Let’s Reason. Richt said the main reason that he came here was because he wanted to call plays again. With that said, replacing the OC as play-caller will not happen.

The Solution: Is to empower another coach if they are not already doing so (Richt Jr or Brown) even another member of the staff with the ability to see the field from the press box. From this vantage point they can assist Richt in the following ways:

• Breakdown film, run the scout defense at practice (since they know the most about our upcoming opponent's defense), and the OC and them develop each week's game plan.

• On game day, they sit in the box and have a headset link to the OC. They give him data about down, distance, field position, any defensive personnel changes, and what their defensive tendencies show.

• They will often suggest a play or two. As we run the play, they will identify the LB and DB reaction to motion, coverage schemes defenses used, and whether our receivers ran their routes correctly or blocked properly.

• They relay this info as the refs are untangling the pile and getting the ball set again. Oh, and They log every offensive play and result so that they can provide a tendency report at halftime so we can make adjustments.

He just picks a play. Ceremonial, indeed. Like we use the "Get Back Coach".

How do you know this doesn't already happen?

I mean, I'm thinking most every high school in the country does this ... So, why do you think a P5 program with a 15 year vet coach is out here calling the game like it's Playstation?
 
Ermon Lane played safety the whole 2nd half for FSU and we didn't go after him one time. If somebody was in the box they're blind!
 
Brown is the co-OC and helps Richt with the game plan. Follow me now, the last I saw was Richt and Brown standing on the sidelines together. In terms of P5; Where they do that at?

Most OCs sit upstairs, I believe, is that right? Do The ones at field level have a system like you're suggesting?
 
Rick had a bunch of staff fights toward the end at UGA. Maybe he wanted to avoid that and erred on the side of hiring an offensive staff comprised of amateurs and yes men.

The problem is now that the UM staff on offense might be a bunch of yes-men. That might be worse...
 
I don't know if any of you know anything about high performance race cars. You got to have the best parts on the market. That's an area that you have to constantly spend money on a regular basis. However, shopping at Auto Zone and Walmart for a transmission ain't gone cut it if you want to go fast. As bad as I want to race my car, I know that I can't shop at these places for the drive train because I know it won't hold up under these 900 cubic inches I'm throwing at it. Our OL (Drive Train) are like Auto Zone and Walmart parts. Hiring more coaches (Admins) is like adding another crew chief and it won't make a bit of difference because the problem is with the low quality moving parts. It's imperative that whoever is in the box have "power" to say the defense has adjusted to what we are doing; now we are going to do this. And Richt has to make the change to the game plan without that person being at risk of losing their job.

This is generally true except for one area and that's searles

it's one thing for the offense to be stagnant, on par with where they were last year if not slightly worse.. that can be attributed to kayaa being a dumb@ss and WRs dropping balls among other things.

but one thing that is sticking out like a sore thumb is how the offensive line with the same guys did a ***ing NOSEDIVE

one admin might need to take a hike this offseason

Yes, most every program utilizes the box like I am suggesting. However, I know that both Richt and Brown put together the game plan; at least one of them should be in the box because of the reason's above. When I go to games and see the games on TV; I'm SMDH like I see why you are calling the game they way you are because your not seeing the field.

Paksat,

I acknowledge what you are saying. However, that has more to do with techniques, concepts and principals matching with the packages or philosophy of what Richt is trying to get done on offense. This is something that can be corrected with blue print meetings with Richt and Searles; when designing and troubleshooting the offense. We can't deny that Searles knows what to do with an OL by his track record and the same is true with Richt. So the two of them have more work to do from a design perspective. When our OL was successful last year you could see the BIG WIDE Splits. Same is true with the offensive line this year but I think the wide splits (to narrow on edges) need to be at least 1 1/2 foot across the entire line like Kehoe used especially in the passing game. Compare below: Splits Matter!!! https://www.canesinsight.com/thread/richt-searel-leaves-streaky-lines/103725?highlight=too+richt

MIA vs FSU 2015: Kehoe Coached Line. QB Passed for 405 yrds. Kaaya completed more passes and threw for more yards than the Seminoles had allowed in the four games entering Saturday.

Pic#1-Notice how the wide splits space out the defense by taking away the outside speed rush angle from the DE.
MIA vs FSU 2015 Line Splits1.webp
Pic#2-Notice at the snap the OL is able to stay in front of the DL as they move up field.
MIA vs FSU 2015 Line Splits2.webp
Pic#3-Notice how the QB is able to step up in the pocket. And the T's are able to kick and ride the DE's around the QB.
MIA vs FSU 2015 Line Splits3.webp
Pic#4-Notice how even with DL coming off blocks the extra two yards make a difference with the QB being able to follow throw with the throw.
MIA vs FSU 2015 Line Splits4.webp
Pic#5-Notice the view from the box. Whoever is sitting up there can also relay the DB and S adjustments to what we are running.
MIA vs FSU 2015 Line Splits7.webp

MIA vs NC 2016: Searls Coached Line; QB Kayaa 16-31-224 Yards; 0 TD's; 2 Sacks; 1 Fumble

Pic#6-Notice the OL is wide splits between C and G. Outside they are tight splits G and T. This is technically, conceptually and principally wrong. See my post on Too Richt Searles Leaves Streaky Lines.https://www.canesinsight.com/thread/richt-searel-leaves-streaky-lines/103725?highlight=too+richt
MIA vs UNC The Win or Tie.webp
Pic#7-Notice how constricted the pocket is; the OL does not have any room to catch the DL as they move up field.
MIA vs UNC The Win or Tie2.webp
Pic#8-Notice how the DE's are able to make the turn before the QB is able to complete his two step drop.
MIA vs UNC The Win or Tie4.webp
Pic#9-Here is a better angle; you can see the DE's have already made the turn.
MIA vs UNC The Win or Tie6.webp
Pic#10-Notice even when the QB steps up there is no room to make a successful throw. DE's already on his ***!!!
MIA vs UNC The Win or Tie5.webp

Richt understands that he has a Hyundai vs a Top Fuel Dragster in a race to the finish line. As soon as he lets the button go; that **** dragster is already at the finish line pulling the shoots. These defenses are Teeing off on this OL the same way. You can scheme all you want; ain't going to work with DB's and S's comfortably sitting on routes. Richt knows that he has to upgrade the OL. However, for now he can change what he and Searles are doing with the OL techniques wise. He will have 50% more successful plays if they can just get that area together first. And then work on the next levels of the passing game as others have suggested; attacking the middle and deep field. I can't emphasis this enough; You can't scheme your way out the first level.

Radio interview with Richt, finally admits defenses are keying on the run game by some of things that we are doing offensively techniques wise. Hope they have an answer this week; these losses hurt.

I have a better idea: Mark. fire your offensive coaching staff and try again. This time don't hire anyone you know!!!! Best coach Mark hired was Kool. Had he even met the man before?
