Mark was under pressure to fire Jon

[4TheU]

Everyone knew that’s where changed needed to start. Then he needed to fire Searles and hire an OC. It was all too much for Richt so he did the honerable things and stepped down.

Felder needs to go ...

 

[mackjones]

Felder needs to go ...

He gone like the wind!

 

[Canesfan1899]

Felder needs to go ...

He likely will be out the door. There were other issues that needed to be handled beforehand, but that’s all moot now that he’s gone!

 

[mackjones]

Very true, but dudes were on here after the announcement memorializing Richt as this classy Saint Richt. Please, he did the right thing to avoid doing the right thing.

Richt demonstrated how absolutely STUBBORN ARROGANT and EGOTISTICAL the man he is!!!!!! So much for christian virtue and all of that.

 

[Mark_RichtOC]

So Richt put the rest of the staff in the unemployment line cause he couldn't fire his obviously unqualified son. That's ****ed up.

 

[WhoDat]

Never hire someone you can't fire.

 

[AlphaMarshan]

This is why you don't hire family. Even if Jon was qualified (he wasn't), Mark should have understood this from the optics alone. Or had the wherewithal to tell Jon beforehand that this is the big time, and if things don't work out there may be a chance he has to fire him.

From Golden's loyalty to his bff D'OH NO frio to Richt's loyalty to his son/assistants, the next coach that comes here better be ready to make any changes necessary to help us win; I hope we can all agree on that.

 

[RightSaidFred]

It was the whole offense staph. I told you guys that 2 weeks ago

Yes you did. Props.

Flexibility is a must

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

So James isn’t the spineless coward people portray him as?

No, he's just the moron that prematurely extended him and made the whole situation more dramatic than it should have been.

 

[Mnhurricane]

So technically Jon Richt saved the program

Let’s fly a banner to thank him

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Via Bruce Feldman.

“A person with direct knowledge of the matter told The Athletic on the condition of anonymity that a big reason for Richt’s exit is that he was under pressure to remove his son Jon from the Hurricanes coaching staff. Jon Richt was the Hurricanes’ quarterbacks coach.”

Mark Richt at even the INTIMATION that he should fire Lil Jon:

 

[Cane_lover]

Glad they had the balls to do it. Probably very hard telling a man to fire his own son.

No need to tell him, just make him watch film of our offense this year...

 

[Crimpy]

So what's all this bull**** being tossed around about Manny keeping Jon on staff? How does that make any sense in light of this report?

 

[Cane_lover]

Jon should have jumped in the grenade and stepped down. He is an idiot.

Yep.... and the maroons here are singing Mork's praises as if he stepped away because of his love and devotion to the U....

...the phoney Cane only wanted to build his kid's coaching career ... forget what happens to the program or the future of the kids who signed up to play for us...

..thank heavens JW didn't transfer..

Does this help us or hurt us with JW?

Yeah its true. I think most of it is just jokes. Honestly the whole offensive staff should go. I will be extremely disappointed if thats not the case.

No way that could be true is there?

Was there some sort of an agreement between Richt to no go after his buyout to keep his son on staff? Please tell me our admin aren’t that weak...never mind, I know they are.
