This is the problem and MR too

It seems Richt is just a good recruiter without UGa's bags making him great.

We all thought he would be in the top 10 in recruiting annually. We've only made it once and we aren't going to make it this year either so 1/4 years of being a top 10 recruiting class. The recruiting is slightly better then Golden because Richt isn't trying to load up o a bunch of Juco D-linemen. (The biggest reason our DL was hot sh*t)

Look at how Kirby has been recruiting. That should tell you how trash Richt is at recruiting when everything is equal.
 
We have enough talent to beat UVA. That was a trash team we played the other night. They didn't beat us, we just played worse than they did and we didn't even bother to try to exploit their weaknesses until that last drive.
 
It's not just crootin it's the development of the players as well.

Q. Do you like the idea of playing Miami right off the bat?

A. I sure do. Number one, to get it out of the way. Number two, I'd like to get them before they get all greased up. They lost six first-rounders last year. I'd like to get them before they get those other guys playing like first-rounders, which will happen.



We haven't seen anything like that in Coral Gables for 17 years.
 
Recruiting is still not up to where we can dominate IMO...................will we ever be a top dog in CFB again? possibly not if this doesnt get fixed.

Disagree completely. How many 5 stars do we need in order to score 21 against Virginia?

We are recrutiing well enough to beat garbage teams like Virginia, UNC, etc. However, we are not recruiting near well enough to actually compete for the playoffs and beat teams like Clemson, UGA, OSU, Bama, etc.
 
Saturday had nothing do with recruiting, we had better players, we corched outself out of a W

There's only 3 teams on our schedule that will have better talent LSU, FSU & potentially Clemson, two of those games are 50/50 games

This. End discussion. Thanks.
 
Miami is 17th in overall team talent according to 247. Its based on players ranking coming out of hs. Uva is at 63.

Looking at the ap poll and comparing is interesting. Right now 10 of the top 12 teams in the ap poll are all in the top 12 of the team talent rankings.

Recruiting the last two years has been pretty good. 2019 is looking shaky unless we win the division.

I don’t care if we had Tom Brady at QB and Todd Gurley at RB, with the garbage playcalling we still wouldn’t make the playoffs
This. Put our uniforms on different players and it’s the same thing. His playcalling puts our players at a disadvantage. Put guys like JT4 or Deejay Dallas in other schemes that mix it up on a weekly basis to get them touches and they produce EVERY GAME in some way. Not 1 touch for 5 yds for your most explosive playmaker, that’s almost trying to lose.
 
I consider coaching expertise by what the coach had to overcome, not winning percentags per say.
What did he build? What did he leave behind?
At his acceptance Presser while Butch was being introduced,, Limo-gate is happening.
Worst season 97, 64 scholorships? ****, thats divsion 2 territory. Can't even practice at full speed. Produced a 1000yd rusher that year too.
JJ, incomparable head coach, my favorite.
JJ walks into a full cupboard, NC team, Kosar,Testaverde on deck. WOW.
Butch walks into an iconic brand, soiled by previous administration, brings them back from the dead.
Butch stays, it's us, not BamaSabin..
Cot ****.....Talk about Dropping the F-ing Mic......
Howard leaves Hecht running a 4.3 for more $$$$$....Lifetime Pass....
JJ leaves Hecht (with entire staff) running a 4.3 for more $$$$$....Lifetime pass.....
Ericksons Drunk *** leaves Hecht running a 4.2 for more $$$$$....leaves UM with crippling Sanctions under his watch.....Lifetime pass......
Butch leaves Hecht for more $$$$$....leaves UM with the Greatest collection of Talent in NCAA History....setting us up for yrs of Glitz and Glamour......But he's a Bum......
You Can't make this **** up......
Ask ANY player under Butch....Ask ANY coach under Butch (and save me the "He lied to the Kids BS) and ask them (as I have to Nauseam) bout Paul Hilton Davis.....Better yet....Ask Brooklyndee about him.....Dee won't Sugarcoat nothing.....
 
I better not hear anyone calling for Mario Cristobal thrown around on here. Those were fighting words when he was mentioned as a possible hire.

Yes, he's got Oregon playing well and recruiting well but this place would have burned to the ground if he was hired.

From halftime of the Notre Dame game and through the bowl game in 2016 there were some changes made to the offense that led to improved play. It can happen.

But then he goes right back to ole faithful, dive right, dive left. The schedule after that ND game was also a lot easier if you remember back. Richt showed a lot of balls going for a bunch of 4th downs versus FSU but coached the UVA game like he was playing against the 85 bears defense with a HS QB.
 
This is a big part of it for sure, re: Clemson ACCCG beatdown. Richt's offense is about executing and "whooping" the man in front of you, his words, rather than trick plays. But to say we don't have more talent then VA... There is no other excuse here for this loss, it's on Richt, not talent.

CanesDynasty....2 weeks after we lost to FSU in 98 I ran into Coach Bowden at a CircleK off of Appalatchee in Tally...(Business trip) He was standing outside putting peanuts into an RC Cola....I walked up..introduced myself...explained I had a family member on the coaching staff..and proceeded to talk for 10mins....I will never forget what he told me, because during the convo he could sense my Love for UM....he said, Brian...I can already see the improvement at UM.....they'll be back, and sooner than you think....A few wks later....we upset #2 UCLA....sending FSU into NC game...I will always have respect for Coach Bowden.....
