Could be both...

Napier coaching QB's and CJ coaching WR's.

Could you imagine that?

Not sure if Jon Richt is going count against the cap.

I doubt it's both. I think both could command a co-OC role. It would be tremendous to get both but I don't see it happening.
 
I was just told Richt has his guy and announcement should be coming soon .
 
**** Crib you been on your game lately. You should bottle and sell those sauces...
 
It's obvious Richt has his guy by the way the information was told to Beard this morning. I doubt it's Napier with no smoke coming from the Bama boards.

He's been an OC, and UK had some decent WRs under his watch, IMO.

I'm not saying each candidate is "equal" ... But they are all "good" options, IMO.
 
I think it's claer who the new WR/OC is.....

Hint.....

Who recruited Jon Richt and was his QB coach in 2008 at Clemson?

Let's be realistic, Mark Richt is going to likely hire some unproven, young no-name as his WR coach given his recent hires of Ephraim Banda, Mike Rumph and his son, Jon Richt. Of all the coaches he's hired, Kuligowski and Brown are quite possibly the only desirable coaches on his staff. Those two will be highly sought after Year 1 or 2 at Miami. I can't say that'll be the case for any of the other coaches.

For all the talk from Mark Richt of getting messages from a litany of coaches wanting to coach at Miami, I think we somewhat fooled ourselves into thinking he was referring to highly sought after coaches, other than Dave Aranda.

This can work out 1 of 3 ways. Either the young coaches tear it up on the recruiting trail and Mark Richt's Youth Movement re-establishes Miami as a perennial Top 15 team; Miami's Youth Movement can bite them on the field due to inexperience at the skill positions (particularly Wide Receiver, Cornerback and Safety); or we can have a mixed bag with where one skill position group looks pretty darn good and another downright putrid.

I think we all thought he'd hire most of his coaches of Kuligowski's experience and accomplishment, yet that has turned out not to be the case.

The first test is going to come in recruiting, at least a sampling of it in 2016 with 2017 being the biggest indicator of what these guys can accomplish. The second test, coaching, will follow the same rubric. Don't expect much from them next season. I think 2017, from a coaching standpoint, will be a better judge of whats to come as that will be Year 2 of Mark Richt & Manny Diaz's system.

Guys let me know what you all think. Are you all as optimistic as when he was hired, more so or less so, now that he's put together the bulk of his staff?
 
I am not more or less optimistic. The staff has a big hit in Kool and a couple of guys who are proven to be at least decent like Searels. The others are going to have to prove themselves and how they do will ultimately be an indicator of how good Mark Richt is in identifying up and coming coaching talent.

I have trust in him at this point and am willing to give him 2 years of full support and then take it from there.

He's been a HC for 15 years, more than enough time to show his ability at IDing up and coming coaching talent.

And yet, his coaching tree is basically non-existent. I actually understand why the UGA AD basically handled hiring staff. Given the reigns, Richt is more interested in hiring married Christian family men than anything else. Zero excuse for having more than half of the staff be dudes with less than 5 years coaching experience, and in the case of 3 of those 5, 0 years coaching college at all. It's ******* embarrassing to be honest.

But hey, they all love them some Jesus.

This is a very sensible, level headed post. Nicely stated, and to answer your question, I'm a little less optimistic now than I was immediately after the coach Kool hire but this is the best I've felt about the program since 2005.

Napier is a pipe dream started by a banned poster.

There is much more smoke coming from the Dugans rumor.
