Is that he was at first open to making changes and then decided that he didn’t want to continue as HC if he had to make them. Not sure if it’s true, interesting though.

Our QB situation would be enough to force anyone into retirement.

Disagree.

Any issues people have with the man as a coach at Miami—he's as stand-up a human being as there is.

Was ready to retire in 2015 at 55 years old. Decided to give it one more go around as his alma mater called. Dug in for the gig, turned out to be more taxing than expected and obviously took a toll.

Probably had a five-year timeline in his head regarding what a rebuild would look like and entering year four, after a disastrous year three, realizes it's way off.

The thought of having to gut his offensive staff and bring on new guys / give up play calling (which was part of his excitement of getting back in game)—understandable that he'd rather ride off into the sunset with his wife, his faith and dedicate what time he has left to a bigger calling.

Commendable that he was able to process it all so quickly and realize that he didn't want to go through this type of overhaul.

I think we should fake interest in Mullen just to make Florida give him a raise.

I was thinking make a deal with a coach to pay them 50 mil a year, just so Bama has to pay Saban 51 mil. Obviously have a deal with the coach to make a tax friendly donation back to the school of 47 mil. Stick it to Alabama in the funniest way possible.

IMO, as someone that is all too familiar with Richt, that sounds a little too generous. He is a really good person, but if he has a fatal flaw, it’s pride.

Richt was burned out his last few years at Georgia and got canned for it. Rather than take a year off, he leapt at the Miami job. I’d say he did it out of spite, but it would be more charitable to say that he wanted to prove UGA wrong for firing him. His pride lit a temporary fire under him that couldn’t last.

In reading between the lines, CMR does what he always does when things go wrong: he dug in and refused to make offensive changes. When changes were forced on him, he chose to quit rather than fire his son. Management pro tip: that’s why you never hire your son to start with.

Richt’s retirement isn’t noble, it’s a testament to doubling down on bad decisions.
