    Bad hire vs hire that doesn’t work

    Actually Richt had done very well doubling up as OC and HC at UGA. Those were his better years at UGA. That's why people were excited that he'd be OC here. My suspicion is that Richt forgot how to coordinate an offense by the time he came to Coral Gables.

    Bad hire vs hire that doesn’t work

    We nicely asked him to retire after he refused to fire his son as QB coach and fire himself as playcaller. His exit was basically a mutual parting of ways. It certainly was not something the admin was upset about.

And obviously he wasn’t going to get another HC job after Miami fired him-the real disgrace was that he couldn’t get a...

    Bad hire vs hire that doesn’t work

    Of course nobody wanted to hire Golden after he failed at Miami. That doesn’t mean other schools weren’t interested in him before he took the Miami job. And actually UCLA went after Golden twice. They interviewed him when he was 5-19 at Temple after 2 years (Temple was so bad that that was...

    Bad hire vs hire that doesn’t work

    I’d call Richt a hire that didn’t work. He had a generally solid stint at UGA. He was a bit on a downswing, but there was reason to think a stint at his alma mater might revive him. Shannon was flat out a bad hire. He was DC under a fired HC. No other FBS program wanted Shannon as head coach...
