upcoming season

9 to 10 wins is what I expect. There's no way Richt and staff can erase the Goldenism done to some of the current guys in season one. I will bet on major improvement across the board just from the benefit of actual coaching, but expect a fair share of do'h moments as well.

This year is a momentum builder to 2017 especially if Kaaya stays.

He had hands down THE worst play caller in the country shoe horned into an "Offensive Coordinator" title he had zero business carrying.

Judge him on what he does this year, with a guy who actually has a clue of how to call an offensive game. I'd argue the poor kid did all he could in spite of being surrounded by garbage in terms of coaching support and development.
 
Cut down on dumb turnovers, convert more on third down, and be more efficient scoring TDs in the redzone and we can be in the ACC Title game.

It is that simple.

In a few years he will be. Recruiting is changing, and I expect to see top 5 classes again very soon.

There are two things Richt does not do with regularity.

1) Win his conference.
2) Beat his main rival.

Don't hold your breath, especially in year 1.

He won't be playing them with an SEC team full of 5 top ten class recruits. Don't forget broke, he got fired before he landed in Miami.

He had more depth at Georgia than Miami has had here in many years. That, to me, is the difference. Miami will always have NFL caliber guys. What Miami needs is more solid contributors. Also, while Miami has had NFL quality players, MOST of them haven't exactly reached their potential here. I think Richt changes that.

As for westcoastcane saying Richt got fired. That's a bit misleading. Richt obviously wanted out of there, and Georgia was desperate to get Smart, which we'll have to wait and see was, well, smart. Georgia and the SEC tied Richt's hands by not letting him run the offence he ran at FSU. That was one of the best offences I have ever seen. Why they would hire the man then slow his O down is beyond me. Miami and the ACC won't do that. Match made in Heaven if you ask me. If Dabo can create a monster at Clemson, Richt can create an even bigger one in Miami.

And I generally agree with some of this. Except of course his being fired as misleading.

I feel this way about Georgia:
1) they probably made a mistake with a coach that kept them relevant; because
2) they are delusional about what they deserve in college football.

As long as the Georgia money maintain that they should be beating Florida and more serious contenders for a trophy, the change was justifiable because the right candidate to temper the backlash was available. In other words, I think it is less about desperation to get Smart, but more that Smart checked off enough boxes to justify the debatable move. He won a lot of games, just not the right ones.

There is no doubt in my mind that if his stats didn't read 145-51, 2, 5-10 but instead read 140-56, 4, 10-5 the coaching carousel looks a lot different.
