Richt better call plays a whole lot better than last season.

I've watched and rewatched our games - and the play calling was atrocious. Even in our bowl win - the entire first and most of the second quarter - his play calling sukked, and our QB insisted on scrambling INTO opposing players.

Agree. Not sure where all this richt **** sucking is coming from after what he showed last year.

Not **** suckin just that yall being asses and not looking at the whole situation. As a fan the play calling was very frustrating but so was the play of the O-line, the most immobile qb in college football history and maybe just maybe that put some limitations on what he felt comfortable calling at times. I say year 2 is a no excuses year for him as a playcaller. He has everything he needs for our offense to be productive

Except a QB.. the most important position on offense.

You dont have to have a world beater at qb. U just need someone who can be smart with the ball and capitalize off the opportunities our defense gives us

I'd like to hear a breakdown of the play calling and what was wrong with it. I'm not saying it wasn't bad, I'm just not sure that's what I saw.

What I know I saw was an OL that couldn't open holes or give the QB much time and a QB who thought he was about to get sacked even when he wasn't. Also, I saw a head coach who didn't seem interested in adjusting to what he had as opposed to what he wished he had, especially at the QB spot. Richt should have abandoned the pretense that Kayaa was ever going to run and let him play from the gun.

Is this what people mean, or were the actual plays bad- like running the wrong play against a specific defense?

OK. Let's say your Oline can't open up lanes. Play after play, they got eight in the box, and you do four or five 3-and-outs.

Richt would continue trying to run right up the middle - all game - and nothing was EVER there.

SEC mindset. Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, pass, run, run, run, run, run run run run pass, run, run, etc.

It's true - You gotta run, and the running game opens up the passing game. All true.

But the inverse is also true.

If they've got eight or nine in the box - and you've been stuffed fifteen times in a row - do you not think this calls for an adjustment?

The PASSING GAME ALSO OPENS UP THE RUN.

When we DID pass, Kaaya was throwing in the dirt, running right at tacklers, or holding it too long going for too much at a time. Short. Quick. Just like we saw Richards break in the Bowl Game. OH! We got something going now!

If you don't have time for long throws - don't keep trying it. If you don't have any run blocking - don't keep trying it and going three and out. If the only thing that's working is short, quick passes - then do what's working.

That's all I'm saying.

Rick needs to get off his *** and get aware of what's working, and what's not.

No team can defend everything. The trick is to find what they don't have covered - or can't stop.

Just curious how many years you have been coaching?

I never coached. I was SF and participated in a number of "games." Our win/loss ratio was a documented 150:1. We were thus somewhat familiar with tactics.

We never got a time out, no halftime, and the final score was truly final.

That's why I say no one can defend everything - something is available. A knowing leader will quickly find that something.

Running up the middle when it's heavily reinforced - in my business - was fatal.

In this case, Richt lost games, and a lot of missed opportunities in all others.

Richt had ZERO trust in Kaaya. He knew he was a gutless statue.

I get Kaaya didn't live up to the hype of bringing us back, but gutless? Kid had his teeth knocked out against FSU on like the first play and if it wasn't for two really bad calls would have one that game.

Co-sign on this. I kept waiting for the guy that coordinated some wide-open offenses at FSU to arrive on our sideline...

I wouldn't say atrocious but we were a second half team. I hope he can adjust faster then he did last year. With that being said, he is the best play caller we had in 10 years

That's not saying much, given who's been here.

And it's debatable - Jedd Fisch.

Difference was he was getting South Florida players here and there, in Miami hes going to pick almost any one he wants and the scraps will go elsewhere..

That's right. With all the momentum Richt has already built we are one successful season away from being the most powerful recruiters in the nation.

He supposedly has a hidden playbook he was waiting to unleash!
