Exactly. Richt bows out gracefully, leaves a $20M buyout on the table and tossed $1M of his own cash to jumpstart the IPF movement—yet people are gonna find ways to trash him.

Wasn't cut out to make Miami a machine (on the field), but his efforts behind the scenes for three years put this program in much better shape than it was in infrastructure-wise. Judge him on the IPF, fighting to get assistant coaches more money (which paved the way to land Diaz) and change the nutrition program at UM, which was a must.

Dude also let the first 10-win season since 2003, waxed Notre Dame on national television, broke a seven-game losing streak against Florida State (and started a new two-game win-streak) and left the program in better hands than he received it in. Nothing wrong with any of that.

That speaks volumes about our HC hiring process... with the insane buyouts and no accountability on hiring of assistants and position coaches. ...

...never any learning despite a decade and a half of costly, program killing blunders..

Absolutely speaks volumes.

Won't soon forget the announcement of an Al Golden extension in the final game of the season (2011) en route to a home loss to Boston College.

Same to be said for extended Jim Morris' contract the summer after losing a 2012 home regional to Stony Brook and Missouri State by a combined score of 22-4.

That 2012 regional was the absolute litmus test for Morris. It was OVER!!! People that still supported him then were plain stupid.
 
Morris had a good run here. He just hung on too long.

I'm going to assume that Manny isn't a sunshine pumper and we've genuinely got a proper QB race that'll leave us in great hands with whoever the winner ends up being and an OL that's building their way towards matching their potential.

Which is about as good a news as we could've asked for this offseason

He was VERY critical of the qb room at the beginning of spring. No sunshine at all.

Those young guys accepted the challenge laid out before them and busted their asses, improving in the process.

He knows there is a ways to go, but his tone regarding the position has done a 180. He is genuinely impressed with their effort and growth. This alone bodes well for a big improvement in 2019.
