Miami and quarterbacked the team.Before coming back, though, he spent 14 years Florida State University as an offensive coordinator, while coaching quarterbacks under the leadership of Bobby Bowden. He then went to East Carolina U for a year, before his 15 years as head coach for the University of Georgia. But now, he’s back where he started, as the head coach of the University of Miami Hurricanes.?

As much as Richt loved returning home to his alma mater, fans of the Canes seemed to love it even more. Fans set the record of 40,000 season tickets sold, even before the first season of Richt.The strong numbers only showed how welcome Richt was to the Hurricane community.The Hurricane Club, which was the UM Athletic’s booster club took in record numbers in members and donations.

It seemed only fitting that Richt would come back to Miami. Not only did he contribute to the University of Miami’s success when he was a student, he also came from Palm Beach County, where he finished high school. It was the ideal signing and ideal scenario for one of the U’s favorite sons, who people looked up to as a player and as a coach.
