I didn’t like Mayock when he did the ND games. One of those guys that talks all confidently so it makes it seem like they know what they’re talking about.I was going to mention the Dolphin fans point you made. It is amazing how people see somebody who "sounds" good on TV and they're willing to turn the keys of the franchise over to him. Funny enough you mentioned Mayock. He faceplanted in Vegas pretty hard for the Raiders. Riddick should watch his example.
It's much easier (and lucrative in the long run) to be the know-it-all on TV than to actually do the real job.
Riddick was also very irritating last year during the ND/Georgia Tech game last year. The broadcast kept going on about “did ND do enough” even though ND had one loss. Just following the company line IMO.
