Jimmy Johnson on richt calling plays

His last OC hire in 2015 was Brian Schottenheimer, whom he chose because Schottenheimer also didn't believe in a modern uptempo spread. Rick is likely going to hire another bad one.

Schottenheimer has done a good job with the Seahawks this year.

Lincoln Riley and Mike Leach are HCs who have no issues calling plays and running effective offense. Riley is considered by some to be the most creative offensive coach on the planet. Richt's issue is that he's an awful OC and being the HC doesn't change that.

The most proven pathway to success at any level of football now is to have a progressive OC who gives his players a consistent schematic advantage. Miami's next HC hire absolutely should be a guy who calls his own plays - to prevent turnover at the OC position - or at least someone who has a philosophical vision for what the offense would look like. We can't know for certain but I'm confident Diaz would be a good evaluator of OC candidates because he would presumably seek the same aggressive, progressive qualities he has while considering what style of offense is most challenging for him to defend (clearly modern power spread imo).

If he could call plays worth a ****, this wouldn't be an issue, but since he can't he definitely needs to give it up.

I'd much rather he just resign or be fired.

Mork fancies himself as a play calling OC. Which high school team would hire him for that position? Perhaps we can make a trade?

I luv what jimmy had to say, but not to many people were complaining about coach richt's play calling when kaaya was qb'ing, or against V-tech or notre shame. We all know what jimmy represents and means to this program, i would agree with jimmy if the talent was here, but i dont care who the oc is, with the make shift o-line we have it reminds me of when jimmy was coaching the dolphins and the offense looked damyum near the same and that's with an oc, just didnt have the talent on offense but put together an elite defense though:

Yes tf we were. The problem was, ppl blamed Kaaya saying he wasn’t equipped to run the RPO b/c he can’t run. So the excuse, just wait til Richt gets his running QB and he’ll be just like Charlie Ward in this offense, u watch.

Then Rosier started 10-0 and then **** near everybody chitted on Kaaya, saying he was the problem. Little did anyone realize the offense wasn’t that great; they focused on the 10-0 record...and wouldn’t u know, Pitt did what VT did; they focused on taking away the run and making Rosier pass the ball. BOOOOOM! Offense exposed and Richt’s time as a player caller has been on a BBQ ever since.

We so dumb.:rolleyes:
 
Yeah, I think a man whos won a national championship and super bowls might know what the **** hes talking about.

The defense is good enough. Could be better, but **** it its good enough.

We are not winning games right now because we aren't scoring points.

FIX IT.

100% agreed , never liked Cowboys till he was Coach once Jerry lost his mind and let JJ go
stopped rooting for Cowboys. same situation as B.Davis leaving keys to the car to Coker
JJ left them to Switzer.....

You really aren't helping your argument with what you said. So he only went to those jet sweeps because he didn't want to throw it in the hard rain? So an offensive coordinator has the jet sweep in his playbook, but DOESN'T ever use it when it can actually be effective, and instead decides to use it MULTIPLE TIMES in one game when the weather/field conditions neutralize the effectiveness of such a play? Why bother calling it in those conditions when they are running in a sloppy field through 2 inch deep water? Might as well just call a run up the middle like we always do, since trying to run outside on a jet sweep, and cut up field in those field conditions is 10x harder. Our young receivers are quite capable of running 4 yard curl routes or comebacks on 3rd and 4....FAR higher likelihood of success than having them run down the sideline 25 yards downfield to catch a jump ball....when only a few yards are needed for the first down.

Listen, let me be clear, im not saying whether it was smart or not to run those jet sweeps, but when you look at those qb stats, any oc will run out of options real quick. Also to run effective jet sweeps you need decent widereceiver and left/right tackle blocking and the tightend, right now we have neither consistently, but scaife to his credit played alot closer to his potential saturday. Come next year barring health, this o-line will be a more physical run blocking team, because the young guns behind them are more physical. Next year we should start seeing better blocking from our receivers closer to what we saw the first year under coach richt. The one thing i know about coach richt is this, he is a rhythm player caller, once he gets in a zone, its a thing of beauty, but when he calls play after play, that doesnt work, he gets stuck cause he uses certain plays to set up other plays. Without a legit running game, you can throw his whole playbook in the trash, and to have qb's that dont work hard enuff to master this system hurts it to.

You dont luck up into coaching 2 heisman qb's and having a 3rd possible one. You go back and look at the clemson game from last year and you'll understand coach richt's mindset better, its other games too, but that one in particular, coach richt could careless who the opponent is, he gone call the plays to go at them everytime.

All ill say is, how did pitt do what V-tech did, rosier actually hit on big plays against V-tech. The thing rosier didnt do was connect on wide open receivers against pitt. Than against clemson, he missed a wide open jt4 to strike back right away. Than in the bowl game, if you watched that game, rosier made his mistakes but he was on the money with several throws but obvious pass interferences werent called, not to mention how much holding wisconsin was allowed to do on our defensive ends and d-linemen when they were on offense. Against pitt, rosier was trash, against wisconsin, he did enuff to be apart of winning that game, we got cheated.
 
The fact that it's a surprise to some folks is the really funny part to me.

Forget about football. In ANY walk of life....why would you EVER hire someone who failed at their previous job due to a LACK OF PERFORMANCE?

This is isn't rocket science. Many of us HATED the hire from day 1 and for this very reason. Georgia is a bigger school than Miami in sheer size and alumni base, and therefore are always going to have greater resources. Yet despite those resources, the man couldn't get the job done at Georgia and was FIRST REMOVED AS THE OC, and then FIRED AS THE HEAD COACH.

I know this has all been re-hashed a million times but it's just SO frustrating. We honestly have THE biggest cast of morons running our athletic department in the whole country. I remember that smug look on Blake James face when he announced the Richt hiring acting like he just outsmarted the world by picking up someone else's garbage.

And therein lies the main issue. The morons are fully capable of going out and making ANOTHER bad hire once Richt eventually departs. It's depressing, no other way to put it.

This year, what many dont seem to understand is, we basically started off with a brand new offense. Left tackle, brand new for louis, Jahir jones brand new starting left guard(and the robert knowles of the o-line), gauthier, steady, hayden "skates" mahoney brand new, navaughn "never play tackle again left or right" donaldson, brand new, so we had basically 4 starters o the o-line playing new positions, red flag #1, but good job by coach searels piecing that together. So irvin goes down than polendey, now we got 2 True freshmen starting at tightend, than we go to receiver, Ahmon is out somewhere during the first game, now we got hightower in there somewhere, jt4, cager and harley, of course no one has replaced the production of Ahmon or berrios, jt4 is doing decent but he still needs to work on all his routes, no way he shouldnt be getting better separation o a 10yrd up and out route, he let that UVA defender stay in his hip pocket on the intermediate routes. So now, when people want to really understand what's going on with the offense, this should make it clear to them, if not, they just have a long ways to go to understand football, basically 7starters on offense playing brand new positions than you throw in on top of all that, mediocre qb play, this has to be one of coach searels, dugans an richt's hardest but best coaching jobs. But watch what starts happening as the talent develops. And once payton gets here, look out.

You don't understand ****. Everytime you post something like this it is either wrong or painfully obvious. You tried to call your self an elite O line evaluator because after FLowers freshman year you said he would start. Anyone with half a brain knew he would start his sophomore season.

Laughable. He was 11/26 for 203 yards with 1 TD and 3 Ints. Stop with the cheating theory too. Wisconsin was the better team and closed as 6.5 point favorites at UM's home stadium.
