He then served as an offensive assistant with the Buffalo Bills in 2015 and as the quarterbacks coach at the University of Miami from 2016 to 2018. In 2021, Richt returned to Prince Avenue Christian as the offensive coordinator, a role in which he contributed to the team’s success, including two state championships.
