Pretty sure they did reach an impasse. Richt said he wouldn't fire his son and relinquish OC duties and James said he wouldn't fire him but he WOULD hire an OC and fire his son. Was going to be messy ... Richt resigned rather than get into that mess. He didn't need the money ... but by all accounts UM wasn't going to fire him so there would have been no buyout to pay. He was and is a tremendous person. He was burned out and most likely feeling the impact of the disease that was diagnosed later on. Nasty to deal with. With medication the symptoms can be controlled at least for a while. Hope he is able to control it with meds and goes on to live a long life.

He didn’t need that money? Any other coach on this planet tells Miami F U, I am not firing my son. Don’t like it? Fire me and pay what is legally owed to me.

Are you referring to a player spiking the football? It’s a penalty. You rarely see it in CFB because everyone knows its a penalty. Or are you referring to trivial penalties in general?

IIRC, Ed Reed spiked the ball in the endzone after scoring the clinching TD against BC in 2001. 15-yard penalty but no one gave a fvck. And rightly so.

Again, I never said it wasn't a penalty, I know **** well that it is a penalty. But he did not spike it in a celebratory "Billy White Shoes Johnson" type of a fashion, he just threw it down too hard and it bounced. I've watched plenty of football where that type of thing is not called.

But, yeah, you're going to cite something that happened 20 years ago. And which didn't change the flow of the game, as it was the clinching touchdown. Which is kinda the point that I made, if this was Alabama vs. Georgia mid-game, there are very few refs that would have thrown the flag, that's just a simple fact. Yes, the flag was more likely to come out given the triviality of the situation and the opponent (Bethune-Cookman).

From what I was told ... he was told that he would not be fired but an OC would be hired and his son would be fired ... period. He surprised everyone when he resigned. It was a similar situation when Whipple was hired ... not by Randy but by the AD. It was a bad situation ... Whipple ran the offense and Randy ran the rest of the program. They didn't even speak on game days during a game. I sat behind the home bench at that time and it was a nasty relationship.
 
The following may help those writing that Richt was lazy. Parkinson’s well known symptoms are the tremors, gait, and bradykinesia but mood and cognitive decline are just as prevalent. Every patient with Parkinson’s has his own journey but consider the possibility that Richt accepted that he was no longer up to the task and resigned for the benefit of the team.

Richt can do or say whatever he wants. That guy saved our butts with salary sacrifice, IPF and so on. I disagreed with his nepotism but he is straight $$$ in my book. Name some stuff after him please.

Richt definitely laid out a blueprint that the former AD should have but just didn't want to follow. For better or worse, I honestly think Richt would have lasted way longer here but I'm sure he realized how far back we were as a program and it was **** near unfixable if things didn't change from the top.
