We put up 50+ points and thoroughly dominated a Pitt team (to stop a 4 games skid where players didn't get it done in the crunch) that beat Clemson yesterday.
He's changed the protection, backed off the RPO, and is changing the identity of our football team for the better..
If we can kick a PAT, catch the easy passes, not hold on the backside of runs, pick up a fumble, or not make stupid personal foul penalties that negate PI calls and TFL... we'd have a better record. This level of correction exists at the player level. We need better players and more leaders. Enough of the Richt bashing 10 games into his tenure with AG players, he can't play the game for these kids.
Give him at least one recruiting class before you start ****ing the bed.
What do your eyes tell you that makes him average?
Do you know what Saban's record at Alabama was his first year?

The long passes on 3rd down aren't really on him...
On 3rd down & 5 early in the game when Kaaya threw that deep ball to Coley (who was being PI'd), Joku was actually wide open underneath on a crossing route... He even used the ref in the middle of the field to slip his defender & had plenty of running room.
Kaaya just plain didn't see him, he determined before the snap he was just going to launch it to Coley, luckily we got bailed out by an illegal hands to the face penalty. But that wasn't on Richt's play call, that was on Kaaya's decision making.
Same thing with that 3rd & short where he overthrew Joku in the end zone by 60 yards, he had open underneath routes that he just decided not to throw to.
There was also a 3rd & 2 in the game where he could've literally power walked his way to a 1st down, but he just couldn't process quick enough & got sacked.

You took the criticism, kept posting and it has made you a better writer and thinker. It takes some courage to be an OP so I appreciate you taking the heat and keeping the conversation going. Everyone should be allowed to grow and change. It's still a Canes Thing.

That first half from Bard was easily the worst of his career, and the worst QB play at Miami since the Wright/Freeman era. That was downright shocking to see such a high amount of missed throws and missed in the same fashion - always overthrowing the receiver. And he looked shaken too. Pathetic to see a Miami QB scared to death against UVA in front of all 25k of their Polo fans.
My only beef with Richt is that after 4-6 drives of Kaaya continuing to fail the plays he's been given, Richt kept shoving the same plays down his throat. Our passing offense shifted away from what worked against Pitt last week and instead resembled more of the play calling against VT. If it wasn't for UVA's inability to make a tackle on run defense this would've been a game that went down to the wire.

Brock this is my take. It's a little long, but I need to vent.
I'm glad we got the win, but I'm not going to pretend like there is much to take away from that game. The silver lining is that the most recent class has some legit ballers in it. Frankly, Virginia is a terrible team. Not even bad. They are terrible or at least they played a terrible game against us. With a QB who is not scared, the score should have been 28-0 at the half, easily. I want to be excited, but I'm more concerned than I am optimistic at this point.
Bradley's nerves have gotten worse not better. His fear of getting hit is affecting his decision making. There was a play in I believe the third of fourth quarter yesterday where he could have walked for the first down, he was literally almost at the sticks with nothing but green grass in front of him, and because of fear he panicked, became frantic, and sacked himself. You can't win against teams with a pulse with a QB like that AND everyone sees it - recruits, opponents, scouts, your teammates, the fans, even the commentators at the end of the game commented on his play. They however were not as candid as I am about the causes of his pedestrian performance. Appearances matter, especially in football. Gatorhatar posted that a recruit had said essentially the same thing about Kaaya. In that particular regard, the recruit didn't say anything that everyone else can clearly see - Brad is playing scared - really scared. And Brad is not the only QB that has this issue, Washington's QB last night caved completely against USC. He sacked himself when it mattered most, gave up a terrible INT, and a safety when the game was on the line; it happens. But when it happens repeatedly, that's when the coaches have to step in.
Apparently, no matter how Brad plays, Richt is going to stay with him. So Brad, again out of fear of getting hit, is comfortable in going with his pre-snap read and throwing a thirty yard pass into two deep coverage on third and short on our opponent's side of the field, rather than taking the check down for the easy first down. How many times have we seen that? He did the exact same play at a critical juncture in the 2nd quarter against fsu - forced a long pass to a double covered Coley when the entire center of the field was wide open.
To win at the level Canes want to win, your QB has to have more dog or fight in him. Maybe Brad has it and has lost it, but this season he's not showing it. He's got to be able to take shots - even big shots - and rather than cave in, elevate his game. On a football field there are any number of ways to get hits back. As a QB or playmaker you do it by hopping up and making plays. You show your opponent that your play isn't going to be impacted by what they do. Right now, we simply don't have that at the QB position, which is exactly why fsu's game plan was to intimidate Brad and it worked.
And yes, our OL is what it is, but there were multiple snaps on yesterday and earlier in the season where they gave him all day, and he still panicked and made his fears become a reality by running into a tackle and being sacked rather than making a play.
So why am I not optimistic? I'm not optimistic because the way that you fix this is to sit the player, make the player decide whether they want to watch the game or play the game. Sometimes it takes having something you love taken from you to get you to see your own faults. At the very least, it allows the player a chance to settle down. Obviously, that's a coaching decision, and if Richt was going to do that it would have been done long ago. So I fully expect to see the same type of fear-driven decision making out of our QB position through next season. The good news is that I honestly believe that fear will not be an issue with Allison. In fact, I think if anything he might be too confident.
And just to be clear, I'm not arguing that Rosier or the other QBs are more talented than Kaaya, but I would certainly at least see how they perform under the lights. I felt Rosier showed himself to be a reliable backup on the road at Duke last season. He wasn't some All American, but he wasn't scared either.

[MENTION=4841]The Franchise[/MENTION] believes Bobby Petrino is a "clearly superior" HC over Coach Richt based on resume lol... Makes excuses for Tom Hermans failure's at Houston, defends Brad Kaayas incompetency at the QB positon, while thinking he knows more than Coach Richt in how to run an elite cfb program....
lmao so in conclusion, I don't see why ppl think he knows anything about the subject of college football???

Im glad you started paying attention.
You were scaring me hopping on the "Richt needs an OC" train.

I still think he needs one, because it would make his job that much easier, but I know he's not going to hire one, so it is what it is...
Hiring another set of eyes would only help not hurt... But, again I already know it's not happening, so I've moved on.
Also, I resent that "paying attention" shot... Lol
I understand you're a genius, but just because someone has a difference of opinion doesn't mean they're not as informed as you.

He's probably made the decision to groom his son to be his OC in a few years just like he did with his other son Mike Bobo.

lolol shut up! I never said I was a genius. A-hole.
I just think its absurd to call for those things without giving the guy a year to implement his system and ideals.
I disagree on it helping and not hurting. A lot of coaches are ego maniacs, especially offensive coaches.
Richt hiring one good enough and humble enough to just " help out" would be **** near impossible.

4 times in 15 years and once in the past 8 years is not "plenty of times". There's a reason he was fired. He got complacent and was underachieving for a number of years.

You're right. He's been in the running once in 2012. The other times you referenced I don't recall UGA playing for a shot at a NC those two years.
I misread K9's question, and just assumed he was asking if Rick can win a NC here.
