Miami Hurricanes quarterback Malik Rosier occasionally relives an ugly conversation in 2016 with then-new Miami football coach Mark Richt — and the even uglier play during a scrimmage that prompted it.
“Terrible, terrible pick,’’ Rosier said.
“The pocket began to collapse, and instead of me taking a sack or throwing the ball away, I backpedaled and threw it up for grabs in the middle of the field.’’
Then, the soon-to-be redshirt sophomore made another mistake: He turned around to face his coach, one of the preeminent quarterback gurus in college football – a mild-mannered, meticulous, systematic, professor-like man who knows exactly what he wants and teaches it to the last detail.
