I posted this on an earlier thread, but it got buried and felt it worth mentioning in it's own post.

Let’s get something straight here about this whole “let’s hire a great OC” nonsense. A serious OC will want to bring his guys with him. He’ll want his position coaches teaching the players, not Richtirement’s slackers. Like Diaz he’ll want to hire/fire guys who he trusts. A good OC is not just some guy who will show up and wave his wand and poof we now don’t suck. It will require a complete overhaul of the offense. From the way they work out to the way they practice and study film, a good OC will want to micromanage the offense from top to bottom.
Hiring an OC just to call plays without having the power to make the offense "his". will not only have little effect on the offense, but I'd dare say a real offensive coordinator worth his grain of salt would turn the job down.

Will Richt be willing to allow this OC to do this? Keep in mind the first to be let go would likely be his son.

I highly dought it.

Meh...

There's always someone who's gonna want more money to do it, and a lot of smaller schools have capable guys that want to prove themselves. You are right though that it probably wont matter because MR is too busy skipping practices and generally not taking sh*t seriously enough for it to pay off. MR is more concerned with his own comfort than he is with winning football games. Furthermore, the last man in the country to realize Miami should hire an OC, probably isn't the best guy to pick the future OC.
 
Having total control of the offense is the key. A truly great OC knows that if he transformed the offense, he would look like a genius and get all the credit. He'd be the hottest name on staff and the talk of the college football world. Now if he's not good enough to do that, he'll go down with the ship.

That's exactly what the AD should be offering, but I'm not sure if that's the arrangement at Miami.

Exactly.

This needs to be repeated often.
 
Totally unrelated to this thread but Iowa state just ran a motion jet sweep except the WR stopped and came back across on a counter. Beautiful play. Richt could only dream of calling a play like that.
 
Saw this on Inside the U:
"If there is an OC hired to be functional it would in reality have to be someone Richt is comfortable with. For as long as Richt is head coach this would have to be true otherwise an independent OC who is not acceptable with Richt open the chance for real strife/conflict on the coaching staff."
"What real competent OC would take a job under those circumstances regardless of what James says or who he picks? "
"To me personally the real problem lies in picking a new coach and then would the present effective coaches on the staff "gel/mesh" with the new coach? "
"They have really gotten themselves into quite a situation at present."

It really shouldn't matter... If anyone in charge cares, the new OC should just come in and do his thing. All Richt should be doing is leading the program by having it prepared to the best of his ability. He should want big boy coaches at Miami. There lies the problem with Richt, he's not even CEO material. Next head coach please!
 
Should we go down the list of OC’s hired this offseason and of previous years that have cleaned out the other assistant coaches and brought in their guys? Please enlighten me

yes, but the OC will be playing against teams with an additional coaching spot. Jorn is basically wasting a spot so if the guy comes in he is already at a disadvantage compared to other programs. I doubt many OCs will risk future employment just to get a bit of extra cash for the few years Mork is still the HC. If he comes in and fails as an OC at Miami because of Jorn he is going to be back to position coach in no time.

If I were MR, I'd want to (win) bring in a great spread OC and see if my son could learn some things. Helfrich would have been perfect and maybe then Jorny boy might have some employable skills.

Richt views plays like that as the devils work and he will have none of it!
 
No OC worth anything is going to come here .... Richt is dead man walking... he will likely be gone by next year..

Every single staff member on offense is replaceable at this point. Dugans and Hartley have been good recruiters, but if getting a good OC means that they get asked to go elsewhere then so be it

They're all just gonna be gone when miami finally wakes up and fires mork anyways
