Jon Richt is one of the 9 coaches

[umhurricano]

Maybe it's confirmation bias but I can't think of any coaches sons who have failed as assistants. Most seem to make it to head coach pretty quickly where the record is mixed but none are people I wouldn't have taken as an up and coming position coach: Shane Beamer, Derek Dooley, skip holtz, lane kiffin, terry Bowden, and Mike Shula are a few that come to mind.

It seems like a safer bet to me than hiring a former player with no coaching experience. Coaching is a lot different than playing, especially behind the scenes.

Love how people making all types of excuses and reaching to defend what is a clear cut case of nepotism.

Do people actually believe he would be coaching anywhere if mark richt wasnt his daddy?

There is plenty of coaches out there who dont have fathers as coaches. So i'd say its believable...

Jay Paterno was a horrible QB coach at Penn State.

He's been an assistant for major college programs and NFL teams for a long time. The next step was position coach. It may not be an exciting hire but the guy hasn't been working at McDonald's for years. Richt wanted the QB's coached his way

Guess Jon Richt must have had a family member working for the Buffalo Bills too. No way a kid that's grown up his entire life raised by a high level coach and undoubtedly exposed to others that have also coached at an advanced level could have picked up anything useful towards developing his own coaching methodology. Impossible...

lmao excuse me? assistant what? cuz he has never been an assistant COACH. he was a fkin quality control assistant and a coaching assistant, none of those two jobs qualify as COACH.

and for a long time? where do you come up with this stuff? he was with his dad at UGA for like 1 year and he has only been at buffalo for one year. how does that qualify as a long time. man, stop reaching! he is a nobody and you are obviously biased lmao "assistant at major college programs and NFL teams for a long time" lmao where did you pull that info out of? your ***?

dont be stupid...you dont think he got that job bc of his daddy? mark richt coached at UGA for 15 years which means he has plenty of NFL connections (players and coaches)...no way in **** he gets that job if his last name isnt richt get real. man the slurpage in this thread is through the roof.

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.

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.

Definitely not as experienced as Dorito. Oh that's right Duhno sucked. Just offering a chuckle.

Yeah, because what coach wouldn't hire a guy who's been around head coaches at some of the highest levels all of his life..... right.....

Coaches kids will get jobs whether their fathers hire them or not.

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.

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.

The writing is on the wall. Richt is not doing what he needs to do to build a winning team IMO

Sucks but it's true. Mediocre to poor defensive staff, poor S&C staff, and a wasted spot on the offensive staff. No way we rise to Clemson and FSU level with this staff as it currently sits

 

[Gatorhater]

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

I don't care what coaching spot he gets, it is one of only 9 we are allowed. That is one more than we can afford to waste like this. Sure Mark is going to be the real QB coach. So use the spot somewhere else. 1/9 of our staff has just be used for a family member and you think that is okay? If it was just a scholarship that would be fine, those get wasted all the time but not a coaching position. If he wins a NC then all is fine.

I was wrong about the length of time he spent at Georgia but those are positions coaches hold BEFORE becoming a position coach. It's the natural order. Do you expect these guys to stay at their current positions forever? No he's been a staff assistant and now he's a position coach being trained by a good HC. If he does a good job he'll move up to being an OC. This isn't the end of the world. It's quite normal. Right can't devote the time he wants to QB coaching so he picked the guy that has been trained to his way of doing things.

so thats the qualifications now for being a major college football coach? "being around head coaches all my life" like i said stop reaching this isnt a tv show, we are talking FBS college football. you dont get hired just because "ive been around football all my life" (unless your the coach's son)

your happy with the hire? fine but lets call it what it is: nepotism. nobody else in the country would hire him to be a QB coach with his resume.

Oh yeah because, of course, you've been exposed to Jon Richt and have intimate knowledge of his coaching abilities to the point that you can determine whether or not he's qualified to be an assistant coach, right? So stupid. You have no idea what your talking about because you've never seen the guy coach a day in your life and would probably not have any idea what you were looking at even if you had. You're a habitual message board complainer (practiced in the art of b!tching about decisions you know little to nothing about), not a member of Korn Ferry. Stick to what you do best..

 

[CaneInTheBrain]

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.

Who says the dark times are over?
