The bowl game was painful to watch. When you recruit better than your opponent, you should beat your opponent, and that's especially true when you're playing them at home. They showed a graphic at one point where we have a boatload of 4 star guys on our team, and Wisconsin has something like 4.

Tip your cap to Chryst and Leonard. Chryst is low-key a top 5 HC in college football. They flat out took inferior material and beat us. They did a much better job than Rick and Diaz did.

They took a dude a kid Van Ginkel from Iowa Western, who nobody wanted, and turned him into a guy who was all over the field making huge football plays. Meanwhile, we have guys who are talking about going to the NFL early, and I don't think I saw them doing anything all night.

Our QB is bad, but so is theirs. You wouldn't have known it though watching the game. Diaz turned another bum QB into Joe Montana. For all the bathwater Diaz and his minions inhaled last year, he got worked this year. Switch jerseys for Rosier and Hornyfacquit, and they find a way to win with Rosier. And our fans would be killing Hornyfacquit the same way we are Rosier. Has anyone watched Benkert since he destroyed us? VT and Navy made him look like Kurt Benkert.

We are going to need to keep signing 4 and 5 stars, and I hope we tweak our staff a little. When we hired Rick some of us knew what we were getting. We were getting an excellent man, an experienced leader, and a proven 9 or 10 game winner. We needed a rock steady hire like him to right the ship that was pretty much sunken. Now, we need him to make some tweaks to his approach and his staff, and the 10th assistant will give him that chance.

We are a spread team, and we should be able to run the ball very well from the spread with the guys we have. That's not Rick's background though, and he could use a lot of help there. We need to hire an offensive whiz to help us with our spread rushing attack. The best in the business was Fart Briles. But he ran a rape house at Baylor, so there's no chance there. His son Kendall just set a bunch of records in 1 year at FAU, and he would DESTROY people with our talent. I know it's pie in the sky stuff because Rick might have too much ego, but I'd make a run at Kendall, and let him call plays.

Rick wants to coach, so he can coach the QBs full time. Let his son be the co-QB coach and learn the spread concepts under Briles. Then when Briles eventually moves on Jon can do what Rick probably intends for him to do--be the OC.

I'd tweak the D staff too. No need for 2 DB coaches, especially if they both have intern-level coaching experience. We need another monster recruiter on this staff. Can't afford to have a guy who only coaches CBs, if his CBs can't turn around and make plays on the football, and he can't recruit. You can't have your CBs getting worked by midget freshman WRs from Wisconsin. They lost their best WR too, but you wouldn't know it. His gig should depend on what we do with the AH 4.

They may have started out as 3 stars but it surely helps to have 10 of 11 seniors on defense. It's the approach Larranaga has perfected for the basketball team over the years. We have been successful in the ACC when he gets and retains older players wit h fewer stars. It is qhat I call the mid Major approach. Kill the opposition with experienced players. Wisconsin was the number 1 defense for a reason.

They could be 10 year seniors, it shouldn’t matter unless you’re severely out coached.

But but Richt has Rosier, how dare you think we should beat a team with far less talent at our home stadium.

You're supposed to write a paragraph making excuses for Richt and Diaz.

Fact is Richt is not a offensive guru, gurus make garbage qb's look decent , just because of their scheme. I could give Art Briles a trash can to play qb and he'd still put up good numbers and move the ball. That's what gurus do.

As for Diaz, his D made Wisconsins garbage , noodle arm look like Drew Bree's. But now our secondary is " awful , no talent". But a month ago he was getting sucked off for how well he's coached them up. And they've ended up being a really good group. Oh how times have changed.

If Richt is smart he's being in somebody to help with his offense. Brown and his son add nothing to scheming and he's been out of the oc game for a long time. Bringing in somebody with some new, fresh ideas would be smart.

Richt is a good coach but some act like he's beyond criticism , Diaz too. It's ok to call him out for obvious things.

There's definitely something to be said for experience, but they did a lot of damage with freshman WRs. And our D has a lot of experience too.

It's really a helluva model that Alvarez has built at Wisconsin. And he got himself a lifer in Chryst, who is committed to doing it the Wisconsin way and is the best HC they've had. He's really an excellent HC.

We were out coached , I don't know why that so hard for some to admit. We can just blame Rosier, just like Kayaa last year.

They gave Briles an actual trash can a couple years ago when he lost his top 3 or 4 QBs to injury. He took a WR and played him at QB against UNC in the bowl game, and they put up 600 yards rushing on UNC. I think that was the same UNC team that throttled us and that we couldn't move the ball on.
 
excellent post

always felt richt's success or failure here would depend on how honestly he evaluated his tenure at UGA especially his weaknesses

we need to shore up special teams too. We can and should do better returning kicks and punts and covering them better too. It'd be nice to block a fg too (weren't opposing kickers 100% on fg this year against us?!).

I know you and i have touted matt canada as an oc. briles would be wonderful too. shoring up db/cb play and adding a monster recruiter are necessary.

but it all boils down to how honest and accurate richt can self-appraise.
 
good coaches exploit your weaknesses

chryst found them in our defense and shredded us

and despite us putting up he 2nd best point total of anyone against UW this year (OSU* at 27 beat us) we left at least 10-13 points on the field and have been too predictable too often this year.
 
Our offense has to stop with the 3-4series in a row where we go 3&out. It seemed like we did it every game this year. It really wore our DL out down the stretch and it showed. Manny needs to look at his 3rd down calls and make some adjustments. There is a lot of room for improvement on both sides and specials. Bummed about the finish to the season, but it was a fun season altogether. Looking forward to a good QB competition this spring and the influx of new talent across the board.

Go Canes!

They should bring Art Briles in as offensive coordinator. He is one of the best and is unemployed.
 
Coach Diaz is a bigger liability as our DC / LBs coRch than Coach Richt is as our OC / play caller.

A majority of Miami fans dont want to hear that Richt/Diaz were out schemed and out coached.

These same fans also dont want to hear Wisconsin has less talent than Miami.

They want Rosier to be the scapegoat. Blame the refs, blame the depth, blame inexperience.

We scored enough points to win... Rosier is a terrible qb, Richts play calling is still a thing, but this loss is 100% on Diaz.
 
Year 1 with Richt we had bad losses.

Year 2 with Richt we had bad losses.

That isnt all on Kaaka or Rosier, or whatever excuse people want to come up with. It's ok to hold a guy nearing 20 years as a CEO accountable.

Yep, draws flak for saying that.
Here's the thing, better and more seasoned players may allow us to run better schemes...and/or make the current ones work better.
That's why some stress a bit of patience, 2yrs is relatively short.
