Hey all, I am Canes fan living in Los Angeles. Back in September, I was hanging with this young lady that I was dating and we decided to walk around the corner from my home to grab some food from the food trucks that come to this park. Brad Kaaya's mother has a vegan food truck that was there that night. Me being a Canes fan and a vegan, I went to purchase food from her.
So I go to the window and as she is taking my order, I tell her I am a die-hard Miami Hurricanes fan and I enjoyed watching her son. So she responds by saying that is really cool and talks about Brad's accomplishments at QB(as any proud mama would). Then she asked me what were my thoughts on Mark Richt. I tell her I think he is a good coach and like what he is doing with the program, though I have problems with his play calling amongst other things. Then the conversation turns left.
She stated she does not think Mark Richt will last long at Miami and he is not the coach to leads us to a championship. She then complained about Jon Richt, saying that Brad told her that they would only run gasers and not do any serious QB drills. Basically she said Jon Richt does not do any real coaching. She mentioned that Jon Richt does not have any coaching experience and basically a nepotism hire that is doing serious damage. Mind you this back in September, then she was like how come they can't get N'Kosi ready to play this season; and basically N'Kosi will not properly develop under them. I was like well I do not think it is certain N'kosi will start next year, I told her I think another black qb (Jarren) will. We had to end our exchange because there were others in line and she had to prepare my food.
She was really nice and it was a pleasant exchange. However, at that time, I did not know how to take her comments. I thought may be she was upset about Brad's draft position and still feels some kind away with both Coach Mark and Jon Richt. I went to work and shared the interaction with my friend and co-worker who is a Miami alum and passionately follows the team, and he found it interesting as well. Yet, as the season has played out and we see the QB play, I keep thinking about my interaction with her; and I think maybe she was not in her feelings, but giving me the cold hard truth about our QB situation particularly the coaching and development from an inside perspective.
After these past several weeks, I felt like I need to share this interaction with the board. Her physical restaurant is by my home, so I may go there and chop it up with her some more.
