The May 26th ChamberSOUTH\u2019s General Membership Breakfast was a flurry of activity with Sebastian moving around with the paparazzi and guests getting some face time with the coach before
\nthe start of the program.<\/p>\n

UM\u2019s new Head Football Coach Mark Richt scored big points by delivering a winning combination
\nof wit, wisdom, and good news at the breakfast.<\/p>\n

Richt, a UM alumni and former Head Coach of Georgia, opened by stating, \u201cEverybody is happy today because we\u2019re undefeated.\u201d A witty remark indeed, considering he was only just named to this
\nnew post in December \u2013 and the 2016 season hasn\u2019t even yet begun!<\/p>\n

In addressing his philosophy, Richt stated: \u201cBeyond all the wins, rings, and championships, my job is also about helping young people build character. Teaching them how to \u2018give\u2019 rather than \u2018take\u2019 is important to the team dynamic, but it also helps make them become better fathers, husbands,
\nand leaders in their community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richt spoke to the need for an indoor practice facility.
\n\u201cIt is needed for so many reasons, not the least of which is protection for our players from lightning strikes and the ability to better recruit talent by showing prospects and players we\u2019re truly committed to our program. I love my University and I know it\u2019s needed \u2013 this new facility will make us proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richt closed by saying he won\u2019t predict all the wins he and his team will have, \u201cbut I will promise
\nwe are going to work hard and we\u2019 are going to make everyone proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
