Trying to see both sides of the coin.
I think some of JG's comments were fair, others maybe not.
The way things have played out, how many really think he "resigned," and wasn't told to do so? I think everyone would be bitter months after a similar situation. Then immediately after his successor was hired, plans for new training facilities, indoors, and football offices pop up - these were things he evidently asked for and weren't granted.
Still, I wish some of these comments hadn't come out.
The quote about Riley is a little silly. I know JG's bread and butter was the option, but you play the cards you're dealt. Riley came in, we based the offense around him, and we went on to win an ACC Championship. The Deacs decided to stick with that style after Riley graduated (can anyone really argue doing otherwise?) We went with a method without Riley and endured 3 losing seasons, 2 of which should have been bowl years. Love the kid Tanner Price is, but he wasn't Riley. We tried to install the option back this past year with TP still here and we all saw what happened.
Very happy for what he was able to give Mother So Dear. Very sad about the way things ended and continue to play out with situations like the one above and the trashing of a man who brought us something we never thought was possible.
Was asked a question recently.... if over the next 13 seasons, we were guaranteed 5 bowl games & an ACC Championship, would you take it? That means we would have to accept 8 non-bowl seasons. Or do you think we can do better? Is it too LOWF to accept that deal?
