“There’s a lot of merit to being a steady, solid, great decision-maker.”
If there’s one lesson Richt hopes to convey to his new quarterback this offseason, that’s it.
Like Greene, Aaron Murray likely will be taking over Georgia’s offense as a redshirt freshman. Unlike Greene, however, Murray has the benefit of an extra year in Richt’s system and 10 returning starters on offense to ensure there is no shortage of weapons at his disposal.
It’s how willing Murray is to rely on that knowledge and those weapons that matters most to Richt.
“He needs to understand that you don’t have to do anything spectacular,” Richt said. “You don’t have to put the team on your shoulders. You’re not required to carry this football team. You’re required to do your job, and part of your job is to try not to be a hero.”
It’s not that Murray can’t be a hero. In fact, while Richt has worked to drive home the lesson of playing it safe to his young quarterback, he’s been busy touting Murray’s merits to nervous fans wondering whether Georgia has the right man for the job.
“Do a little search on Aaron Murray,” Richt told the crowd in Macon. “Watch his high school tape. I think you’ll be just as excited as you were the day he committed and signed at Georgia.”
Richt has yet to name Murray the starter, but last week he softened a bit, admitting it was unlikely anyone else could win the job.
