What could CMR do today that would give you hope?

For me going into next season I have little hope things will improve based on the fact that we came into this season without addressing the two biggest weaknesses from the season before, namely QB and Punter. So that leads me to ask what would it take to even give a remote glimmer of confidence that somehow things would improve in year 4 of what appears to be CMR trying to climb a greased flagpole? My first part of the list is do the things he did not do last year, and then...

1) Develop a QB who can come in game 1 and drive us for a TD drive in the first quarter, and that can complete 60+% of his passes (or her, I don't care who it is!)
2) Find a punter that knows how to punt, and does so each time they hit the field, and not one that consistently hits good punts in practice or pre-game or at halftime!
3) Establish an OLine that knows how to block
4) Put the best receivers on the field, use all of them that are good enough to play
5) Go deep within the first 4 plays to start a game and go deep at least once every 10 plays
6) Offense, don't make the defense play the majority of snaps
7) Do not run from the same formation 80% of the plays
8) Do not signal to the other team (and the fans, and everyone on TV) that your snap count consists of a clap or two claps
9) Run players in motion pre-snap
10) Teach your QB what to look for when you do send players in motion pre-snap
11) CMR needs to not sound like he just woke up during every interview or look like it during a game. You are coaching your alma mater, if you can't even get excited about that then it is time to retire!
12) Score more than 30 points in every game you play

great list, hire a ST coach, hire a new S&C coach( note in presser when Urban retired first coach he mentioned was S&C Marroitta). new independent OC (emphasis on spread principals as well as a college guy thats were new thinking is coming from these days), new OL coach. find his son Jon a job.
 
Get rid of Searels/richt jr.

Hire a new explosive oc and upgrade our recruiting staff, our recruiting ability is lacking severely imo. Need to get some more people on the staff the kids can relate to(obviously not Searels)

Land our remaining targets

Hire a new OL coach.

Hire Kendall Briles.

Stop recruiting on par with Temple.

Honestly, if he took a little responsibility for the offensive woes, I'd be ecstatic. That's enough for me. At least acknowledge the problem. That'd give me some hope even if no changes are made staff wise.

All of this
 
At this point, I would prefer a new coach, but knowing the UM Admin is too stupid for that, here's what would give me actual hope and have me at least sipping some cool aid again:
  1. Fire Searles and replace him with a good OL
  2. Step up from being our OC and become what are his natural and strong assets as HC.
  3. Replace himself as OC with an innovative mind. I don't care if he's young or old. It's irrelevant. If he's got a fresh approach to the O where we're not so predictable, then I'm in.
  4. Replace Jon-Jon with a real QB coach.
  5. Hear from some insiders that ALL remaining coaches (looking at you Hartley, Dugans and Patke) are legitimately being placed on the hot seat. Underperformance will no longer be tolerated from anyone!
I'm sure there is more, but what I've listed is all very, VERY doable, is within the authority of Richt to do, is his responsibility to do and owes it to us to do. Without these things, we're just waiting for him to retire so we can chalk up a 4th terrible HC in a row.
 
Really simple, bring in an OC from outside his coaching tree and give him full control of the offense and staff or I have zero hope.

Hire an innovative O.C. who can play to our strengths and minimize our weaknesses. Other than that, Richt just needs to CEO. We have a very weak schedule next year (Florida, Central Michigan, Duke, Fla St, GT, Louisville, Virginia, VT, NC and Pitt) with three of those teams going through head coaching changes and most of the schools we play lose a ton of experience on both sides of the ball. 9-1 is absolutely doable not because we are world beaters but because all these teams listed will be below average to terrible except for Florida.

I don't care how we get to a good record but it must be done. In 2017, we had the 12th ranked recruiting class with a 9-4 record. In 2018, we had the 8th ranked recruiting class with a 10-3 record. This year is terrible and mostly because we had a horrible record of 7-5. We rebound with a 9-1 or even 10-0 record and we probably end up in the top 5 recruiting class especially with the commits we already have in surge '20.

JUST HIRE AN O.C. RICHT AND NEXT YEAR COULD BE A GREAT YEAR!

It's easy to say he needs to resign, but honestly there is nothing he can do now that he couldn't have done in his last years at UGA to avoid getting fired there. We got duped. This is a lost cause.
 
Get caught with a hooker and an eight ball off of Biscayne Blvd. Emerges from DCJ and speaks of an offensive epiphany he had while eating bologna sandwiches and awaiting bail.
