I love the fact that Coach Richt is trustworthy, which helps in recruiting - a parent knows they have a guy that's going to groom their kids into respectable young men, etc... I love that he has very savvy awareness about what he reveals to the public, to keep folks guessing - only telling the media what he wants his opponents to know. He is also able to subtly motivate guys though the media, knowing they'll see his praises for their competition during camp, etc...
So I get it, they guy is wise and cautiously wise all rolled into one, but cautious seems to be the leading attribute when it comes to game day decisions...
Here's the laundry list of things we all know about that makes it clear that Coach Richt will slow-walk changes we desperately need to make:
1) QB Change
2) OL Positional Changes
3) Punter change
4) Offensive Play-calling
I think Coach Richt takes his time with the personnel changes (#1-3), simply because his loyalty makes him give players a fair shake, until they prove its obvious that we have to go in another direction.
But what scares me, is the Offensive play-calling, because that doesn't point to any other guy but him. Play-calling is something personal that he wants to do, and that said, who's there to check Coach Richt on what he's doing, when he decides to run the same unsuccessful play 10-15 times a game?
Though I love Coach Richt for several of his strengths as a person, Richt has got to add some moxy to who he is as an on-field Coach. Currently, he can get the guys here, and has the clout to bring in good coaches to develop our team... However, this team will only be as good as Coach Richt's ability to demand a certain standard to continue starting for this team, and his creative ability!
For instance: Perry can make all of the throws, but the entire offense is only going to be as dynamic as Coach Richt's ability to give the defense a variety of looks, to help set plays up quicker, and pull the trigger in allowing Perry to sling it more often!
We're seeing Coach Richt clam up in his play calling when we face teams with talent. It's internalized caution, and he needs to realize that we need an OC with ice in his veins...
I enjoyed the win and I'm not calling for Coach's head... I think he was a godsend to get us back to a Cane level, but we aren't in the 90's anymore! We need an OC!!
