I’m saying you can’t blame the losses for the acccg and ob on us having bad coaches without giving them the credit for making those games despite having a less then stellar qb. And yes I blame a lot of those losses on malik, the guy was throwing sub 50% and missing wide open guys. Not a lot coaching can do for an inaccurate arm. Best coach in the world isn’t going to turn malik into Tom Brady, he’s still got his physical limitations.
A few things:
1. You can "blame" Malik but Malik doesn't put himself in the game. Malik doesn't make the game plan or call the plays either. We all knew Malik's limitations as we watched the games last year. He has accuracy issues. Take for example the Pitt game last year. Why allow him to throw the ball 30+ times? You know he struggles to complete passes. The/A _____________ (insert adjective here) coach isn't going to force something that doesn't work especially in game 11. The best coach won't turn Malik into Brady. But at the same time, the best coach knows NOT to force something that clearly isn't working. A good coach wouldn't force it either. Perhaps Richt needs help or a second set of (quality) eyes?
2. Richt, when he came to us, watched Kaaya and Malik his first year. After watching Malik (that year), why not bring in a grad transfer? I don't blame Richt in year 1 for going with what he has (Kaaya and Malik). Why not bring in someone after that year (if not prior)? But after year 2, why are you going with the same guy? Is he better? Or is Malik is who he is at this point?
3. The coaches get the credit/blame for the results. They also get the credit/blame for the decisions they make.
