When will be the earliest Richt can win an NC?

Being 100% realistic.. when that 2018 class (if it turns out to be what I am imagining) is ready to win one.

Jobe, Frierson, Blades, etc etc etc.

I challenge the OP's premise. This is hardly a ****ty situation, my friend. That's exactly why Richt chose to be unemployed for about 6 seconds. If Kaaya stays and Diaz proves to be competent then people will be talking Playoff spot next year. The Kuligowski Effect alone should give Diaz a MAJOR advantage schematically.

Idk [MENTION=9712]Tad Footeball[/MENTION]...I agree with he didn't walk into a s****y but even next year we'll be incredibly young in the secondary and that's a position where you want at least a veteran S and CB, which we would be fine at if I believed Redwine could be a #1 CB after this year but Kool's D-line should give us an advantage. 2018 is a statement year to let everyone know we're back and we need to be taken seriously and 2019 says not only are we back but we're here to stay

The secondary is obviously a fair concern. That's why I was talking just making the Playoff and not a title. My optimism was all contingent on have a Sr. Brad Kaaya that'll be a projected top 10 pick leading the team and a dynamic offense by then too. Pie in the sky? Maybe. But I also don't think we can overstate the effect of having an actual pass rush will be in helping mask whatever deficiencies still remain in the secondary. That's why the Kuligowski hire was almost as important as the Richt one in terms of immediate effect. Almost.
Yea, the one thing that was a definite about this team just by looking at the roster was that D-line was probably our most talented spot on it and needed to be maximized to have early success. We're fortunate to have coach Kuligowski here especially considering that he probably doesn't leave Mizzou if Gary Pinkel doesn't retire.

Probably never. It's been proven that it's nearly impossible to win at UM. You need a long term HC here to pull off that miracle.

if he can somehow get kaaya to come back for his senior year then you have to imagine us atleast being in the conversation for a title .

If Kaaya comes back next year then I would have to agree with you. We will still have questionable depth at OL but by that time we will have plenty of experience. The one spot that really bothers me looking ahead to 2017 is CB. If we do make a title run in 2017, it will most likely have to be with 2-3 true freshman CB"s playing major roles. That position is so terribly thin that we could conceivably start 2 true freshmen there. We desperately need to No1 recruit not one or two but several elite CB's then No2, do everything in our power to get at least 2 of those stud corners in as EE so they can at least have a Spring under their belts.

Brad coming back puts us in the discussion, especially if Mark can get FSU this year. The NC will also required that Diaz be a heck of a lot better coach than he showed at UT. If we see some sustained flashes of old Cane defense this year and Brad comes back next year, then I will be looking at the odds for a potential payday on yet another NC. Golden leave Mark one gift besides Brad -- three fine freshmen LBs with one monster in the middle who have not been ruined by him and Mark. Everyone else needs to be exorcised of Golden demons. Where is Father Leo when we need him?

ut?his last gig was miss state. ............. Jesus move on.
 
After the Clemson game, that next run for the Natty seemed 1,000 years away.
Now it feels more like 3-4 years.
Who knows? Maybe by the end of this year we will feel like we have a shot to do some damage in '17 or '18.

Team needs speed, depth, and a lot more desire. If all goes right 3 or 4 years minimum. Getting through the ACC is one thing, but it's going to take some hellacious recruiting to compete with the teams who have been dominating lately.

This is the correct answer.
 
If Jack Allison develops into a top line starter, I can see us competing for a playoff bid in 2018.

It depends on where he coaches after Miami.


Okay, just kidding. But, let's give him a few years. I think we should be a legitimate competitor for the ACC immediately. The NC will take a few years.

We have been competitors for years. Thats over! We need to win the coastal and the ACC Championship by at most year 4. Base is there and beggining with the 2016 class the depth can be built here to win championships in close to two years. Im tired of watching every meaningful game already knowing we are going to **** the bed. This is Miami!

You're willing to wait 4 years to win the ACC? Is your hobby watching paint dry?

Yes. You said "at most." That still means you're willing to wait 4 years like a happy dope.
