Possibly just calling it “resigning” for public face-saving reasons, but formally there is a buyout agreement? Or would that level of non-transparency dealing with pay not be legal because it’s a public institution?

Yeah in any case I think everyone is just ready to finally be done with and past the Cam saga, but what has happened to the team the last couple years could have devastating long-term effects on the program.

Rising is not a coach, he was a player, which means “his job” when he is not playing is supporting his teammates.

Fair, but he didn’t seem to be doing much supporting last night. In the several times he was shown, only once was he seen interacting with players (high-fiving Bernard after the TD); he was otherwise always sitting off with the same one guy (don’t know who he was). In one case he was shown in what looked like jovial conversation with the other guy immediately after Wilson got clobbered. I saw no indication he was actively involved in supporting Wilson, which is what I would expect from a captain QB. Hey maybe it was a discussed/agreed arrangement for him to just sit back, but superficially from a fan’s persepective it didn’t look like involved/supportive engagement you would expect, especially for a captain.
