Richt Not Interested In Miami

[tpres]

Shocker.

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone thought he would want this job.

U are correct.

 

[Jonnyblaze]

Totally understandable if he doesn't want to go from one pressure cooker job to another. He's done that for 15 years.

 

[caneworld]

I also heard that Georgia still owes him a couple more 4 million dollar pay checks. That's good reason to sit out.

For 2 more years on a an extn that was never signed...

 

[MIATL]

the Cavaliers appear to be deep in negotiations with Mike Sanford, a 33-year-old offensive coordinator at Notre Dame.

Thanks for the linked article.

I found the above quote interesting ...

 

[Sabetta]

He's not hungry. UGA broke him

 

[edge]

He would be considered for the Texas job next year.

 

[fxd5122]

They owe him 4.1 million that's it.

 

[TemplarCane]

He has staff read these boards. He didn't want a team with the dumbest fan base in America.

(sarcasm)

 

[kkinder94]

I bet he doesn't want to come due to dealing with another unreasonable fan base. People in Georgia let him go because this consistent 10 game winner couldn't win the NC. Miami fans will be no different. Even if he pulled 10 wins every year, we would fly banners if no NC. I imagine he gets tired of answering questions every week about being fired despite having a great record.

I would expect him to go to a school with a little less football tradition. Then if he improves the program, they will be happy as ****.

 

[TreOFive]

Completely expected.

He's getting a shyteload of money from Georgia for the next few seasons.

He'll probably take a cushy tv gig and take a couple years off from coaching. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he never coached again. He doesn't need the money.

Plus he and his family have been in Athens for 15 years.

while the thought of having Richt was exciting, I strongly felt it was a long shot because of some of what has been already stated (not hurting for $$$$, burnout, etc). Plus Athens is a great place (lived there for 4 years), moving from there to Miami would be a huge culture shock. Being that I am in my 40's, I would take Athens over Miami any day (I grew up in Dade county and would NEVER return other than to visit for a couple of days). $$ goes A LOT further in GA.

Also, I while I am not pleased at how they went about it, it seems they hiring Butch...look out CFB!!!!

 

[HurricaneU]

Decent coach. Doesn't really move the needle for me either way.

 

[SolidCane]

If true, only one more hurdle left.

 

[AutoCANE]

Here's the article:

https://www.dawgnation.com/football/team-news/richt-unlikely-to-jump-at-any-current-job-openings

Pretty thin reasoning if you ask me. Seems more like SEC cultists thinking they're the center of the universe by questioning why he'd even want to go elsewhere. You also lose credibility when you claim UVA would be the best fit.

I don't think richt will be coaching anywhere next year. I think he will be doing tv and missionary work.

I just read this...and this is complete conjecture and SEC-bias spin. They have the football coaching jobs ranked at the bottom...and, SHOCKER!!!! They have the 3 SEC openings ranked ahead of Miami. That's laughable. Georgia #1 - South Carolina #2 - Missouri #3 - Miami #4 .

That pretty much poo-poos any relevance of this article.

 

[the storm]

Wouldn't surprise me if he ended up at South Carolina.

 

[CTCANE]

Richt oin't coach in 2016, good chance he is done as a head coach.

 

[iLoveTDs]

Thank God

Ya I'd hate to have a qualified coach down in Coral Gables.

10 out of 14 seasons he's had 10+ wins. And Georgia's SOS is consistently in the top 20.

Ya, do not want

 

[BoroCane83]

Hes not interested in the HC position because he is going to be Butch's OC.

 

[daddacane]

Being reported by the ajc and a few other people that he has no interest in miami and is a good chance he sits out for 2016.

So how come he's interviewing today?
