Jon Richt is one of the 9 coaches

[CanesSkins26]

I'm shocked the internet genius' on this board were unable to make the connection between a current WR coaching candidate and Jon Richt.

Hint....

2008 Clemson

Am I the only one who has no clue what the **** Foil is hinting at here???

Jon Richt and Napier were both at Clemson in 2008.

Interesting how many here don't think a successful coach's son on the coaching staff is a waste, I mean it's not like he grew up in football right?

So that makes him qualified to be on of 9 coaches on the U of Miami staff?

This staff is actually less experienced than the one we just kicked to the curb. They may end up all being little Belichicks in the future, but this is easily the most green staff we have hired here in a long, LONG time.

Can't argue it.

Good news is we have experienced play callers on both sides of the ball and both line coaches are very experienced. We need some experience IMO to help Richt gameplan on the offensive side. Whatever our thoughts on Diaz it's clearly going to be his show on defense.

Manny Diaz is not an experienced play caller. He has four total years calling plays in the P5. He's not inexperienced, but we didn't hire John Chavis here folks.

Dont care one way or another but how is it different than signing a high school coach. neither have experience ...

4 years of playcalling isn't experienced?

Straight and to the point. What the **** is your problem dude? Lol

Again, he is a 41 year old guy who fielded average defenses at MSU and UT, for a total of 4 years. No, that is not the kind of experience I would have wanted being given full control over that side of the ball.

I just hope this doesn't end up being a Frank/Shane Beamer deal where you have to deal with a great coach father keeping an average coach son around, and is basically teflon, guaranteed not to be fired.

FWIW most in the profession consider Shane Beamer to be a very solid coach.

I pretty much live in VT country. Their fans like him mostly because he's Beamer's son, but don't hold him up as this ace coach on their staff or anything. That's why I said "average".

Beamer was just hired by Smart to coach TEs at UGA

He's suggesting Bill Napier. He was QB coach then interim OC when Bowden got canned. I would love it if true but unfortunately Foil always posts like he knows what's up, but it turns out he's got no sauce.

I get u don't like him 4 years in P5 and 9 years as a DC is experienced.

 

[JimmyJohnsonsHair]

I'm taking a wait and see approach on JR but generally speaking these nepotism situations don't seem to end well. I remember Penn State fans absolutely hating JoePa's son who was the QB coach there for years.

It is, but it doesn't fit his agenda. What he left out, is the fact that he's been a DC for 9 years (10 if you count the partial season at Texas). 4+ years in P5 and the others at G5. He was also a four year position coach at an ACC school before that. It's not like we plucked him out of Miami Country Day.

 

[IndayArtHauz]

Lmao at the pearl clutching over weeRicht. Like staffs all across the country aren't populated with coaches who's primary advantage is they know somebody, or were employed by somebody, or went to school somewhere. That's how life is played, and it's not any worse because you can call it "nepotism" instead of "good ol boys". If you want a meritocracy, the ranks of major sports administrations is not where you'll find it. Even the players get ahead because of their name or bloodlines. We overvalue ex-players as coaches immensely, simply because they used to wear the uniform or excelled in the field. It's part of the gig in any sector of business, life and most assuredly sports.

ERr's point about greenness is fair on the surface. But you've got plenty of experience -- successful, experience -- at HC, DL, OL and DC. *Awaits hammer blow on Diaz being tabbed successful*. I think there's a balance overall, but gathered at two extremes: Richt, Searels, Diaz and Kul at one end, weeRicht, Banda, Hartley and Rumph at the other.

You know I agreed with you about Aranda but stop *****ing, he's our dc and if he sucks Richt will most likely cut him after the year. Chip Kelly had zero experience in big time football before being hired a oc at oregon. All it takes is one great defense and manny diaz can be talked about in the same breath as Chavis, Aranda etc. Miami wouldn't be a bad place to showcase that.

 

[GaCane1213]

Richt's first staff was kinda green....they did pretty okay.

 

[52CANES]

Its Richt's career and reputation on the line so he gets results or he'll get the full court ****storm.

Beamer was just hired by Smart to coach TEs at UGA

1) I plead full ignorance to that, I had not seen that mentioned in the news.

2) That just kind of furthers my point...I work with a TON of VT football fans who stay pretty plugged in, and they talk football with me quite often...and haven't mentioned "losing Shane Beamer to UGA" or anything. They're not heartbroken over losing him or anything because they haven't even brought it up.

So...if Kirby thinks highly of him...well, OK. I'm glad Kirby likes him. But overall, the VT fanbase I know of wasn't really upset that they lost him.

Either way...the rest of what I said about Jon Richt as a coach stands. He projects to be a pretty decent coach (albeit young/inexperienced), I just don't want to see him become a Teflon Don to Mark's Godfather. If he's not doing a good job, I want Mark to can him as quick if not quicker than any other coach. To boot...I hope he DOES do a great job and we don't have to worry about it.

What exactly did they do? They didn't win a championship. None of those guys really became much of anything as far as great coach either. Richt's tree is mighty light in the *** for a guy with 15 years as a HC. He's not had any good track record for hiring coaching talent.

They won 2 SEC titles and finished in the top 10 four years in a row
