Bingo.Instead of an oc get a new o line coach. Some equal to our d like couch in terms of experience. Would seem like a more logical move
Hire an OC.
Send Jon packing.
Change Brown's responsibilities to RBs and 'running game coordinator'. Leave his title intact.
Replace Searles with the OL coaching equivalent of Coach Kool.
You guys realize Richt likely spent all the $ he had on staff right? So unless he is gonna fire a bunch or ask Blake for another $600-$1M for a OC, we aren't getting one.
Then he should offer to take a million dollar cut, and bring in an offensive GURU.
Marc Trestman started his coaching career at Miami and has been a great QB coach as well as OC. HE is available now and was Richt coach at Miami when grad assistant. He learned under Howard, Earl Morrall, Gary Stephens and then Bill Walsh. He had 2 QB,s as NFL MVP in Rich Gannon and Steve Young. He was Bernie Kosar,s QB coach at Miami
I like Trestman a lot, but always wondered if he had the right personality to be either HC or OC at Miami. He comes across as pretty cerebral. I'm fine with that in a QB coach, but wonder how it would play out as OC.
Someone from the Briles or Sumlin offensive coaching tree.

Sumlin just fired a Sumlin guy (Spavital) to hire a non-Sumlin guy (Mazzone).
I like Jeff Horton from San Diego State. Gorgeous offense, utilizing power looks with just enough speed and wrinkles.
I realize he's a long shot. He's older and not ****. He's been West Coast based, for the most part. His head coaching record also looks pathetic at first glance.
But I was in Las Vegas when Horton coached the Rebels in the mid '90s. I attended many games. You could see that Horton had all the know how of a top notch I formation and power set coach. Those schemes looked very good. But his personnel was inept and so were the quarterbacks, dragging everything down. When he switched to a more open style everything crashed. It clearly wasn't his preference. After the first season the team steadily fell apart and Horton fell out of favor. He had a winless season.
Other coaches realized that Horton had become undervalued. He subsequently coached in the NFL and at Wisconsin. Varied background that includes offensive line coach and quarterbacks coach. Once Rocky Long hired Horton a couple of years ago to jazz up the Aztecs' power looks I was confident they'd have something special. Now they are my absolute favorite college team to watch every week, and very successful at 17-4 combined in 2015 and 2016.
I've mentioned several times that San Diego State lined up against Cincinnati in last year's bowl game and ruthlessly shoved around the same Bearcats team that Miami lost to as 7.5 point favorite. Miami threw 40 times against Cincinnati. San Diego State won 42-7 while throwing 12 times.
Jon Richt is likely your next OC, if he follows the same pattern as he did at UGA.
Since you're qualified to make the call that Richt isn't good enough to run the offense seven games into the season, surely you should have a list of candidates that would do a fantastic job.

Look for that to happen in 2 years

Scary statement to make on brink of Halloween!!

So the offense looks good to you?

Imagine you going from making $10 per hour to $7.50. I'm sure you wouldn't do that so why in the **** would Richt do so?
I'm still waiting for an astute person such as yourself to come up with a list and stand by my previous post.
