Dugans, 38, has been at South Florida the past two seasons and also has coaching experience at Louisville and Georgia Southern. He played wide receiver himself at Florida State, is from Tallahassee and played three NFL seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Needless to say, it’s looking like Richt is trying to assemble a staff full of Miami guys and based on that, the ‘Canes could easily be back in action sooner rather than later after years of futility.
