Of course he does because Pete Carroll told O this was the guy he should get despite canning him himself.

Some interesting quotes from Richard after deciding to sit it out in 2020:
On minority coaches:
USA Today
quote:
Jettisoned by the Cowboys in the sweep that included the firing of coach Jason Garrett, Richard interviewed for several jobs early this year – including two head coaching positions – but was offered nothing with a rank higher than defensive backs coach.
No thanks.
“It’s kind of like knowing your worth, knowing your value,” Richard told USA TODAY Sports. “What’s the difference between the two? Do they coincide? Are they interchangeable? Cutting through all of that, I wasn’t willing to take anything less than I am. I know what I am and I know what I am capable of.”
On minority coaches:
quote:
“I was taught a long time ago: You’ve got to be 10 times better to go just as far,” Richard said. “That doesn’t drive me, but I’m driven. My standard is that I want to be the best who’s ever done it.”
quote:
“I’m on the verge of burnout on game day,” he said, alluding to hours watching games simultaneously on “Sunday Ticket," providing mental reps for defensive strategies. “I’ve always watched football critically. It’s not about what anybody else is doing. It’s about, ‘What would I do?’ Always being prepared, situationally.”

People want to blame the DBs, particularly the CBs for the atrocious pass defense, but in reality, while a huge part of it was the DBs, it was mostly the safeties being out of position time and time again.
Busch was atrocious as a coach this year with the safeties and they were the worst unit on the team. It was clear that Aranda schemed around Bucsh's style, and Pelini did not. It is honestly why I think guys like Busch and Cregg needed to go. You are having to scheme everything around their specific style in order for their units to be good to the potential detriment of the team.
Richard is an awful choice and would prove that O is simply going to continue to hire USC garbage. We are not USC. LSU is actually better than USC in many regards historically the past 25 years and defense is one of them.
In the end, hire someone that fits the scheme choice instead of one of your buddies. We all know O is likely not to do that if he misses out on his top choice.
