Mark Richt Retires at Miami (FL)

Earlier today head football coach Mark Richt announced his retirement.  Since the 2008 season, Miami (FL) has had three head coaches - Randy Shannon, who was fired in 2010 - and in my opinion was a colossal mistake, Al Golden who was fired during the 2015 season and Mark Richt, who was head coach from 2016 until the end of this season.  Below is the Miami (FL) Hurricanes production rank (total, offense, defense, and the average and worst) since 2008 using the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model from the data provided from www.cfbstats.com, as well as lines for head coaching firing/retiring.  More details about the program under Richt are below.
