It’s safe to say Miami coach Mark Richt lost himself for a moment during the Orange Bowl, and he’s now looking back with some regret.

Richt completely lost his cool during Miami’s Orange Bowl loss, yelling at and grabbing a referee in a rage over what he believed to be several questionable calls or non-calls. While not extremely repentant after the game, Richt was a bit more apologetic after seeing the footage of his outburst.

After seeing TV copy of our game I want to apologize for my language and the putting of my hands on the official and my staff. I did not show the proper respect to the authorities of our game.

— Mark Richt (@MarkRicht) January 1, 2018

Richt made the right move apologizing. Being fired up about some of the officiating is understandable, but his reaction crossed a line.
