WATCH: Mark Richt loses his cool during Orange Bowl, grabs referee and pushes Miami assistant
Published:
The Orange Bowl started out great for Miami and coach Mark Richt as the Hurricanes jumped out to an early 14-3 lead on Wisconsin. Though, the early momentum didn’t last long as the Badgers went into halftime with a 24-14 lead.
After a few frustrating series on both sides of the ball, Richt lost his cool in a really uncharacteristic moment. The typically reserved coach went so far as to grab at a ref and push one of his assistant coaches.
As he was walking off the field and into the locker room for halftime, an ESPN sideline reporter asked Richt why he was so upset.
“If you watch the tape, you’ll see,” was Richt’s only response before storming off the field.
