Is killing the offense, we averaged 3rd and 8 or so **** near all night because we couldn’t get positive yards after running it so much on the early downs. Richt has got to stop doing this and start calling more agressive plays on the early downs period because it’s killing the flow of the offense getting next to nothing due to those slow developing run plays even when the sh*t is clearly not working.

Agree. Aggressive to richt means verts and flag route. I rewatched the game and it seem like richt is calling predetermined rpo which doesn’t make sense. So that might be affecting the run game.
 
Richt’s offense does nothing well! I first thought we just had issues at QB and offense could get some identity with better QB play. I now think the issues are deeper than that. This offense should be able to put up better numbers with the skill position players we have. How the fk do you only get JT4 one touch the entire game? Seriously!,, The most talented receiver we have had in years and you can’t find a way to get him the football in open space? And we’re paying this guy 4 million a year! Inexcusable. This O is straight garbage and has been since Richt stepped in the door, no improvement what so ever!
 
Short pass plays have the same effect as running plays in shortening the distance needed on 3rd down.
If the line can't run block well enough, and can't pass block long enough, throw a bubble screen or two, throw it to the backs in the flats a couple times, get the WRs in motion and run a reverse or two, throw some quick slants, get some quick short throws to the TEs.
Running it or throwing deep DO NOT HAVE TO BE THE ONLY TWO OPTIONS.
If your lineman can't do something, don't make them. If your skill players don't have time to do something because the linemen don't give them time, do something different. Football isn't biochem. It's literally simple math.

about 65% of the downs, UVA gave us a 6 man box, which means man coverage most of the time. We were supposed to run the ball but we ran the most simplistic running plays and barely got any push.

Quote from Richt, it's the players fault apparently -

“We ran things we thought would succeed and they didn’t. And why they didn’t succeed, we’ll see. Most of the time when you look at the tape it’s a matter of somebody or a couple of guys not getting their job done, normally."

This is the extent of his playbook, he thinks he's being creative when he says this:

"We called plays where we took shots. We called plays just trying to run the ball — we had inside zone, outside zone, we ran counter."

It could be the players fault the first couple times, but if you keep calling a play that the players cant execute, whose fault then?

That post game was so hard to watch. Essentially saying it's the players not the scheme. Well Richt maybe draft up a scheme that won't completely crumble if one person misses an assignment. Richt being Richt man, he's always been stubborn and won't change. Didn't change for 15 years at Georgia, won't change now

It's like he never looked in the mirror and assessed why it is he got fired at Georgia and what he needs to do to improve. In fact, it seems that would have been an obvious question for the Miami media to have asked him, but everyone was so enamored with the hire they forgot to as him what he needs to change from his failure at Georgia. And it's clear now that he was a failure at Georgia considering what Kirby has done in three years.
 
Look at this quote from Richt:

When asked specifically about his choice of play calling in light of the sputtering offense, and whether he could be more aggressive, Richt said, “We called plays that we practiced all week, I know that. We called plays that we had faith in. We called plays that we thought we give us the best chance in all situations. We called plays where we took shots. We called plays just trying to run the ball"

These are the ramblings of a crazy man. He is not well.

Well yeah a little sabbatical would have been good for Richt. He was never able to look himself in the mirror. Jury is still out on Kirby. Yeah he did well last year with a team full of upper class men. Question is was it the team masking his coaching or is he actually a good coach. Next couple of years will tell.

"We called plays that we have faith in" tells me all I need to know considering how religious he is. His belief in his offense or in whether a play will work doesn't have to be supported by evidence on film, because faith. We'll never see a change as long as he's calling plays.

That’s Golden-level deflection right there. How many times did we hear Golden blame players missing assignments as an excuse for his buddy’s defense constantly getting rolled? Even if the scheme isn’t the problem, then who’s job is it to teach the players who to execute the plays and be prepared on game day? Who’s responsible for recruiting players that can’t run the plays? Tired of the excuses.
 
We have great RB's. I'm fine with wanting to run the ball. But it's his specific run concepts that we need to take a look at.

So if say you had Dan Marino running the options( yeah, I know, I know, but hear me out) and it continually gets stuffed - well, does Marino just have to execute better - along with everybody else?

That's Richt's 'logic'
