I started this daily update post yesterday, and that seemed to be a hit with Canes fans all over the internet. So, we're gonna keep this going every day until we have a new coach named.
5:00PM
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald is back with another report. And, depending on which coach you support, this could be positive.
UM very hopeful of landing Mark Richt. Nothing definite, but hearing optimism this afternoon. We'll see if UM closes the deal.

Posted this article in yesterday's updates, but the last detail is different, so it bears reposting. FOX Sports' Bruce Feldman says 1. Miami has nearly $4M to spend on a coach, and 2. The goal is to HAVE A COACH BY SUNDAY.
That last part? That's the new part that matters. Read it for yourself below.
AM RT #Miami can pay much more than many expect--about $4 MIL per YR, per sources & wants to have new coach by SUN: https://t.co/VWLcWGcDqc

For what it's worth....
FWIW: @Canesport reporting on its message board that Richt "told Maryland and Virginia no" & his wife "signed off on the move." FWIW.
