His views on scheduling are stupid at best
His views on playing EJ Perry in garbage time when the season was already effectively meaningless, costing him a year of eligibility barring an appeal, are even dumber.
Calling anything he says "views" is undeserved praise. He doesn't have views. He speaks in incomplete sentences and cliches. Comparing the way Daz and the other coaches come across in the transcript make that clear.
If Perry ever sees the field the season is already over anyway.
I get you're probably referring to Perry playing in any significant games, so sorry for the quibbling, but I actually think one of the great things about the schedule and Brown's injury is that Perry (or MacDonald) should definitely get some playing time this year, especially early in the season.
Daz has been absolutely terrible about getting younger QB's meaningful snaps. 4th quarter garbage-time hand off's is all I've ever seen him allow anyone. It's a recipe for disaster.
But with Brown coming back from an injury and still not playing with the first team in summer practice -- AND with us starting out the year with UMass and Holy Cross -- Daz almost has to play one of them. Possibly as much as the entire 2nd half of both games (assuming blowouts). Hopefully it will be a trend that can be continued if any of the other first half games become lopsided (i.e. Temple, or maybe even Wake or Purdue, if we get lucky and things are really clicking).
Perry (or MacDonald) need as many minutes as possible and I doubt even Daz can avoid it this year.
