Offense is garbage

The thing is this administration will put ZERO heat on Richt to go out and get a dedicated OC. He's got free reign to do whatever the F he wants.

At a school with a real AD and an administration that actually cared about football, he would have been forced to make that move already. See Georgia.

Lesson #1. When you interview for the HC job, tell them you want full control over the team, and if you ain't calling plays, you ain't coming.

Richt did exactly that. The day we get a dedicated play calling OC will be the day after Richt hangs it up.
 
This thread is garbage. Its only week 4. Some of you should hang up the keyboards for the year.

Here's the thing: There is absolutely no guarantee that Richt will take us to the promised land. But if all he does is bring our program into the 21 Century from our hellhole we were in and gets us to UGA's talent level and reaches his peak at 11-2 annually, I will tip my hat to him. Because then, we will have a much better shot of luring a top coach to carry us that last mile a la Kirby.

Think rationally, and let Richt take us as far as he can and quit your *****ing. We will come out of this in very good shape no matter what.

There are no words in the English language to express how much I disagree with every sylllable of this Don Bailey Jr. ***** *** nonsense.

"Richt is a trash play caller and needs to hire an OC!"

"Rosier is a trash QB that can't hit our WRs running wide open all over the field!"

The same 5 of 6 posters make these two claims every single day, multiple times per day, yet have not once stumbled upon the obvious contradiction in those two statements.

And there's idiots that don't realize both problems aren't mutually exclusive.

Richt the offensive coordinator sucks at his job

Richt the offensive coordinator is taking up all of Richt the head coaches time...not allowing him to properly evaluate talent, develop talent, and scour for alternatives. As a result, we're starting a quarterback that WAS RECRUITED BY AL GOLDEN during RICHT'S THIRD YEAR.

I'm not sure about all the handwringing here. I think that Richt is calling plays for the foreseeable future, but that he slowly moves into a more figurehead role once he's gotten Miami into the "we can expect to win double digit wins every season" consistency we've been lacking since the Coker tenure.

I mean...the guy will be 63 by the time his next extension expires. He's not going to want to have the grind at that stage in his career.

There's also a large assumption by a lot of posters in this thread that MR learned absolutely nothing from his UGA tenure. I don't think that's the case. He sees the need to develop quality assistants behind him and avoid stagnation. Right now, though, I think the need to call plays allows him to right the ship and get it steering on the course he wants it to go, and then slowly letting go of the reigns.

By the time of his next extension (if he gets there, which I hope he does because it means we're in a good place), I see him as serving as more of a Godfather/CEO type of role with the program. Just my two cents, though.
 
Keep bickering if you fellas want, but as far as I know there's a game tomorrow.

Get your heads right.

Go Canes.

I don't refer any team as "we" or "us" unless I have played for them. We sit in the stands while they play the game. They practice and get ready while the rest of us talk.

It's idiotic to put yourself on the team by saying we and us.

I call them Miami because that's how I speak. Just like I call the Yankees the Yankees when I discuss them.

Stop. You're full of &hit and we all know it. You could have at least admitted that you are an LSU lurker who cannot get the U off your mind.

We are not even rivals, and technically we root for you each year to kick the &hit out of UFag.

But carry on with your shtick, though...

So Stephen Hawking, tell us what Richt should do and more importantly what he should have done. You've got all the answers. Or you've got more pointless *****ing to bestow upon us. Please share more. I'm so enlightened.

Ok, then who is this "we" that you're referring to in your username?

I see where you're coming from and the point you're trying to make...you have high expectations for this program such as myself. Some will only see your gripe as complaining bc they're not wired the same as you. You're not a casual fan, you're a football fan that watches the mexchanics of a qb, the vision and aggression of a rb, the precision of a route by receivers, the footwork and strength of the oL, and so on. They only see results of plays and/or games, not the cause and effects of them. But they're fans too, and you have to understand there will be feedback even if it's constructive criticism.

True fans can be dedicated as any and still identify flaws and voice their differences amongst the fanbase. It would be different if we are venting to other team's fans the concerns and issues we have with the staff, scheme and players. We share it with what suppose to be family. If you can't discuss it with fam then you have bigger issues.

I do think the program as a whole(crootin, facilities, culture) is in a better place with CMR; however, i to feel we would be better served with Richt's primary focus on steering the ship from the top deck and hiring a competent and updated OC.

A youth football coach shared with me the reason he was so successful and recognized as one of the greats in the area was because his primary focus was on solid coaching and development of his staff. The teams and players strived bc the staff was on top of their game and held accountable.

Fair post.

I'll just say I have SERIOUS concerns with regards to Richt's ability to "solidly coach and develop his staff" when he's focused on calling plays, which he isn't especially good at.

Segregation of duties and misallocation of resources. Those are my gripes and I stand by them. This board has been infested by millenial excuse making machines that don't feel this program should be held to a higher standard....and the day I resign myself to feeling that way is the day I stop rooting for this program. We are blessed to be located in THE most fertile recruiting ground in the United States and have a roster loaded with talent. The perpetual underachieving is something I'm NEVER going to be ok with .

It's fair to hold Richt to a higher standard in year 3. I just don't see the offense being any better today than it was 3 years ago when Coley (who was horrible) was here.

Exactly. No one is hoping to never win a National Title and Richt sure as heck isn't TRYING to lose before getting to the top.

This Saturday, last saturday, and the saturday before that mean absolutely nothing. I don't care what stats his offense puts up against St Brendan's, St Theresa, and Lourdes Academy. The fact of the matter is that in any one given year there are only 3,4, or at most 5 games that "matter" on the schedule and Richt's offense face planted in the only meaningful one we've played thus far this year. It's his THIRD year here and the offensive scheme and execution are no better than when he first got here. Richt the recruiter/developer has also failed at his job due to the fact we don't have a live body on the roster that can beat out the holdever QB that AL Golden recruited.

He's a garbage play caller, plain and simple. I don't mind him as a head coach / figurehead but his insistence on continuing to call plays is hurting this team from top to bottom. He should spend more time guiding this team from a higher altitude as opposed to being mired in the muck of weekly offensive gameplanning and play calling.

You said it much more direct than I want to right now, but I agree with this. Richt calls plays like he's playing NCAA 14 (RIP).

We've had four games that matter in the last six...Pitt to finish the year undefeated, Clemson in the ACC Championship, Wisconsin in a premier Bowl Game, and LSU to kickoff the season OOC and this team has faceplanted in part because of the offense. Every nitpick and criticism of a player, etc...all it it funnels right up to Richt. QB. Playcalling. Development. Recruiting and talent. All on him.

We are at the point where things on the forums are going to get toxic. You got some people seeing Richt as the at-best B+ coach that he is and feeling that isn't good enough and you got the hero worshippers that are going to come out in full force to support the guy.

I'm just not cool with being a B+ program. idk about y'all.
 
Hard to field an argument about what Jedi said, its all pretty much fact. We still have Vag T and Who to play though, I figure we go 500 there
 
Lol at stats thru 3 weeks. We got the doors blown off by LSU and have played 2 sub par opponents.

For the 3rd week in a row, we have a glorified practice.

Good or bad, stats from them are irrelevant.

Start keeping track of stats from the lsu game and then continue on vs unc and so on.

We’ll take the W’s sure...but drawing any knowledge from those ‘games’ stats is pointless.

Simple.

Make his life easier and hire AN EXPERIENCED, SEASONED OC. Read closely......I'M NOT SAYING PROMOTE HIS **** SON.

Richt giving up playcalling duties should , in theory, allow him to leverage all that experience he's amassed in his illustrious coaching career to manage all aspects of the team. The domino effect of freeing him up should improve recruiting, talent development, gameday planning, and pretty much every aspect of the team.

In short, it would keep him on a macro level which also just so happens to be what Georgia concluded when they stripped him of playcalling duties.

There's a fair reason for all of those losses though.

The Pitt one was painful, but we were on the back of 15 straight weeks of football with half of Al Golden's roster. I'd still expect to win that one, but that's why you play the games.

We're just not in Clemson's league. Nor, talent wise, are we in LSU's league at the moment - there are a couple of threads on here explaining why.

By the time we got to Wisconsin we didn't have any offensive weapons left - even then it took a few miraculous plays for Wisconsin to win that game.

I'm happy with the direction the progamme is heading. I'd like to get there quicker, but I've accepted that Richt and Diaz aren't play calling geniuses and we're going to need to stack the roster with talent to consistently win the ACC Coastal and compete against Clemson for the ACC title (which should be our aim every year - that's the gateway into the Playoffs). He's doing that.

The Clemson loss is the only loss of the bunch I could justify. It would have gotten ugly if Dabo didn't show us mercy by the end of the 2nd quarter.

Wisconsin and LSU are a result of undermanned lines and a terrible offensive gameplan/execution among other lesser reasons, IMO. Pitt was an embarrassing offensive display.
