Once JJ got suspended that would have been impossible. You would have to start the experienced JL against Oregon. After he played well you would have to keep playing him. After JJ came back you can't put your #1 guy (there was a competition and he won it) at #3 for the season. So now you are stuck and Mett's not getting in.

Yes you can, and that's exactly what he should have done. JJ"s behavior and suspension alone in my mind relegates him to the back burner. He put himself before the team, he has to pay the price. Mett becomes #2, gets meaningful experience and PT, and is good to go for next year. JJ is relegated to back up in case of emergency, is never allowed to run the offense full time (which he wasn't qualified to do anyway because he can't pass), JL stays in as #1 and everyone's happy.

Instead we get Master Hardhead manipulating things in an obtuse way and getting an undesirable result which pisses off the fan base and ruins the recruits perception of the program.
