He can play whatever qb he wants...as long that offense and play calling is intact, failure is a guarantee. He repeats the same thing to Joe every Monday that all 11 guys must do their job in order for his offense to be effective. Even the best offenses in the nation have success without every guy making his proper blocks, running downhill through the correct holes, getting separation and running precise routes, and qb reading defense correctly and making the perfect throw. What's wrong with this fool? Does he not understand that some of us live and breathe the x's & o's of football. My take from the interview was that he knew exactly what questions were coming his way and he decided to be a smartazz and give fvckoff answers as a slap in the face. Very first question, "he's the starter because i said he's the starter" with a smirk. And he lost all privileges to ask the fans to come out and give them the home field advantage after he hit us with jabs of stubbornness, uppercuts of naive, and power blows of excuses.
I can't respect stubbornness, especially when effects so many people in the Canes family. Players and coaches futures are on the line, administrative and financial support rest his hands, while the culture around sFL football will spiral downward very fast. Recruits, hs coaches, handlers and parents are intensively attentive to the management of the program under his watch while other coaches will continue to neg us in every pitch effort to gain an upper hand with mutual targets. It's not trending good as managed. However, Richt has the leverage and he knows it. The guy looks dejected and on the brink of a breakdown. Sad thing is, there's no one in his inner circle that has the balls to sit him down and give him the dirty truths.
I feel that Richt should take a buyout and we celebrate him re-energizing the community behind Canes football and giving us hope again. I think he can walk away with head up for the things he has done for UM in the short period of time. Albeit; if he chooses to stay on board, he needs to embrace the CEO role and delegate the offensive side of the ball to a hungry, innovative, modern day offensive mind. Allow him to implement his playbook, a have complete control of the qbs and play calling. Richt can hire an OLine coach away from another school and send his son to coach ST if he insist on keeping him on as an assistant. Give him a shot there, it can't get much worst. I think Brown and Dugans will not accept the demotion from co-cord. and we will need to replace two very good position coaches and recruiters but some sacrifices will have to be made to move upward.
