re: So I somehow missed that Jon Richt is the QB coach for Miami ...

I think a lot of you are mistaking competitive with open display of emotion. Richt is actually a very competitive person. I’m pretty sure he thought he could get his son some OTJT. What he did on the field really has no bearing on his ability to be a coach. The risk for Richt doing it is essentially this thread. If things go bad, it will be an easy target for criticism. I think Richt’s biggest issue is he assumed he could come in there and recruit like Miami did in the 80s. Between the previous “issues” they had and the loss of their brand, recruiting is not as easy for them as it used to be. This dovetail”s with the UGA sleeping giant philosophy when Richt was here. Richt recruited ‘well’, but the strength of the brand here helped him. If he can recruit consistently like he did here, he will be a 10 win coach in the ACC and slip into the ACC championship on occasion. If he fails to recruit well, he will continue to slip and eventually lose his job and he will be blamed for every decision he made.
