There Goes Kyle Wright's Career

Looks like Miami's QB competition has finally come to an end. Coach Shannon has announced that Kirby Freeman will be the Canes starting QB to start the season against Marshall. Freeman beat out last year's starter Kyle Wright for the job, basically adding the final touches to the underachieving/disappointing career of Kyle Wright. Wright was said to be injured throughout camp, basically giving Shannon the excuse he needed to bench the once phenom. While Freeman was prone to some dumb mistakes last season, I'm in favor of the move. I mean at least Freeman brought some imagination to the offense. My opinion can do a 180 if Freeman throws three picks vs Marshall on Saturday.

Another somewhat funny Miami note: According to AA, Larry Coker (yes Miami's former head coach) will be in the booth for ESPN for Miami's opener against Marshall. Seriously, who at ESPN scheduled that? You are telling me that they couldn't have stuck him at any of the other 65 games ESPN will broadcast this weekend? That is going to be a terribly awkward first day in the booth for Coker, especially when Miami comes out and plays with more passion and discipline.
