Hey, maybe instead of honorary captain, he could be honorary Andrew Luck Director of Offense instead.....

Yeah, I was waiting for someone to go there. Can you imagine this from Tavita’s perspective? You put in your time twice, only to be beaten out by the same guy again, twelve years later? If this ever occurred, he might have to demand satisfaction, like Aaron Burr or the “Three Musketeers”! (But it’s just not happening.)

Interesting perspective, and how personally devastating for Tavita if it happened.  But it won't.  And, in my view, if Pritchard were a more successful OC than college QB, he would already have been poached for a head coaching job somewhere, maybe at an FCS-level program to prove his value before getting a top coaching job.  But that isn't happening, so any hypothetical competition with Mr. Luck for OC at Stanford is a moot point.  Pritchard is certainly a fine dude, and we all owe him a debt of gratitude for what he wrought in 2007.  But he should not be OC at Stanford.  Let's see if Shaw recognizes this and adjusts accordingly.

It is a crazy thought, but Luck is smart, an exemplary human being and a great motivator.  Maybe there is a spot for him on Shaw's staff.
