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.”

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

If O takes this guy over Odom then O is doing it to please the politically correct LSU crowd.

Sounds like someone that would be great to get around kids that are already being fed BS about the hardships they will face.

Instead of admitting that he simply isn't as good as he thought and working his way back into a position, he pouts, takes his ball and goes home. It's pathetic given he has never proven shite as a DC unless under Pete Caroll (who we know runs that defense).

Hell he wasn't even DC in Dallas.
