After he refused to fire his as QB coach, fire himself as playcaller, and possibly fire Searles as OL coach, did he tell Miami he wouldn’t retire unless Manny was named as his successor?

There’s a suspicious connection between Richt’s retirement (seemingly without even a partial buyout) and Manny’s quick hiring that surprisingly few people ever seem to notice.

I don’t think this was a very high character move by a guy like Richt who’s supposed to be high character.

I wonder if Richt (mistakenly) thought that Manny would retain his son as QB coach as a “Thank you for helping me get the HC job” thing.

You can criticize his playcalling & his hiring of his son as QB coach but Coach Richt walked away from millions of dollars that he could have collected from the University of Miami. Almost no-one would do that. That was a very high character move by CMR. He also donated a significant amount to the IPF & was instrumental in making that happen. I think CMR is one of the classiest coaches in the profession.
 
No he’s said on tv that his advice was not sought in the naming of a new coach. He said he wishes they had asked it, but he said he was happy with the result nonetheless.

Nah. Miami got lucky dodging Richt's buyout. Your overthinking things this is just a incompetent AD who was caught with his d*ck in his hand and made a irrational hire 8 hours later.

Not just that. He let manny pressure his ***. Gave manny a 5 year deal. Made the deal THAT day. Are you kidding me? 1) Manny would have easily accepted a 3 year deal.
2) Manny did not have the leverage to demand the deal be done that day. If Blake comes back in 2 weeks does he really think Manny says no? Especially if he does give a 5 year deal. I get it if you need to give the 5 year deal two weeks later, but to give it in 24 hours makes 0 sense, he let manny get both things.
 
You can question a TON of things about Mark Richt the coach. In my humble opinion he was overrated even before the wheels fell off the wagon at Georgia and they ran him out of town.

You CANNOT question the man's character. You're talking about a human being that willingly walked away from money and did NOT hold the school hostage in terms of his buyout.

Our **** poor pathetically embarrassing administration parlayed that "get out of jail free card"into another ****** HC hire, but that's another story.

Richt is a good dude. I don't think anyone can question his character.

You don't think it's a high character move? I'm not sure how that's relevant since you completely made this up.

Agreed, also we apparently wouldn’t have paid him anyway because Flake James is a typical South Florida grifter.
 
Bro.

Put this on. Things will get better for you, I promise.

So Richt brilliantly waited until after Diaz got his job with Temple. Then coached the bowl game. Then told Blake James he had to buyout Diaz before he would step down? In return Richt would walk away from his own buyout? That’s odd. Wouldn’t Richt have some resentment rather than loyalty to a coach that left him for another gig?
