For those defending Richt...

[MIATL]

I get that this is a terrible O line and that Richt needs time to get "his" players in to run the system he wants to run. I get that Kayaa isn't helping matters. That said, this is virtually the same personnel as last year's team which performed better under CoRch Coley's Check with Me system. With the players being a constant, why can't some on this board acknowledge the fact that Richt has not gotten the same level of achievement out of these players as Coley???

LOL... seriously clueless. You keep acting like this comparative logic is your only means of comprehension. Like you just cant understand how its not the same team and and its not the same players. And they are not going up against the same players and they could have injuries or what not. Attitudes could be different. These dudes vaginas have been getting beat senseless every game sense the Clemson game. I imagine by now they cant even look Brad in the eye. I dont give a F why the reason is. These Olineman are absolutely horrible, our worst ever. If you cant see that or your in denial about what affect that has on any offense then your flat our blinded by bias. Add to that receivers who are dropping more passes and making dumb penalties and a QB who was scared shytless last year but this year got a concussion and his FN molar knocked out against FSU and you have an inept offense. Its not rocket surgery...

You dont have to act like your some type prognosticator that can see things no one else does. Its FN obvious. You can clearly get a sense for whats going on behind closed doors by watching the games, listening to the interviews and even Richt's comments about the offenses consistency before the big losing streak. The first three plays of last game says everything. I guarantee you that dude had those Olineman challenged to the max, probably knew those three plays were going to be run for days. Maximum effort, the best they had, against an avg dline and they crumble like little girls and lose yards. There is no happy bill brother... Bryant Mckinney aint walking thru that door for any games this season.

WTF are you talking about

they fail to remember that they didn't do anything against solid teams last year.

Did we do ok against the ones that were 2-5?

 

[KrazyCane]

wrong. The OL is giving up over 1 more sack a game than it did last year. Did we give up 9 sacks in any game last year?

So Brad Kaaya was sacked less last year and still was garbage... Got it

wrong again. He's been the 2nd best passer in the ACC since he got to college behind a starter (and #1 pick) in the NFL and another guy who will start in the league and will be a #1 overall pick

knock yourself out kiddo.

Is something wrong with u

 

[moshated305]

People actually thought this team was winning 10 games and was going to run through the Coastal LOL Lets Let's face facts, this team anywhere near Miami caliber talent wise and draft will prove that in the next 2 years. There isn't a single sure fire first round pick in the upperclass. Outside of Corn I dont see any upperclass player that even looks NFL ready.

I havent been the biggest fan if Richt's playcalling but that it's hard to ignore how bad that OL is and how underwhelming the QB and skill position players have played. Even on good play calls they find a way to see things up.

 

[BigDikCane]

This is the main problem.....

 

[robtorres34]

Forget this nonsense about "his" system...

He is a coach with 16 years experience and making $ 4 million this year as he whistles past the graveyard. He needs to adjust his philosophy to the players at hand.

The woes on this offense is his doing. We are much worse than last year. Every offensive snap is a challenge. This is not what you pay coaches at his level to produce.

I could understand if it was the D that was having struggles based on what NoD' had done over the last 5 seasons. Not the offense. It is totally on Richt starting with him hiring his son (who has no experience) as OC.

Harbaugh's staff at Michigan includes 8 coaches with NFL experience while Richt-doritos is the OC and his son is the qb coach. That tells the story of Miami football right now.

You're right... These O Linemen are awful and Kayaa can't run Richt's system. Now we can't run the ball and Kayaa is getting annihilated by sacks and pressures, self inflicted or not. Him and the O Line are the same. They're being asked to run a system that they are incapable of running. Different players will resolve that but in the interim it seems worse.

If Coley was in there running the same scrappy system as last year do you thnk that we would have won 1 or more of the games we lost?

 

[deleted3746]

CMR came through the door saying the team was too small and not fast enough.

Some claimed he was trying to manage expectations and give himself an excuse.

... But maybe he was just telling the truth?

... Maybe he's crystal clear on what his vision for this team is, and the current roster doesn't reflect that?

... And because this isn't a video game, where you can just change your offense in the settings; And what we run requires practice and repetition, he can't just scrap the offense he wants to run to cater to the current roster. Nor, should he.

He's running what he wants to run. He's putting it on film so that he can teach it to the team using Miami game film, instead of UGA film.

And though the offensive results are not close to being ideal, CMR is playing the long-game with this season and this team.

It doesn't mean he doesn't want to win every game. But he's not going to sacrifice what he wants the program to look like beyond 2017 for the sake of a few wins in 2016.

You may disagree with that decision ... But I think he's making the right call.

And, yeah ... Hes' gonna have to deal with the wrath of the message board crew until the offense does better. But I assume most reasonable fans get what he's doing, and understand it will probably take until next season or 2018 to bear fruit.

Also ... For folks citing VT and Justin Fuente as an example of what could/should be done in year 1 ... Folks in JUCO say Evans at QB is the closest things they've seen to Cam Newton. That kids fits Fuente's offense, perfectly, and it wouldn't look the same without him running it ... Which is why they played him against Pitt, and he only had 1 leg!

Let Richt get some guys that fit what he wants to do on O before deciding how good or bad he is at calling plays.

This.

I share these sentiments to the T.

I keep asking people to name the coordinators and coaches who could even turn this around in one off season.

No one names one. Outside of James Coley, who recruited these players and know them better than anyone.

Its the same guys saying Shaw should give up playcalling because Stanford is having a down year. Its absurd to scrap your entire identity/playbook for a few instawins, not to mention what it does to recruiting.

You don't need to sell your soul for wins. If these players had the right ethic and mentality instilled in them then the playcalling we've had would have sufficed.

There just too many mental miscues for me to blame playcalling.

Moar excuses for Richt.

5th place in the ACC coaRstal.

You had me all the way up to the Jon Rick reference. That's too easy an excuse and probably almost completely irrelevant. It all comes back to Rick Sr. and his "rust" (ie inability to be flexible or adapt) in his scheming and playcalling. It's not ALL on that either but a corch of his perceived caliber would have us with at least one less loss so far. It's kinda like how they say a good MLB manager wins you like 5 more games in a season. A "good" to elite college coach has no more than 3 losses at worst this year with this team.

 

[CTCANE]

I agree lets fire Richt after 8 games and pay him $4 mil a year on top of the $2 mil to Golden for the next 4 years. Now that's the way to run a program!

How dare you come in here with facts that doesn't fit their " our offense/team was great last year" narrative.

[Lutzboy247]

We lost 58-0 to Clemson, how exactly did he perform better?

 

[RVACane]

Not advocating that.

"Under Richt, Florida State had one of college football's most explosive offenses. In his seven years as offensive coordinator, the Seminoles ranked in the nation’s top five scoring offenses for five seasons, they were top twelve in total offense for five seasons, and top twelve in passing offense for five seasons. Richt coached two Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke. Richt coached a total of six FSU quarterbacks to the NFL, including Ward, Weinke, Brad Johnson (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Danny Kanell (New York Giants), Danny McManus (Kansas City Chiefs) and Peter Tom Willis (Chicago Bears). During this period, FSU won two national championships (1993 and 1999)"
The ************ can coach, ill give him time.

 

[Green5]

Adjusting to a system can often last a year. With that being said Richt hasn't done a very good job at adjusting his system to Golden's players.

Unfortunately he's not running that offense here, and he's not up in the booth calling the game either, which makes it much easier.

Funny thing is he took a guy equally as statuesque as Kaaya (Weinke) and did well with him.

 

[orange&green84]

A good start would be for Rix to be smart enough to quit playing Walton so much. When your HC can't see something that obvious that's no good.

That's probably my one real gripe with him. Yearby's clearly been more effective. That is something he definitely has more control of as Yearby can shake tackles at the 2nd level despite poor downfield blocking to a certain degree.
