Richt on Joe Rose Show

[Pearson704]

LOL at idiots who think a HC should be involved in compliance issues. Like Art Briles? Or Butch Jones? That always works out perfectly. The HC never has any incentive to want to keep players eligible does he?

Double LOL at the analysis of Richt's tone.

Exactly Right-they have to be insulated from this in all aspects. My only concern is the timing-that the U used outside counsel which slowed the process.They had a cavalier approach to the whole thing and it hurt our preparation .

Another guy who knows nothing about the process or how anything unfolded giving a hot take on UM being cavalier. Do you have even a remote clue as to how much investigating needed to be done or how the players' lying and lawyering up might have impeded the speed of the investigation? Do you realize the NCAA might have taken time to respond given the fact they have plenty of other cases going?

Do you? I mean, does anyone?


And I don't think comparing this to the Briles or Jones issues are overly pertinent. Kind of like comparing apples to...well...raped watermelon?


I cannot give credence to the idea that the University of Miami, after literally making every wrong choice in the book in regards to the football team over the last decade, took a reasonable, well thought out, and prudent action...even if I don't take the admittedly idiotic view that the players are somehow blameless.

I don't pretend to know what went on in the process. That's why I'm not jumping to the idiotic conclusion that UM bungled this.

The more common sense approach is that UM takes football seriously based on eating Folden's salary and paying Richt and his staff a ton of money. The buffoons lose me with their tin foil hat thinking (and I use that term loosely) assuming UM is going out of its way to fck players and overreact.

In your anti-UM tantrums, you guys are refusing to acknowledge certain facts regarding mandatory ineligibility for acceptance of impermissible benefits and for lying during investigations like this. When you refuse to even acknowledge those mandatory penalties, all you're doing is foot stomping and acting like petulant babies.

No AQM and Grace means an already bad defense got worse.

The upside is that younger player will get a ton of reps.

Shaq, McCloud and Pickney with 30-35 starts between them is very good for the immediate future of this program.

I don't get your constant harping on how this is a bad defense. I'm talking before the dismissals. Obviously losing AQM and Grace will affect the defense in a negative manner. Before the dismissals I thought we were lacking depth at LB and CB but I was anticipating a huge improvement based on scheme and coaching. A good DL can take a defense a long way. Even now I expect our defense to be OK and improve as the season goes on but I don't expect them to be terrible.
