The Final question Richt received was about the emotion of returning to Miami and what it is like coaching at his Alma Mater. He responded:

"“I didn’t take the Miami job because it was my alma mater. I took it because I knew we could win at Miami. That’s why I took the job…It happens to be my alma mater, and the fact that it is my school has grown exponentially as I’ve been going through the process of being the head coach here at Miami. I truly love the place, and I love it probably a little bit more because it is my school, and I’m taking pride in that, and I’m taking pride in my fellow football alumni to help them see this program become what they want it to be and to help our fan base help this place become what they want it to be, and the administration and the players and coaches themselves. It’s been a wonderful experience.”"

A lot is expected from the Hurricanes this season with who is coming back on the defensive side of the ball. Despite being ranked 11th in the country by the Sporting News, some Hurricanes fans were upset that the iconic sports media outlet predicts UM to play in the Sun Bowl.
