OC thread

Richt jr needs to be removed from on-field coaching slot.
Move him to front-office if necessary.
Heck, tell daddy that son can keep his salary, just get him off the coaching roster.
Nepotism destroys staffs.....it is a plague.
Look at Beamer@VT, Jay Paterno@PSU, Bowden@fsu,etc.

I don’t disagree with you. I just don’t think Richt will do that to his son.

And moving him to a less prominent role, combined with hiring a new OC, would probably give Richt the cover to keep the kid on staff.

But, again, I agree with you. Just don’t see him firing his kid.

Stop falling in love w the **** names. There are plenty of options out there.

Chip Kelly came from New Hampshire.

Tom Herman from Iowa State.

Ryan Day from an awful 49ers squad.

Lincoln Riley from East Carolina.

Chad Morris from Tulsa.

We just need somebody who knows wtf they are doing and actually game plans.

I agree and I would start with someone like Graham Harrell. Anyone out of the Leach coaching tree is a step in the right direction. I work with a guy who’s boss was Lincoln Riley at Texas Tech. Any of those guys is moving forward.

I get your point and you're right, Richt would not do this to his son.
My point is the school needs to do it for him.
That's how it's done in the SEC.
If the HC doesn't make the changes, someone over him will do it for him regardless of what
he thinks.
 
Mark Richt should be let go, IMO. He likes calling plays and he wouldn't enjoy it any other way. No reason to have him as CEO if he doesn't like it.

Regarding coaching changes....a real one in earnest....this would have to be an SEC-style makeover where
someone tells the d!ckless AD to waddle over to Richt's office and tell him he will fire coaches A, B, and C, and
will hire a new OC who will be allowed to bring whatever assistants he sees fit, and that he will "get help" in finding that OC
and coaches.
But that takes money and people who give a **** about excellence in football.
That's just not UM, unfortunately.

Yup and it takes a willingness (as you said money) to have a coach believe that you'd actually eat his buyout if he resists. And as you said too- that's just not UM.

Exactly. This is where you'd have to flex the muscle backed up by your wallet here if a coach is being ridiculously and obviously stubborn. Sadly, I'm sure the recent increases in spending on the staff is the limit they're willing to go on that front. They'll view it as not burning an investment in Rick whereas they should view it as proactively trying to save it by making his tenure actually work here.

That's the key word in college football: proactive.
You try to make changes even when you're winning.
You don't wait until things get bad like this season, because it gets harder to get good assistant coaches
the longer you wait.
Do you think a rising you talented coach will want to leave their current, presumably comfortable, situation
to work for a coach that is 1-2 years away from getting canned?
But this has been a problem at UM, especially with Coker and Golden.
This is more of a problem above Blake James than with the head coaches, IMO.

Assuming they're looking for an OC (which I doubt) I like Mike Yurcich from Oklahoma State.

This is why I'm not convinced an OC fixes things. Richt just isn't committed to winning.

It's why Pruitt was acting a **** fool at UGA. He saw a guy who ran his program like it was some kind of hobby.

So we get an OC, what's to stop Richt from making a boneheaded decision about who starts at qb? Or how we practice ?

This^^. Richt is not only a terrible OC but he’s a horrible head coach/CEO. A good HC/CEO doesn’t get an extra 15 practices and use only half of them when he should be developing players for the following season. A good HC/CEO who has the uncertainty at QB going into the following season doesn’t start Maleak who had already lost his job 2 games ago much less play him 3 quarters when he could be giving the young QB’s valuable playing time in preparation for UF next season. A good HC/CEO doesn’t allow Manny to call this game when he won’t be here next year and the guys who have never called a game before but will be doing so next season are already on the staff.

He has NO vision, no anticipation or foresight, no plan for the future. Having a bad season can happen to any coach but it’s what he has done with the opportunities to improve going forward that show he is the problem. Every time there is an opportunity to show he would make a good CEO type coach, he has failed miserably. He’s done and needs to go.

Another non-**** but very interesting name who has been brought up here before is the Princeton OC/QB coach, Sean Gleeson.

They were number 1 in scoring in FCS and number 3 in total offense this year. Last year they were second in passing offense and fourth in scoring and total offense.

He's only 35 years old but what he's been accomplishing in the FCS level is very impressive.

Princeton is nothing like Miami. Princeton kids are nothing like Miami kids. We need someone on offense like Manny Diaz was for defense - someone who gets the South Florida football culture and who can get tge most out of our local kids

Blake should fire him. Don’t let it be Mark’s choice.
