Exactly. He has 8 months to get this turned around and it isn't like we have no talent. The minimum is 10 wins and playing in the ACC ship.

So he's got 8 months to beat fsu and notre Dame (on the road) and if he slips up elsewhere he's a failure as a coach... Hmm smh
We don't have championship talent.
Don't get me wrong.. I have no doubt richt will get us to the Acc champ game and have us at 10 wins. But It's not the end of the world if we lose to a unc or VA tech and finish with 9 wins his first year in my opinion.
The ACC will be much better next year with new coaches and our schedule gets harder.
Just becuase we finished 8-5 this year (should be 7-6 becuase knee was down on Duke return) doesn't mean we're automatically 11-1 with a new coach (although I hope and I know we will be soon). I just know already richt is going to get too much crap unnecessarily from this fan base the second we lose a game

Like clockwork, the same soft-*** fans/ex-Golden slurpers trying to lower the expectations for next season.
A coach who is getting paid $4 million and pretty much given a blank check to write for his staff should be expected to win 10 games and the Coastal at minimum. We are paying him that much because he is supposed to be good, not because he needs all of this time.

FSU, Notre Dame, and UNC
Those are the hardest games next year, two of which (FSU and UNC) are at home.
If Richt manages to drop ALL 3 of those, then people should be concerned. A coach that is getting paid 4+ million must be better than that. I also don't expect Richt to continue the trend of losing to ACC teams that we should beat, so again, I'm not seeing how 10 wins is unreasonable at all.
That one comment shows me how soft shouldered you really are. Either you didn't watch the dook game, or are clueless as to what went down in the 4th quarter. WE never should have had to have a highlight reel return to win that game. Then again, you were slurping our former HC for a very longtime.

I'm not a golden slurper and never was. I'm a realist.
First I agree ten wins with bowl game... I'll say for me (since it's opinion based and no point to argue too much on that) 9-3 regular season would be my minimum before being concerned unless kaaya went down. With a birth in tbe acc champ game and a bowl win making it 10
So if you were including the bowl win when You said ten games then we agree, if not..
We got our *** kicked by unc and was down 52-7 going into the fourth quarter. We lost to Clemson 58-0. We got man handled up front by Washington state, Florida state, and cincy. We're not the best team in the Acc and just missing coaching. We were a average team with bad coaching.
The team is out of shape and has no heart. They gave up way too **** easy this year.
I expect him to be in the Acc champ game too but 10 wins first year is not the minimum for me. I think 9-3 regular season would be minimum in my opinion. With a bowl win or acc champ game making it 10
We should be in the fsu game and notre Dame game. We won't be favored in either. As a fan we expect wins but as a realist I understand, Hey if we lose one or both on a field goal then I'm not going to fly a banner for the guy. He's a much better coach this year and I doubt we will lose to any team worse than us but VT and unc are not bad teams, we should win those but I don't think richt is a failure if we drop one was all I was saying

Richt doesn't need to rebuild and I'm not exactly expecting an ACC Championship, but I expect improvement from this year to next in all facets of the game. We've got some deficiencies that need to be coached up and we need an infusion of some talent (or guys that need to step up) at key spots along the OL and DL before we can compete with the big boys. Also, we need to develop some better defensive back play. Lots of lazy, undisciplined play by the group during the time Golden was here.
Needless to say, the team needs a lot of work in the weight room, as well, especially along the OL.

LOL at the thought of it taking 2 years to get this ship right when we're in the worst P5 division in the worst P5 conference. Win that **** next year. You'll have a top 5 QB and tons of returning talent.

You're tripping. I'm not saying he can't get that many wins, but to say that's the expectation is kinda crazy. How long has it been since we won 10 games in a season? And y'all just expect him to change everything overnights? At least give the guy until next season before you start calling for championships. And we actually don't have as much talent as you think we do. We are barely more talented than other ACC teams, and it's with guys Golden recruited and fattened up to fit his scheme. What Jim Harbaugh did shouldn't be the expectation, it's the best case scenario.

If we don't get deep into the NFL playoffs, Richt should be fired on the spot. Execution should follow within 5 days max.

I love the hire but we won't be ranked. First, Richt has to change the "deserve victory" culture. 10 or so kids need to be cut. The rest of the roster needs to be reprogrammed and taught how to play the right way. The first 3 years are going to be thought.
NO, you're tripping. My expectations don't change just because we had 3 horrid hires. We are still the U. We had the talent to win 10 games this year with an average staff. We are upgrading beyond that. Take your soft shoulder BS and hit the road... We are going old school. None of this pansy *** crap anymore.

always a lot of talk but you never add anything meaningful to the board. You just go around hoping coaches fail and claiming anyone who speaks reason is a "slurper" or "soft shouldered"
you're right. There were two terrible PI calls in that Duke game and it was questionable if the Duke player ever even crossed the goal line so we shouldn;t have been in that situation to have to have that miracle play...but we were.. AGAINST DUKE. We lost to them last year too.
so tell me something now..i'm "soft shouldered" but you're the one making excuses trying to justify our win against ******* duke of all teams. DUKE. Are we not miami anymore because we lose/miraculously beat teams like duke? I certainly don't remember the old miami teams of the early 2000's losing to Duke or fans making excuses for wins over ****** teams. Seems a little "soft shouldered" to me.
I never was a "slurper". did I believe after we won 9 games that we were going in at least a positive direction under him? yes we had a shot at 10 wins for the first time in more than a decade. Was I completely sold? no because we got our asses kicked by FSU, Duke and Vt three weeks in a row but was still hoping for that 10th win. However I gave up on golden right when I watched us get our asses kicked by Louisville in person in the russell athletic bowl in the next game.
Just because I'm not living in 2001 doesn't mean i'm soft shouldered. It just means I know what the realistic expectiations are. I choose to take that route over your doom and gloom "10 wins and championship or else" mentality. Maybe I lost that mentality because we have been a ****** program for 15 years. Maybe I've realized we've never won an acc championship, much less played for one.
Do I expect more? of course, thats why richt needs to be successful,win acc championships and take us to the playoff. But it's moronic to not accept improvement when we've had absolute **** play the last 15 years

Dudes trippin. Yeah I expect Richt to win us ACC championships and Orange bowls...eventually. **** I wouldn't say 10 wins year 2 is all that crazy. But to say if we don't win 10 years year 1, Richt dissapointed, is just stupid and uninformed. There's a difference between what I hope will happen, what could happen, and what will most likely happen. I hope we make the Orange bowl. I think it's possible we make the ACC championship game. Most likely we win 8-9 games in the regular season. This isn't just a small change that's being made, it's a complete 180 we need to make. Then again I'd say if we win 8-9 games, including beating FSU, I'd be satisfied. **** I'd rather win 9 games and one of them be FSU than win 10 and losing to FSU.

You're expectations don't change after over a decade of sucking and being in year 1 of a new HC, after our previous HC absolutely sucked. We had talented recruits under him. But he barely developed talent, taught them ****** schemes, implemented a loser mentality, and beefed them up. If you can't temper your expectations for 1 yr, you're just being ignorant
