Richt has a point.....and offensive chemistry

My concern is if the current guys can't execute basic run/pass blocking what makes us think they can execute any other scheme like rollouts, motion, etc. It starts with the OL being less than average and that has to get fixed, won't happen this year, probably not next year either. We are in for one more year of average play until we have better OL personnel. Play calling is poor but that's not our top issue, probably OL, QB then play calling.

Of course they have to win matchups. No one is expecting Mark Richt, or any coach, to go out and out-scheme every team Miami plays to the tune of 50 points without breaking a sweat. We all know the OL isn't great, and we all know Rosier is awful.

But the literal definition of good coaching is adapting your scheme to your player's abilities. You don't just do the same things over and over and over again. You learn from your mistakes. The OL can't pass protect adequately for several seconds? Throw quick passes. You can't run the ball in the middle? Run misdirection. You have athletic advantages? Scheme up ways to get the ball to those players in space. Do. Something. Different.

Richt (and for some reason, a lot of people here) continue to say we should be able to line up and execute the simple, archaic offense and beat teams like UVA and BC. And I agree. But guess what? THEY'RE NOT DOING THAT! So how bout trying something different? Instead of just saying, "Hmmmm, this should work" and scratching your head while quizzically looking at your playsheet, do something different for Christ's sake.

The quick slants was an adjustment in the BC game then Malik forces one into double coverage. We probably ran that one too many times, but again I'm saying it is on the coaches to get the players executing the play calls, but the whole its the play calls crap is overblown

Actually he doesn’t have a point at all... just because we can line up our talent and beat people (which hasn’t actually proven true) doesn’t mean we should. Go watch Bama film, there’s nothing basic about their scheme and they could just out muscle anyone they want, **** that’s what they did for nicks first few years but he’s adapted, why can’t our coach? Is his way of doing things more proven than Sabans, who put his massive ridiculous ego aside at least enough to make improvements?

So you think Bama is running some type of complex scheme??

Quick slants were an adjustment?!?!?!!??!

Have a good day sir.
 
Richt supposedly got in a bidding war for Searels, think about that for a second. Our o-line has been s-hit for the third year in a row and Richt pushed for this offensive line coach. Enough of blaming the players for everything that is wrong with this team. It's year 3 and the improvements to the run blocking have been non-existent. I don't want to hear about "wait til he has his guys in there". The fact of the matter is they should already have their guys in there being that it's year 3. This should be a red flag that there is a clear problem with development happening in Coral Gables. This all goes without saying that they should have found more ways to scheme around the deficiencies to at least mask some of the problems.
 
Think of coaching in a fighting context. In fighting, you can take a 150 pound skinny kid who can’t bench press more than 145 pounds, and if he’s trained thoroughly in various fight disciplines, he can fairly easily take out a much bigger more athletic guy who doesn’t have training.

Same thing happens when inferior talent whips superior talent on a football field, as we’ve seen the last two games.

Look I'm disappointed in Richt also but he does have a point with the talent we have we should be able to run the most basic plays and beat teams like UVA and BC, the execution is still on the coaches to coach these guys up, but I think the play calling thing is blown out of proportion

I also saw the coaches talking about rotating too many guys and I think that's a good point also, I get we are loaded at WR but we should only play the top guys. How do you ever get into a rhythm playing multiple QB's and way too many receivers imo. Same thing with the oline. I hope I don't get killed for this post I'm not saying Richt should be O coordinator

Whichever way you cut it, I and the CIS board blame Richt.

Pick an option:
Switching QBs too soon
Rotating too many guys
Playcalling
Lack of preparation for LSU or BC
Lack of getting the ball to our top playmakers in JT4, DJ and Homer
OL play
ST play
QB play and development
Jon Richt hire

It all is on Richt, and that’s why I want him fired. I’ve seen enough

You’ve been brainwashed by guys who protect coaches by pointing out how players aren’t executing or winning matchups.

If you’re a HC in year 3, and your players still aren’t executing consistently, then you have failed. Good coaches get the players to execute and win matchups. Bad ones say the players aren’t executing.

On the 1st interception against BC Malik makes a protection adjustment which we didn't execute on and Malik gets blown up as the ball pops into the air and gets intercepted. Is that the play call??

I'm not saying it's the players fault, execution is definitely on the coaches to get the players in the right positions

I think the words complex and good are used too interchangeably.

For example, I don't think what Mullen is doing at UiF is groundbreaking, but look how many times he finds a RB the ball in space or a WR isolated on a LB. That's in year 1 with a leftover at QB.

Same can be said for Auburn and Malzan. Not every year is a banner year, but again, his guys are consistently in plus matchups. A lot of his stuff is single wing and wildcat concepts, not oberly complex but very creative.

Listen sweetheart. Just because you have a pretty dress on doesn't mean you can come in here and try and waffle around for 20 posts. Make up your mind.

Your man is a schlub btw. Solid top and solid bottom? C'mon girl! Get him right!

I'm just saying I think the play calling this is overrated. I honestly don't care if it's basic if we are more talented (and coached better) we should destroy these teams..we can complain about play calling going against Clemson and LSU they are more evenly matched talent wise. If we were winning matchups nobody would say anything about play calls we only notice it cause we aren't winning and scoring points

Ok, so he's the corch. Isn't it his duty to make sure the players are developing enough so they can execute properly. Also, why keep trotting out the guys who have a low level of execution? Grasping at straws for the sake of optimism is definitely feel good stuff. But is it reality?
 
I think most of it falls on OL play. Rosier will be gone next year but we still have a garbage OL coach in Searles. So if Richt doesn't man up and fire him (I dont think he will) then we are ***d!
