#IStandWithBlakeJames

Only if the rumors are true about forcing Mark Richt to hire a young offenses coordinator

If the rumors are false then,
#FireBlakeJames there is no middle ground here.

Team will start recruiting against Miami about Richt stepping down for now till he retires
So by having a young innovator offense coordinator will help stem the tide.

I honestly don’t get the hate for Blake. Maybe I’m blind. The guy fires Golden mid season. Went out and hired a coach that 80% of the fan base was happy with with SEC coaching experience. Got an indoor practice facility built.

No AD in America is firing Richt before 4 years.

If he forces Richt to make changes then he just needs to go ahead and fire the coach because it proves he doesn’t have faith in the coach to make the right decisions.

not sure if you are serious?, who in their right mind wouldn't expect changes to be made?, if Richt doesn't make them what AD in their right mind would have faith Richt can get it done at this point?, and who in their right mind wouldn't force him to make changes if they couldn't fire his ****** ***

I'm not advocating firing Richt
But Richt and Blake said change was need.
 
If he doesnt fire richt than fire blake and get someone in here that would fire richt. Sorry I dnt feel bad for these ppl, they are the opposite of blue collar. They get contract extensions and salary bumps for things they should be doing.They are severely overpayed parks and recreation workers that have and are severely underachieving.

I stopped here.

1. It was Frenk who fired him.

2. Let's assume James actually ran the athletic department and had total autonomy. That means the following things were on him:

- Giving Golden 5 Years
- Not persuading Golden to bring in a DC
- Hiring Richt
- Allowing Richt to hire his son
- Allowing Richt to be the OC (to start with)
- Allowing Richt to be the OC after 2016
- Allowing Richt to be the OC after 2017 (when we regressed on offense)
- Extending Richt


3. I don't understand why people thought the Richt was good to begin with. If you examine the hire at the time, it made no sense for a few reasons. What was the likelihood of anyone, with such a large sample of HC experience at the P5 level, outperforming their prior tenure. Richt isn’t some young HC learning on the job. He is an old man and his sample size/track record are well established. The book is probably closed and his ceiling is likely established.

Over the last 30 years, how many coaches with 10 years or more experience (as a P5 HC at one school) are suddenly able to just outperform their prior tenure. One comes to mind but when he left his prior program it was nowhere near the level of his new program. That name is Mack Brown and UNC was nothing like UT.

If the goal is to win the ACC, make the playoffs and win it all; why hire someone who can't do that?

You make some good points. But, if cmr refuses to make the necessary changes (Complete overhaul of offensive staff, minus TH) and he doesn’t fire him on the spot he needs to be terminated. It makes no sense to let the fourth year play out. He would only be putting the next HC in bigger hole.

“When you’re in a hole, stop digging.”
