Jon Richt is one of the 9 coaches

[DaU83]

you'd think we give little richt the keys to the offense based on the responses..

 

[SFbayCane]

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

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.

Yet his staffs generated 145 wins in 15 years of playing in the SEC. Quite the dichotomy, wouldn't you say?

 

[DiegoCane]

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.

4 years of playcalling isn't experienced?

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.

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.

Again, where do people come up with this? I see it on the board all the time and it isn't true. Richt is extremely loyal to the guys he hires.

Isn't the standard to win division titles, conference titles, and National Championships though?

I mean that is what I expect from Miami football or has the standard officially been lowered?


I think ERict goes a little overboard but his posts are usually based on facts.

And how many SEC championships? How many National championships? You realize the schedule they play at UGA every year is often easier than the one Miami plays?

Sadly the younger fans, the same dudes who slurped Golden for ages and wore tie-shirts to the games, have in fact lowered the bar. Dramatically. Dudes are extremely content with 9-3 every season.

Problem with hiring the coaches son is you know he will NEVER be fired

He can prove to be the worst coach on earth...and his dad will make excuses for him no matter what.

It's Al and Dorito all over again.

 

[rmcid]

We have to call it like it is, this is a very green staff. 3 first time college assistants in Richt, Banda, Rumph. Think Hartley has coached TEs 1 year and Brown has under 5 years experience.

A slurpers mentality:

Beard gets fired, "Yay we got rid of the inexperienced guys"
Jon Richt, Rumph, Banda, and Hartley get hired, "Yay we needed some young guys!"

Can't make it up. These folks are the most wishy washy bunch of fans I've ever seen. Gone soft just like the team.

Let's ban this term and leave it behind to the darkest time of our program and this site. We can try "blind faith," "naive," "groupie," "bootlicker," or any number of (less ****-erotic) terms. I hate anything that reminds me of the Golden era and the "slurper v. mopes" debate probably encapsulates it most and made this board a tough read for a while.

 

[The Franchise]

Of course he's a coach. Otherwise, they wouldn't have announced him being hired as a coach with the other 2 they announced him with.

Having said that, I don't care at this point. It's on Richt, Sr. If he's a strong HC, then he can have whoever he wants on his offensive staff. He needs guys who are going to work together and not against each other.

If he feels like he trusts these guys to work in one direction and to be strong recruiters, then I'm all in. He's calling plays and coaching QBs anyway, so I don't really give a **** about many of these offensive assistants as long as they recruit their pussies off and can teach the technique that Richt wants taught to make his offense hum.

Is the OL coach competent? Yes. All the other guys are just glorified recruiters who can teach what Richt wants taught. HCs always stick great recruiters at TE/RB/WR coach. This is the staff he wants. Either it works, or he'll make changes or get fired.

Jon Richt will not make or break this program.

My big issue is we could have used that spot on another defensive coach. With Richt handling the O, I don't see the need for 5 offensive assistants.

Considering Diaz will have full control of the defense, having a staff of Kool (outstanding), Rumph, Banda is really light.

Slurper is a universal term for fans who dig their heels in to defend whoever the HC is, regardless of situation, simply bc he is the HC. It's a term that should continue exist, b/c it signifies how cult like folks can get even in the face of facts.

You realize the schedule they play at UGA every year is often easier than the one Miami plays?

https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/ranking/schedule-strength-by-other

2015 - Georgia 33, Miami 37
2014 - Georgia 14, Miami 35
2013 - Georgia 10, Miami 42
2012 - Georgia 15, Miami 44
2011 - Georgia 14, Miami 46
2010 - Georgia 19, Miami 23
2009 - Georgia 11, Miami 13
2008 - Georgia 15, Miami 33
2007 - Georgia 17, Miami 64
2006 - Georgia 32, Miami 55
2005 - Georgia 20, Miami 18
2004 - Georgia 21, Miami 2
2003 - Georgia 4, Miami 13

So...we went back THIRTEEN YEARS...and there were TWO of THIRTEEN YEARS where your statement above is true.

Shut the fvck up already!!!

EDIT - And not only did Georgia have a better SOS than Miami over that time span 11 of 13 years, but Richt's has MANY more wins than Miami coaches over that time span. I do not have time to do the math right now, but I'm guessing our coaches combined in that time did not win nearly as many games than Richt did.

So, Richt consistently wins more games against a tougher schedule than any coach we've had in 11 of the past 13 years.

Now that's a trend.

 

[KevinCaneFace]

Richt is planning on being much more involved than most HC's. He's coaching QB's, calling plays, yet still needs to roam around and observe other areas during practice. So he obviously needs an assistant. He chose one that he knows very well. It's not exciting but it allows us to have Mark Right as our QB coach and OC. Who would we find as position coaches better than him? Relax. This allows our coach to be more involved. Sure he could have found an assistant from outside the family, but most people look for assistants they are comfortable with and this is one he can even be more bossy with.

 

[ClevelandTNCane]

GA just hired Beamer's kid. He had to start somewhere. If it doesn't work it just means more work for Richt.

 

[Canezum5]

Art Briles hired his kid as a position coach a few years ago.

I don't really care what Richt does. Just win or the banners are coming.

Why are people worried about the sons of coaches?

These guys obviously spend their entire lives around football and the greatest minds in football.

I never worry about this type of stuff.

Im pretty sure Harbaugh has a cousin or lil bro on his staff at michigan too.

And hes most likely a **** good coach. Im willing to bet Jon is a decent coach too.

Yeah, let's worry about some Fullyshyt guy who didn't grow up in a football household but is really good at making up stuff.

 

[407cane]

He was an NFL assistant - not shocked that he's taking a coaching spot here.

Bills have like 200 assistants. This is pure gift at program's expense. Give the kid a job doing something else, something we are limited by rule in numbers. I am trying hard to stay excited about Mark, but this does not help and, except for Kool, the other hires are not that impressive. You tell me that nowhere in the country is there a coach who would take the job and would not benefit this program more than Jon? Mark should be getting the best 9 coached he can, not 8 plus his boy.

Lmao if you think we ride or die on his son being the qb coach.

Mark richt is known as being an excellent qb coach and oc. He will be heavily involved. Many coaches give their children jobs. If you're not excited about mark richt then that's fine but it should not be based on something so petty imo

As he should be (not disagreeing with you here). Not a good reputation as a Head Coach if you're continually lopping off Assistant coaches left and right.

ELITE head coaches rarely have to fire assistant because they make the correct hire the first time.

Richt has a spotty record on coaching hires. Will wait and see.

I believe in the traditional standard for UM football; "To compete for the national title every year." I'm hopeful that CMR will be able to do that in the near future.

 

[GaCane1213]

Richt did something similar when he hired Mike Bobo onto his original staff....Bobo learned the offense and how to call a game, years later, he was one of the best OCs in college football....this may work out...just going to have to wait and see
