Excellent article. Didnt like this line though...
"He took Coach Diaz for his word that he'd have a clean slate, a fair shot to win the job", Wofford (high school coach) said. "So, he wants to give it a shot through Spring".
Give it a shot "through Spring"?!? So he is already in the mindset that if he doesn't win the starting job he is out? I sure hope not as it takes one hit for a #2 to become the guy, and if Tate gets the nod, Id rather have Williams as 2 than any of the others. I dont know any other way to interpret that quote though. Then again, theres a strong chance a starter is not decided on by the end of Spring.
Two thoughts here:
1). Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Right? I'm sure the Richt's told Jarren that he'd be given a shot to compete last year. I can understand why he'd be hesitant when a guy from Richts staff tells him the same thing.
2). The way I read into that comment is not that he needs to be anointed by the end of April or he's going to transfer. I take it that he needs to think, feel and see that he is truly being given a shot to win the job. If that's truly the case then he'll stick around.
