New Miami coach Mark Richt brought some of his staff with him from the Georgia and is also transferring some of his favorite traditions as well.

Every year ,Richt took the Bulldogs to the swimming and diving complex for a team-building exercise at the high-dive, and he's continuing that tradition with the Hurricanes. On Friday, the Richt took the Canes to the pool complex and showed his players how its done with a textbook backflip off of the high-dive.

Richt also got members of the Hurricanes' staff -- including athletic director Blake James -- to make the plunge. The best of those leaps came courtesy of strength coach Gus Felder, who is not a small man.
