Interviews-wqam

Miami Hurricanes head football coach, Mark Richt joined the Joe Rose Show on 560 WQAM to discuss the team's big win over NC State, the development of several freshman on the team and the future for some of Miami's seniors who have NFL hopes.

On freshman Ahmmon Richards- "He's a guy that isn't just happy to catch the ball he wants to get the yards after the catch and it's been big for us."

On players heading to the NFL- "We will talk during the time between the end of the season and the bowl game.  I know enough people in the league and they will tell me what they see in these guys, our goal is to educate the guys with the best NFL information we can, that's the kind of thing we will be having here in the next few weeks."

On the Miami seniors' final home game- "I know the fans are going to honor our players, it's bigger than you think, when they play in that stadium for the last time in their career it's going to mean a lot to them."

On the state of the team- "From January to the season you have the chance to build a team, I think our players and coaches have been buying in.  These guys are young at 18-22 and you don't know how guys are going to react but when you treat them with love it reciprocates when times get tough."
