You "the coaches can do no wrong" morons never learn. Destroy all the players on the team to protect your beloved coach just like you did to our defensive players the last 4 years.
Rick stunk it up against a bad FSU team. Hopefully, he's much smarter and more honest about his performance than you dolts are.
Hopefully, he sits down with Kaaya and asks him to tell him honestly what he feels most comfortable and sharpest doing. Then he tailors an offense around that skill set.
This RPO **** is obviously not Kaaya's strong suit. He looks slow and tentative running it. Completely unnatural looking. He's not a guy you ask to put the ball in the RBs belly and read the DE. He doesn't seem to process that info quickly enough, and the offense is disjointed as a result.
Then, you suddenly switched to Power I where he's under center and doing something completely different. It's too much, and it's unnecessary. Get in the gun. Spread em out all over the field and do what Kaaya does best. Play pitch and catch. Get in a rhythm. And gash them with quick hitting runs when the numbers favor it.
Kaaya was better under sorry *** Coley. Let that sink in.
Rick needs to honestly assess the situation and fix it. No more of this "we dialed it up, but the guys didn't execute" **** that we've been hearing around here forever.
It's his job to get the most out of guys, and he's not even coming close. So he should scrap that stupid RPO **** because Kaaya doesn't run it well, and he looks like he's paralyzed in thought out there.
Alright, why is everything Golden did wrong somehow debited to Richt? Matter of fact why is ANYTHING Golden did debited to Richt? Because we're all a bunch of mopey, jilted lovers with the sad sadz? We got burned for ten years + by three hucksters and now we're so broken inside we can't take an L without losing our collective minds.
Fan base needs to grow up. There's no disproportionate lovefest going on. Richt cost us the game. The game man. Kaaya didn't help on a play or two, but it was all on Richt. Yet I can say Saturday night was the first time
he's made those mistakes and it's cost us a game. There's no reason to sit in a highchair, kicking and screaming "BUT IT FEELZ GOLDEN REAL GOLDEN MAN!" They're two separate men, with two vastly different approaches to the program. One represents the Miami of Old, penny pinching, slogan driven and wind bagging, while the other represents a modern approach to football and a financial investment to match.
I'm glad Richt tried RPOs and gave his QB the ability to think for himself, pick a poison. It failed. But down the line -- with another QB -- I hope it gets another shot because it can be very effective. I'm a bit surprised Kaaya is so bad at it (mind you, he was just decent enough against App to ***** this entire project up because
it looked like he could swing it). And now Richt says he's changing it. Fine. You can self scout bro, bravo. Just pick something that gets us wins and master it, because not figuring this out ahead of time cost us a game. A big game.
Herman
has nothing to do with Richt. Richt
has nothing to do with Golden. They should be judged on their own merits, and while I personally think Richt needs to let his dream ship of being an OC sink off the coast of Key West and hire a real play caller, I'm not going to equate him to Golden because my heart got a boo-boo.
The only people who should be beside themselves right now, lamenting the sins of their old flame, are the people who somehow deluded themselves into believing Richt was never going to make a critical mistake (or five) that cost us a game. I'm human so I get he cost us likely the most significant game of the season, but I knew who this guy was just like we all should've. He's pretty freaking good at times. Wonderful off the field. Not special on it.
I'm mad we lost. Have no reason to defend the guy. But I don't get the fever after one freaking loss to ignore everything else we've profited, or use the board as my bib whilst I froth and rage at the betrayal of my lover. Miami was a dumpster fire a year ago. We're not anymore. I'm happy about that. If Richt flames out in two years, that'll suck. But the program can't reverse course now and cancel the IPF or start paying head coaches 2.3 million dollars again. That's the first good thing Richt did that was so unlike Golden in every regard, and somewhat like Herman: change the mindset of UM, who was getting outspent by the Tobacco Road schools.
Now he needs to do another good thing: change what isn't working and win. Or retire early.
