What if Joe made Nick a promise?
Imagine watching millions$$ of your sweat equity evaporate within 1 instance. It happens. Fishing camps get destroyed by hurricanes, boats and properties destroyed. California land investors always have to worry about wildfires ravaging the surface of the retirement fallback. Imagine making a promise to a 21 year old, one in which has implications on a young mans future... his sons future, his sons sons future.....safe to say a 3 lineage. These coaches get paid to make the big decisions, without question. Unfortunately, this is bigger than just running another Qb onto the field.
I believe in my heart of hearts, barring another injury, Dan would have gotten Fitz paid.
After the Florida game, on TV as the coaches were shaking hands, the camera went to Fitz for about 5 seconds. He was leaving the field, visibly upset....but before entering the tunnel he turned around and looked for maybe someone, anyone that might would have been chasing him. Their wasn't. He quickly exited the field.
Those tears and frustration you saw on his face at that instant, wasn't just from the outcome of a game, rather, he took a glimpse into the future. That 5 second stare, told the story. He was looking for Dan.
He came out and took his aggression out on Aub a team with no heart. LSU had too much heart for a 1 trick pony who beat them by30 the previous year.....but Moorhead stood true to his promise.
What promise? The same promise Dan had with Fitz. "What's your ring size, I'm about to get you paid" Joe has given Fitz every chance to make some throws.
So at what point do we throw in the towel on the two promises, a 5th year senior, and a kid who has physically left it all on the field since his 1st game? Unfortunately, in today's world, sweat equity is severely undervalued. Its a now approach. Win now or change.
The wind has picked up and the smoke is headed towards the farm.
