I think coach Richt may actually have realized it's over

The gameplan & clock management are 2 of many pathetic issues with this team. Our coach still being emotionally vested to the point where he's close to tears is a good thing, not pathetic.

His own decision making is why he is crying.

Our admin refuses to pay the price to match our expectations.

It is not money that is holding us back; it is a group that is terrible at making decisions and handing over the control of the department to a competent individual.

At Miami we prefer to buyout our coaches, which cost more money.

I think his motivation is to set up his son as future OC....like his mentor, Bobby Bowden, did at Florida State.

This. If Richt was to quit, his son is axed and not picked up by any other P5 program. He'd be lucky to get a gig as an assistant QB coach somewhere in the Sunbelt. He is going to selfishly stay here and collect those massive pay checks while keeping his son on staff, a blatant display of nepotism.
 
LOL at the guy claiming Butch:

A) doesnt have to rebuild this program. Program is as dead as it was since the late 70s. its a disaster.

B) Butch would take this current team immediately to the playoffs 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t know if you’re trying to be funny, but he does look sick. I’ve been thinking that for awhile. The guy seems to have aged 20 years in the last 4 years.

Doesn't surprise me...I've seen it in others and I recognize it in myself...(I'm a lot older than Richt and he's just too calm...no fire, no passion).

He could lengthen his longevity and increase his effectiveness by not being stubborn and bringing in some help. Learn to delegate what he doesn't want to delegate.

Classic example of aging person who had no business doing what she tried to do was Hillary Clinton. It was obvious with her. She was a fraud on the American people in her attempt to foist upon them a person who claimed she was able to do the job when she wasn't.

At Richt's age I would expect more but who knows, we all age differently.

I was just amazed at the differences in offenses. I saw a BC offense that seemed wildly creative and unpredictable, and a UM offense that seemed limited to maybe the same half dozen plays. And notice the difference in the execution of the halfback pass?

What's with Richt's crib sheet? He's squinting at it to find the play? Why is it so scripted in such detail that the type was so small that he had trouble reading?

With that kind of detail and scripting, why does he need to call plays? Anyone could do it---take some monkey out of the UM med school research lab and let him point to some random spot on the cheat sheet.

I always thought a good play caller had instincts and could respond instantaneously to the situation....him squinting and hunting for the answer in that crib sheet ...I dunno what that says.

Agreed! People see the 30 for 30 and think Butch is a coaching god. He was not a good gameday coach. He was not a good "X's and O's" guy. Butch Davis's gift was talent evaluation in both players and coaches. And at that he was exceptional!

Still on the same thing. I'm calling you out as a fswho troll. Why don't your boy Willie vanilli hire richtirement as his OC. That way the chump can go back home. The only thing richtirement did as a Cane was hand Kelly his water and wash Bernie's jock strap. I'll only give him credit for being a ****** OC which always provided a big W for my Canes when we played his semenholes.
 
Enough ******* Baby Boomers.

Get some young blood in this program and quit chasing the past. Get an OC that knows how to draw up plays to get speed in space. Get a couple of guys who can actually recruit. This isn’t ******* rocket science.

Even if he did, I wouldn't call it pathetic, I would call it being human.

Every one of us, as we go through this thing called life, will ultimately realize something has passed us by. Whether that's in our personal lives or professional, eventually you just can't physically or mentally stay at the top of your game.

Mark is stellar human being. There is no question in my mind that him being a coach is more about the experience as well as being a mentor than it is about the money. It just so happens that he's also passionate about the sport and can do both.

He knows what they're doing right now isn't working. He's no less pleased than we are. If he could fall on a sword and save those around him, you better believe he'd do it. Again, that's the kind of man he is.

So had he cried, so be it. He's human, a **** good one at that, and while I want to be angry....I think I'll just be sad that his swan song in the sport doesn't look like it's going to have a happy ending. That's to bad for not only us, but Coach Richt even more.

Then he should recognize his limitations and consider bringing in some help where he doesn't want to and learn to delegate what he doesn't want to delegate.

Amazing how time changes perceptions and memories fade.

The only real savages we've had here at Miami were Schnelly JJ and Erickson to an extent.

Savages are feared....Schnelly and JJ were truly feared. I don't feel that other teams ever feared Butch.

While he did build the GOAT team ..that team wasn't feared until the following year... after he left ....and led themselves to the top.

That's a Crock of ****....

this whole fiasco lays at Blake james and BOT, B.Davis would have taken 2.0M and asked for more money for staff
Dan Mullen would have been a much better choice.
if Richt does some soul searching he will come to same conclusion.
massive staff overhaul on offensive side of ball\
painful to watch

It is the admin and the ADs. Look at how they make atrocious and illogical decisions. From coaches to unnecessary extensions, we love self-inflicted cancer.

I don't see how anything really changes until we bring in the right person to run the athletic department. This person must be passionate, competent and have autonomy.

Truth. Our last three coaching searches were **** shows. They promoted Randy Shannon even though he was part of the same regime that ran a perennial top 5 program into the ground. When Shannon was fired they settled on Golden, Edsall, and Trestman as their top three choices. Then they extended Golden after he went 6-6. Last time around they were allegedly prepared to hire Schiano if Richt turned us down. As much as a change is needed, I have zero confidence in this administration and AD to execute a competent search for the next HC.
