Miami football coach Mark Richt likely didn’t know his athletic director was about to release a statement on Twitter saying the Hurricanes’ performance Thursday in their Pinstripe Bowl loss to Wisconsin was “unacceptable.’’
But when Richt was asked at the post-game news conference if, in light of his team’s “struggles on offense’’ this year, he has “given any thought to maybe bringing in some help’’ — as in, say, an offensive coordinator to call the plays — Richt came as close to perhaps accepting the idea as he has all season.
Perhaps.
“I’ll just say this,’’ Richt said.
