Is anyone other than me enjoying all the new hiring going on? There are so many new openings in college football and a scramble to hurry up and hire someone before somebody else gets him. I can't see why a college would seek to hire a coach that has a losing record and has been just fired for under preforming.
The latest I heard was that Miami Hurricanes would probably sign Mark Richt from UGA this week who always has a winning record. He quarterbacked the Canes while in college. UGA has hired coordinator from Alabama. Seems like Bama may loose another coach to new openings.
Central Fla. has hired Offensive Coordinator from Oregon which sounds like a good move for them. Everyone is in a rush to get a coach before recruits start making a decision.

UPDATE.....Mark Richt is the Miami new coach. He was the backup quarterback under Jim Kelly at the"U".

What got him noticed by Georgia in 2001 was the previous 14 years he was the quarterback coach and offensive coordinator at Florida State. He coached two Heisman winners, Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke. Also, his last year 2000, FSU was National Champions.
