QB development program is in shambles. Leadership decisions re: QB are boderline teenager-ish.
Failure w/ Malik either: 1) didnt develop him in a manner he could respond to; 2) thought he was developing despite below avg comp %/decision making and then forced to play him because other slingers not ready
Failure w/ Perry/Weldon/Williams either: 1) missed on talent eval and brought in athlete "who isnt what we thought he was"; 2) talent eval was spot on but blew up in their faces, "we thought we could work with/change him and we were wrong", 3) didnt develop him in a manner he could respond to; 4) thought he was developing despite below avg comp %/decision making and then forced to play him because other slingers not ready
Richt's leadership decision failures are also a very real concern. You (I'm lecturing him now) have an underperforming asset (Rosier) who doesn't exactly have the best track record with you personally. The TEAM wins some very close games (some they shouldn't have) and you get caught in the run of wins.
You stick to your guns 4 straight losses with Rosier--all the same theme--poor decision making combined with even poorer comp % and awful YAC throws. By LSU, glaring is the lack of QB development with Perry/Weldon/Williams. How could you possibly have not had one of those three ready to go if Rosier's EXPECTED shortcomings came to fore during the beat down in Big D?
Inexcusable.
But wait, it gets worse.
You then bench, mercifully, Rosier and give next man up his opportunity. Perry shows flashes of greatness and mediocrity that culminates in UVA decision. You not only do not give Perry (younger) the same length of leash you gave Rosier, you GO BACK to the same asset that is EXPECTED to underperform.
The second you benched Rosier, you had an OBLIGATION to ride Weldon (suspension notwithstanding) or Williams as the #2. If you wouldn't, it a abysmal PERSONAL failure not on the QBs, but you as HC. If you couldn't, then its an abysmal failure on the QB development program that includes Jr and YOURSELF.
YOU are paid $4M to make PROFESSIONAL and CORRECT decisions.
YOU are doing neither at the moment, in what, Yr 16 as a HC?
