Richt announced Thomas Brown, Craig Kuligowski, Todd Hartley and his son, Jon Richt, will be his assistant coaches.

"I could not be happier to add each of these individuals to our coaching staff," Richt said. 

Richt's son will be an offensive assistant. 

Brown, who worked for Richt as the running backs coach at Georgia, will be the co-offensive coordinator and the running backs coach at Miami.

Kuligowski, known as "Coach Kool," will be the defensive line coach, the same job he had with Missouri for 15 years.

Hartley, who was the director of player personnel at Georgia, will be in charge of special teams.

Wednesday's announcement did not address the defensive coordinator job, nor did it address the reports that Larry Scott, who served as the interim head coach after Al Golden was fired, would be retained as a member of Richt's staff.
