I think Rick was the right hire at the right time in the school’s history. We were at pretty much rock bottom and we needed a name like Rick to reestablish the brand being former alum.
That being said there are some warning signs that concern me. However nothing is going to change this year and maybe even next. I wish we had an AD that could help advise Rick however I think we all know Maine is definitely not the guy to do it. Sam would have been the perfect kind of AD if he was the man today.
From what I have heard at Georgia Rick was coarsed into firing Willie Martinez who was a complete and utter disaster as a DC. Also the Dawg AD coarsed Rick into hiring Mike Bobo and give up some control of The O.
We don’t have that dynamic in place and this is what really concerns me honestly. Again I’m glad Rick is here but really worried about his stubbornness and his persistence of complete control of all areas.
