Message: [QUOTE="FloridaCuse, post: 5536521, member: 8912"] Fran may have an overly strong loyalty to Rickie and because of that isn't looking at the situation objectively. He named Rickie the starter after Spring Ball which some thought might have been premature. Throughout training game he kept reiterating that Rickie and Steve were very very close. You had some on the inside say they didn't know how Fran was going to choose. Maybe he really really wanted Rickie to win the job but in the end even he had to concede Steve was the better option. If it had really been close he may have picked Rickie as QB1. Now that Steve is out, he has renewed his (maybe blind) loyalty to Rickie and just won't consider any alternative. If they aren't preparing Luke for more of the playbook because of that it may be coaching malpractice if Rickie goes down. If Luke sees it this way, why stay. [/QUOTE]
