CMR on Joe Rose - 11/12

I don't think he steps down. I think if he makes zero changes he will get fired. I hope he does the honorable thing and walks.

You think wrong. Golden didn't do a dam thing and lasted 5 years. I haven't been following. Are there any sources saying that he's considering making staff changes? I mean I want the guy gone, but realistically that ain't happening. Hopefully he brings in a young, dynamic offensive coordinator, but he'd have to get rid of someone on the offensive staff and he probably doesn't have the balls to do it.

What can he say, its all coach speak all coaches do this. When they first arrive every fan believes every BS that comes out there mouth until it catches up with them. This cat is already cooked, the program in general is cooked from top to bottom its fried.

The players didn’t quit.

That is actually the only good thing I have to say right now. Under Golden or Shannon it would have been a blowout. Most of the players deserve big props for not quitting through all this bull****e corching.

I do. I think he looks tired and he has other ambitions in life. He was close to retiring after UGA. I could be wrong but I think instead of trying to right the ship he’ll just hang it up

To be fair, the best way for him to right the ship is to retire.

I'm also growing more and more expectant and hopeful that he will retire at the end of this season. Granted, I'm thinking it's a 15-20% chance that happens, not a likelihood or a certainty, but the chances of him retiring, in my mind, are up from 0% a month ago, and maybe 1% two weeks ago. He's got to know at this point that this situation is not salvageable in any meaningful way with him running the show. He CAN still save a lot of face, have a really nice broadcast career, spend time with his family, and be an ambassador for the program by hanging it up after this season and being a part of some type of meaningful transition.

He has done a lot for the program. All but the loonie fringe of his harshest critics will look upon him kindly in hindsight if he does the right thing for the program.

It looks to me like he has finally realized its gonna be waaaay harder than he thought, and so many changes need to be made he don't know where to start, he's beat down and miserable, he'll say to **** with it, and walk

I agree. I think he was done and ready to walk in 2016, but the excitement of coming back home to his alma mater gave him a bit of a spark. But this latest revelation that his long endeared football philosophies are flawed and ineffective is just too much for him to swallow.

I think he retires, too.
 
He’s not going anywhere. I particularly liked the way they were yakking it up at the end when Joe, Joe, Joe with tongue in cheek asked CMR if he wanted him to send him some of the plays that fans where suggesting he run. Rome is burning and Nero fiddles. No question in my mind this team is losing out.

Agreed. I think retirement is his best option. I think it would be too difficult for him at this point in his career to gut his staff and hire guys who would do things completely different and push him to the wayside. I think a younger coach would be open to that concept, but not an old veteran coach.

I honestly think he walks at the end of the season. His demeanor right now speaks to that.

Sometimes we actually look ok in the run blocking department but our pass blocking has to be the worst I’ve ever seen. Add QBs that struggle and a senile playcaller and it’s a recipe for disaster. Oh and receivers that can’t ******* catch.

I have to disagree, the run blocking this game was very inconsistent. Of course some plays will work and people do their jobs, but majority of the time people are literally getting bullied right of line, or they will double a Dt leaving a DE or LB free to have a tackle for a lose. Like it's really bad seeing that we dont gave one reliable OL, everyone of our starters and backups OL completely whiffs on a block more than once a game. This goes for the whole season too, not just last game.
 
I just don't get how anyone listens to these interviews and believes some massive changes to the staff are coming.

A new OL coach? Sure. Some more analysts? Sure. Another experienced head somewhere on the offensive staff? Fine.

But, come February, the thought that this guy is going to have someone in here overhauling is into an up-tempo modern spread offense is just crazy. Not wrong in principle, just crazy.
 
I'm starting to wonder if Richt's reason for sticking with upperclassmen and preaching about them giving us the best chance to win is really about reaching his CONTRACT INCENTIVES. X amount for making a bowl game. X amount for getting to a certain number of wins.

Its the only reason I can come up with to justify playing upperclassmen who have no NFL future. Look at Tito for example. He hasn't put 5 years of his time into the U. He has no prior loyalty to Richt. He's a one year merc with no NFL future. But yeah, lets give him minutes over Nesta.

He's not the only guy who comes to mind. Just the first one. Why else would Richt continue to do this?

RIcht is beaten. He started to say that he doesn't Credit the D enough and in the same breath, he starts criticizing them?? How at the end they needed a stop on D but GT was able to run 6 minutes off the clock, and how it was 4th & 7 but they jumped offsides to make it 4th & 2. Why mention that??

He sounds dejected and outright confused.
 
From a Psychology standpoint, I can't imagine a storied achiever will leave as a huge loser. Money issues aside, he surely believes (hopes?) things "could" get better next year just like our luck held out during the huge win streak. Luck and a few changes maybe to appease the attackers is his likely M.O. - not riding off into the Key West retirement sunset any time soon.

I have zero sources just giving my 02 cents which I am usually wrong about. I agree based on his history at UGA he has zero balls.

Agree with this, don't think he realized it was gonna be this tough, thought he could be atop the ACC pretty easy compared to where he was. Now he has created a major **** storm and he don't know wtf to do about it but realizes its gonna take a major effort, everybody has turned on him in year 3 and he's pretty much right back where he was at the end of UGA. Does he want to put forth THAT much effort, he already looks beat down bad, realizes he's gonna have to change everything, that's everything, or he can take his millions and walk away, no more pressure. I think he retires...

Disagree, he'll just continue to ride this out, doing the bare minimum, until the admin will eventually have to step in and let him go. By that time the program will be a smoldering wreck.
