Why wouldn't Richt stick to the spread?? It actually worked

Because he wants the plays he’s called for 30 years to work. I don’t think his spread could be successful in the long run. He’s not familiar enough with it to make adjustments and coach it properly. We need an OC that is more familiar to come in and do it.

Good points

I don't get it. It's like he's so freaking stubborn that he's willing to have a crappy offense just to make some kind of point. It's like he's complaining about having to run 4 wrs out there. It worked. Why wouldn't he embrace it? Build on it.

4 threads in less than 24 hours. Maybe slow down a bit. This isn’t Cokesnort, we don’t need the board littered with all these new threads. You could have posted this in one of the other Richt threads.

Perry rated himself out the other day when he said he was doing film study on his own. The 45 minutes or so that he does with the coaches isn't enough. He needs to study on his own, if this offense is going to win. Part of this is his immaturity as a qb.
 
We run the spread even when we have TE's in the game.
Our TE's are often detached from the line-of-scrimmage and are basically slot WR's.
Even when they're not detached, we're in 11 personnel (spread).

It's not like Richt is running 21 personnel traditional TE sets.

Here's what actually would happen.

It would work for 4 games. Then an opponent would have enough film to dissect the tendencies and figure it out. Rick would double down and say it was an execution problem, and we'd go on another losing streak. One of Rick's biggest problems is that he doesn't try to stay ahead of his opponents. He has his gameplan, and if has superior players, he can spend the entire season practicing the same plays so the execution can be flawless.

Rick is just not a good coach. There aren't injuries or excuses to explain why the offense is so bad. This is 98% the team he expected to field (minus AR82, who wasn't much of a factor anyways).

Thought provoking response. Your literary brilliance has certainly shined through. Thanks.

Oh, way, you realize that you do have the option of - and I'm just spitballing here - not opening the thread and posting.

Disagree....
If you don’t want content, why do u come here? The whole point of this place is to read what other people think. If it’s much for u, don’t read.

June Jones?
 
Not cmr forte to run the spread hope he ads to it though.thought he'd run the spread his first year to get our weapons in space until the oline was able to run the rpo.really expected him to do it last year and this year considering the depth at wr and rbs.think that's why Thomas was upset.his skill set is for a spread offense not a power.problem is now bama went from rpo to semi rpo/spread they will definitely get the best skill position players now
 
Has a true "SPREAD TEAM" ever won a National Championship???

(Bama, Osu and Clemson don't run true spread offenses)

Sure, technically we are in spread formations but Richt doesn't run spread concepts. He runs traditional pro style concepts from a spread formation. It's a complete abomination.

Richt had a tremendous opportunity when he came here. He got the defense part of it right with Manny Diaz but instead of installing the type of spread offense that would be a perfect fit for the type of players that come out of South Florida he tried to cram his super slow and methodical power run offense down our throats. All he had to do was go out and hire a bright young offensive mind and just be the head coach, the face of the program and ace recruiter but no!!!!!! He had to come in here to run his quicksand in a phone booth offense just so he could call plays. What an *** hat!

This x1000. Once Mork finds something that works he runs it until the D figures it out. Then he tries to keep doing it until we have a nice losing streak scoring under 20 every game. Then it’s time to re-evaluate.

They run an evolution of it, so I don't think you can dismiss them. Auburn with Cam also comes to mind. So, yes, spread teams have won NCs.
