Mark Richt and Manny’s hiring

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?

My suspicion is that Richt thought Diaz would retain Richt. Jr as QB coach.

Mark Richt probably thought Diaz would be thankful to him for helping him get the Miami HC job. Plus Manny was already familiar with Richt Jr. from being on the staff together.

I don’t think Richt. Sr. cared about much other than his son remaining employed.

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.
