Richt wasn't forced out. He was being forced to make changes he didn't want to make. Had Richt stayed, we'd have a new O in place. Now we don't know if it would be better or worse than last year, or this year, but we do know Manny Diaz wouldn't be the head coach this year. Problem is, IF the O didn't produce, Richt steps down, or makes UM fire him. Guess who UM goes out and hires at the end of this season.... You guessed it. Charmin "Dance Party" Diaz.
Bottom line, Blake James wanted Diaz, and it was just a matter of time. Now what's he going to do with this turdburger?
