As mentioned the CMR for Kirby swap at UGA was designed for one purpose and one purpose only

Richt was one of the worst coaches all time at the U. He was exactly what Golden was. I promise you better days are ahead. People think he can recruit but he can’t. We had two five stars last year that were coming here regardless of who was the coach. Especially Pope when Cooney was hired. Richt’s loyalty to one of the worst staffs assembled on the offensive side of the ball was crippling to this program and would’ve had a greater affect going into 2020. Let’s be honest I wouldn’t call him a quitter, he realized he wasn’t made for this anymore. He didn’t want to adapt and couldn’t so he was almost forced out by the noise. I’ll atleast commend him for realizing that.

It designed to get another SEC team into the big time bag game... the Don Saban way..

.... Richt was a stumbling block in more ways than what is seen

Yeah, he quit instead of making hard decisions. I liked Richt and simply wanted him to get with the times. Hire an OC and revamp the O. It’s what real coaches do when things are not working. Instead of making those moves, he quit. I think it’s funny, actually. He quit and his entire O staff was immediately axed anyway.

Agree except when you say coaches only make changes when things are not working. That’s false. Anything in life you are always trying to get an edge. If you wait for failure than most of the times it’s too late. Bama was winning Titles and still switched to a spread.

If he stayed, half of them had to be fired (JR, Searls, and himself as OC). If he didn't want to coach without them - mostly his son - then retiring was the better option.

Let's not forget that during his intro press conference, he even said something along the lines of "I was going to take a year or two away from football, but Miami was the one job" that could stop him from taking that sabbatical. He knew that if he wanted to come back after 1-2 years, the job wouldn't be available.

He actually put the team above his offensive staff by retiring and saving the program however much money ($16M?) Call it quitting if you want, but some of the decisions he made were probably as hard the ones he needed to make to stay and succeed.
 
Getting rid of CMR at that time was a fantastic move.

I disagree brought a level of relevance back to the U that we had not seen in forever. Brought us our next head coach in Diaz. 10 games had not been won in 15 years. I was beginning to think it couldn't be done here. It at least gave me hope.

Oh I'm glad he resigned, quit, whatever. It beat the heck out of firing him and buying him out. It was a good move for all involved. Just saying, I didn't want him fired unless he refused to make changes. He did the right thing.

Everyone keeps saying how Rorcht didn't take any money but if he really retired, why would he be owed anything? He had an obligation to fulfill that time as well and if he left voluntarily, why would he be owed anything else?

He could've stayed and either taken the program down with him (but gotten paid) or demanded he be bought out rather than make changes

We don't know what the settlement was...
... I guarantee you that there was a retirement clause in his contract that included a few millions..
 
Honestly I can see him taking a stab at the NFL as very rare do you get a legit shot jumping from college up there!

I’m sure he knows I’d he fails he will have SEC ADs blowing him off to come back if it doesn’t work out

Yeah, UGA will be blackmailed into a premature extension and raise. At least when other schools do it, their coaches actually have leverage. We give premature extensions and raises to schlubs that nobody wants.

...although it didn’t hurt us this time.

When Golden got his, it was a completely different situation. The administration was scared, and rightly so (first year of looming sanctions, “death penalty”, etc), and Golden’s agent took advantage of it.

This is hilarious on so many fronts. First what makes TB think this dude can turn around one of the worst franchises in the NFL? Smart has such an abbreviated coaching resume. They'd be perfect for each other.

If it happens as I mentioned before the only things remembered about the Smart coaching era at UGA are how quickly the window closed for them and how poorly the UGA fanbase treated the best coach they ever had to take a gamble.

Long term UM fans will feel the same way about CMR.

As some have posted......a good agent will position and throw the ball.........someone has to catch it, and in doing so Smart gets into the Mega bucks Coaching category....
 
Looks like Bruce Arians is getting the Tampa job. That's actually a good hire. Certainly better than Curby.

Richt didn’t do ****. He inherited a team that had 10 kids get drafted so there was talent here. We played absolutely no one last year we should’ve won 10 games although we were a couple bounces away from being 7-6. Still we had all the momentum in the world and he ****ed us back to irrelevancy with his Stone Age BS coaching. The guy was the worst.
