Re Richt as OC

I'll go ahead and say it. I, for one, do not intend to renew my season tickets next year. Call me what you want, but I cannot in good faith spend money on this sh*t-show. Besides, with young kids, it's simply much easier to watch games at home.

While I attended the game on Saturday night and cheered very loudly for Les Miles, I was there as a sign of gratitude for all he's done and as a show of support for him ON HIS WAY OUT. Had I known my enthusiasm for Coach Miles would have been misinterpreted otherwise, I simply would not have gone to the game, bought a program, cheered for Miles, etc.

Having said all that, however, if the program were to (a) make a big-time hire at the OC position (i.e. someone of Mark Richt's caliber...a proven QB coach, etc), and (b) ensure that the incoming OC were to be given free reign over the offense (ala boy douchebag at Alabama), I would strongly reconsider my stance on season tickets next season. LSU was willing to pay roughly $15+ to get rid of Miles (ignore the semantics of whether this amount would actually have been owed, payments spread out, etc.), so there is SOME money in the coffers (whether it lie with boosters or otherwise.) Instead, make Richt the highest paid OC in the country instead, give him latitude and a nice title (Executive VP over Football Affairs....anything short of HCIW.)

I'm sure I speak for others on this. A move like this would go a LONG WAY in putting the debacle of the last three weeks behind us. In addition, I think it would also be in Miles' best interest -if Richt were to come in and not succeed immediately (so long as not due to Miles continuing to run his 2 yard dive offense), I think fans would be willing to grant him more time.

But perhaps this is all too logical. Wishful thinking I guess.
