The problem is, it’s not a binary one or the other argument.
More often than not elite talent wins out. But there are tons of elite level coaches that turn 2star talent into 4star production. And that’s why Saban has been so good, elite talent AND great coaches. And even then that still doesn’t guarantee a championship.
The talent level at Miami has increased exponentially each year since Richt has been here, BUT there has been enough questionable decisions by Richt on game days and coaching hires that keeps the gap between Bama OSU Clemson and Georgia obvious
Nova, you would fit right in at TexasTalent is a prerequisite to winning a national title, I think we can agree on that.
With Richt, he has no choice but to play the hand he has been dealt which means Rosier at QB and a subpar OL. I am the patient type. We will be a little better next year and a lot better going forward on a consistent basis.
You know, I normally give Rosier more credit than most around here--mainly because I believe he could be decent if our o-line was at least average, but one thing I think you're on to here is that Richt's offense would look much better with a better--or at least a taller-- QB. I think most of our apparent lack of creativity centers around Rosier's inability to see over the O-line on some routes. That's why we run so many outs, verts, skinny posts, and deep posts.Heck, I think the plays are there for an accurate QB. Let's start by benching Rosier and seeing what Richt's play calling looks like with a better QB. If no QB on the roster gets better results, it's no longer a QB issue, but a coaching issue.
I think back to when everyone wanted Larry Coker fired as OC. Then Kelly goes down and Dorsey tears it up. No one wanted Coker fired at the end of 2000, because his O looked pretty darn good with a better QB. Heck, Dorsey wasn't some amazing QB with other-worldly talent, he was just a guy that could make the throws he was asked to make, and pretty consistently. Rosier? The only thing he does consistently is kill drives.
