Mark Richt's arrival comes without fanfare. Around 100 kids are scattered across the football fields at Mills Pond Park, black mesh jerseys and white helmets with a familiar "U" logo (adjusted slightly from the bottom to form an "H") labeling them as Hurricanes, but the appearance of the real Canes' head coach hardly creates a stir. Parents continue chatting along the sidelines and in the parking lot, some underneath tents to shield from raindrops. Only a few of the coaches take notice, former Miami players who knew Richt would be visiting.

This is a big change from Richt's old surroundings back in Athens, Georgia. There, he knew everyone. For 15 years, he was the most famous man in a small town where Bulldogs' football was the center of the universe. Now, he and his wife, Katharyn, can walk from their home in Coconut Grove, down palm-tree lined streets to eat dinner at a busy restaurant without ever being recognized. It's nice to finally be anonymous from time to time, but Richt's visit to this park is about making introductions, about being noticed.

Seems like a pretty good strategy to me. CPJ could learn from this.

I think it is dangerous. His connection to former players that are there raising their kids in South Florida and around the country along with his squeaky clean image could be a literal perfect storm. The third coming of the U dynasty.

Oh I agree! But it'll be hilarious as Georgia fans watch it happen. And it's good for the ACC, right

the irony of it is really amusing. Unless, of course, you happen to be a fan of a team that Richt and/or Miami has owned over the years and/or a fan of a team in the coastal division of the ACC. Otherwise, yeah...I agree it's hilarious.
