Will Richt get 4 or 5 years

Beating VT in Blacksburg would be an upset, no doubt.

We better pray that doesn’t happen or they will give Mork another extension. I think we lose to VT and shock the world against Pitt.
I’ll be ready to storm the field if we beat the mighty Panthers at home!!

If you look in the past Shannon got 4 years and Golden got 5 years. Now Golden probably got an extra year due to the sanctions. At this point, Richt has a higher winning percentage and the cost to fire him is probably more. My belief is that Richt will be gone after the end of next season if that season goes bad and he did not start the season with a new offensive coordinator. If Richt hires a coordinator then I think he gets 5 seasons unless there is a major collapse. (less than 5 wins next year). I think there is a 0 percent chance he gets fired this year, regardless of the outcome of the rest of the games.

If he wins 8 or more games next year, he gets a fifth year. If he wins 7 or less, they’ll fire him.

With our luck, he wins 7-9 games and he gets a year 5

Yes, under no circumstance is he fired this year.
Andrew do you think there is a chance that he resigns/retires at the end of the year if we go 5-7 on a 6 game loosing streak? And of course the air campaign starts during the Pitt game.
 
since we seem to be playing the IF game ....

IF the people on this board were doing their jobs at the same level that Mork is coaching Miami....

how long would you keep your job ?

Buyouts matter, plenty of CEO last for years at underperforming companies.
 
We honestly don't need to can the dude right now, we just need to force feed down his throat staff changes. Make it a requirement for him continuing as Head Corch. O Line, STs, play calling OC. We get those and we are in business.
I think if you have to force feed staff changes on the HC, you need a new HC.
 
Will Richt get 4-5 years?

No, I doubt it. Poor play-calling is not a criminal violation to my knowledge, no matter how bad.

Maybe a tort case, something like intentional infliction of emotional distress, though that's dubious, too, even in a weird state like Florida.

And things are really weird down there.

An AD shouldn’t force staff changes on a coach ever

At end of season, meet with him. If he acknowledges his failures and tells you how he’s going to correct them including a new OC, new QBC, etc, great.

If he says all is well, just need to execute better, fire him on the spot.

RICHt is getting $4M/year to put this together. If he can’t acknowledge his failures and make corrections in his own, he shouldn’t be given another minute.

He will be given the opportunity to fix the staff
 
What makes anyone think Mork will hire some leading edge strategist? He's going to hire an OC he's comfy with, of the same offensive philosophy. Meanwhile the recruits are getting away, sealing his fate. Mork is doomed. Better to fire him now.

I'd love to think he'll hire an independent guy who runs an offense from the current decade and cares about winning. Unfortunately, what I think Richt will learn from this season (if anything) is that he needs somebody else to call plays on gameday. Not that the plays are bad and predictable, just that they should come from a different mouth on Saturdays.
 
Miami MIGHT go winless in 2019.

My guess, after an 0-4/5 start (maybe win over mighty Fightn' Chippewahs), Richt is fired and Diaz (if not poached this off season) is given interim HC duties as on the job interview for the full nod in 2020.

This scenario might even be in the back of Manolo's head right now.

Hmmmmm.

The only chance he is not our coach next year is if he chooses to retire. I agree with you that bringing in a new OC and OL coach probably buys him year 5. No changes to the staff and another woeful season and he's gone after 2019.
 
I've go the same timeline I thought when he was hired:

- He'll get 3-4 years calling his own plays before he's forced to hire an OC
- After hiring an OC, that'll buy him another 3-5 years of "let's see what he can do with an OC" (shorter end if he hires a bad OC, longer end if he hires a good OC)

At Georgia he got 6 years of calling his owns plays, 9 years with an OC. It'll be a similar timeframe at Miami, just condensed
 
He's had that opportunity and failed...
Just like everything else....

To be fair, after last season it looked like we'd be real good with a few personnel upgrades and a little better execution. I don't think it was at all clear that his scheme couldn't work with a better QB. Losing to Pitt is a thing that happens, even to good teams. It's real hard to not have a letdown all season. Clemson? Well, we just aren't there yet. Wisconsin is the only one (oddly) that I really think was unforgivable. Go beat a good team at home. You've got motivation and ability, get it done.

Of course since then the cracks have widend to the point they can't be papered over.
