I know this is a moot point, because he's not giving up play-calling duties and he's not firing his son or Thomas Brown, but I've been screaming for Kendal Briles for 2 years now and this kid is absolutely tearing it up at Houston, just like many of us knew he would.
He's only making $400k a year, and he's only signed thru next year. He could EASILY be had if this program is serious about playing offensive football.
In Year 1 at Houston, Briles has that offense:
#4 in America in YPG (553 a game)
#7 in YPP (7.18)
#3 in scoring offense (48.3 PPG)
They've scored 41+ points in every single game this year.
Yes, his father is Satan reincarnated. Yes, he may/may not have had something to do with that awful Baylor culture. But Richt is/will be still running the show. I seriously doubt hiring this dude will drive the program into the pits of **** like Baylor was. He is a **** offensive genius, and he's cheap as ****. 400k a year!! Of course Miami doesn't disclose salary information, but I'd be willing to bet that's not much more than Fredo Richt is making. And it's probably half of what Thomas Brown is making.
It's time for Richt to swallow his pride, get his kid another making coffee job in the NFL, and bring Briles in to be Co-OC with Brown and to call plays.
