CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) Mark Richt is being rewarded for getting Miami football back on track.

The Hurricanes extended Richt's deal through 2023, putting him under contract for six years again. He originally signed a six-year agreement in December 2015.

"Mark has done a phenomenal job of building this program - and generating enthusiasm for this program - since the day he arrived back on campus," Miami athletic director Blake James said Thursday. "We look forward to continued success under his watch, both on and off the field, for many years to come."
