Early Warning Signs

[CanesAreAble]

Troll or just plain stupid.

I can't decide.

 

[NVA CANE]

Can OP provide the names of the coaches he would have hired if he was Mark Richt?

 

[ghost2]

Mid-year firing usually equals holds the class together. Recruiting bumps typically happen the first full year with a staff.

 

[duke4heisman]

Don't forget Grohlden brought ol' Jethro from Temple too. What a clown.

 

[MIATL]

 

[weownfsu]

Troll or just plain stupid.

I can't decide.

Trying to be the smartest guy in the room.

When Al Golden first took over, he was a popular man. Anything was better than Shannon, they said. They called him "the don." "In Golden we trust."

"Al's got this."

But the early warning signs were there. Some of us caught on, and were quickly labeled "mopes" by those whose psyches can't handle the idea that we might not be headed on the right path.

For instance, Golden's assistant coaching hires were a red flag. Was the defensive coordinator from Temple really the best we could do? Was the DB coach from Temple the best? The culture fit was another question. And how well could he recruit?


I'm seeing some big red flags early in the Richt era, and I'm getting the same heat the first "mopes" that dared question Golden got

Look at the assistants Richt is hiring

The Diaz hire was a joke. Anyone being objective could tell you that. And now you've got a first time DB coach working with an extremely thin secondary.

Losing Bush, Howard and Burns is going be huge, and coaching at that spot is suspect to say the least. We'll be inexperienced at linebacker. So good chance this defense doesn't improve at all next season and maybe even gets worse

Our offensive line was the weakest unit on the field this year. We add no talent this recruiting class and we don't upgrade our coaching at that position either.

Our RB's are underwhelming, and there are no Dalvin Cooks, Sony Michels, Alex Collins', etc in this class. Our WR depth is thin and we don't have Miami speed at that position. Sam Beuce would be a great pickup but wil he stick?

I think you've got yourselves pumped up by the new coach and that's fine. In Richt we trust. Richt is the don.

I ain't doing it again. I'm gonna look at the facts realistically and the fact is we're still far behind our in state rivals both in terms of recruiting, facilities, coaching, and talent. Sucks but it's true guys.

Realistically, we have the third best staff in the Coastal this year, and maybe a top 5 incoming class in the ACC...no better. Results will reflect that reality

Well thanks for making it easy for me. I don't even see the point of supporting the program anymore. We hire one of the top coaches in the country over the past 10 years and some bozo with a gun as his avatar is trying to tell me how bleak things still are.

I like Richt, but it takes more than one man to get this thing rolling. Jimmy, Schnelly, Butch had great staffs. Clemson, OSU, Bama, FSU, Michigan, etc have great staffs

Our staff is average. And as great as Richt is, we haven't seen the recruiting bump we would've hoped for

Get this.... UF hired a nobody at Head Coach but they had a bigger early recruiting bump than we

wait what the **** are you talking about? mcelwain didn't land his 4 star+ recruits until february, and he took 2 of them from our dumpster fire.

Nobody knew who their assistant coaches were or if they would become "great staffs" when we hired them.

 

[mitchellorin]

Nearly everything you list is something out of Richt's control. Chill out. If any of these coaches don't work out, Richt has already shown he's willing to clean house (something golden could never bring himself to do).

Richt has won 145 games. You should just stfu comparing him to golden. Got get some *** and have a seat.

and who exactly did you want to be our coach?

Funny enough, I was the first one on the board to champion Richt. Long before Georgia fired him. You guys called me unrealistic and were calling for Fuentes/Herman, but to me Richt hire always made the most sense

I still like Richt, but I am calling things as I see them.

Maybe the BOT screwed him. We brag about spending $3m per year on assistants, while FSU spends $4m.

We had Aranda in the bag, but LSU is more committed to winning than we are. They spent the money, and THEY will reap the rewards. We had Corey Raymond in the bag, but LSU is more committed to investing in winning.

So once again Miami goes thrift shopping and gets sloppy seconds...and it WILL come back to bite us, just watch

If it happens again with the S&C coach....

 

[shayleon]

Just wasted 2 minutes of my life...

 

[CampHillCane]

Jimmy, Schnelly, Butch had great staffs.

Are you speaking about how great we all thought the staffs were AFTER they coached here? I'm not sure anyone looked at any of those early staffs and thought they were "great."

You are a lunatic.... He was hired December 5th and had 2 4star players Zach mccloud and pat bethel commit right before the dead period. Has a whole month left to recruit. You are acting if this guy doesn't annually bring in top 5 and top 10 classes. This is what he does....

Corey raymond was never in the bag. Raymond was never coming here. A lsu reporter said it was all about him just trying to get more money.

Where are all the Georgia commits that were gonna follow Richt and flip to Miami?

The fact that we haven't flipped a single 4/5 star kid from Georgia should concern everyone here

 

[Miami82]

OP makes FullyEricht sound positive...

The difference between the hires of golden and Richt is a divide as big as the grand canyon. So the comparison is very weak as you know.

There was a multitude of data to support why golden was a bad hire, you can't do that with Richt. Do some of his hires have some questions, most certainly. In this case we need to see how it plays out. As for recruiting he still has a month to bring in some nice croots.

Aranda also sees the lsu job as something that will be open next year and he'll have a shot at taking over.
