Difference between Kirby and richt... we know Kirby will get the right guy.. Miami fans don’t seem to have faith in richt

Man. Those forums trigger my PRTSD (Post Richt Traumatic Stress Disorder).
They're just some **** fans Richt is doing a good job there and will get a good coach
Those fans act like Richt is running their powerhouse program into the ground. They haven't really been relevant for a good 15 yrs or so aside from a blip here or there. The ACC thought they were getting a national level program to bump up the conference's profile when they added them. Has not worked out that way at all, none of which is Richt's fault.
I've always wondered about how hard it is to recruit kids and tell them that its a near 40 minute drive from the university to the Hard Rock Stadium. That must ****.
Do they have to drive that every day for practices? I wouldn’t think it would be a big deal if it’s just for the 6 or 7 home games a year and maybe a few other times. They probably bus them all over for games.
True.
But how well did Richt do hiring DC’s at UGA? Seems like his first one (forget his name) and his last one (Pruitt) were the only ones who were really good. And Pruitt caused all kinds of front office problems.
I understand their concern... Flashing back to HC Mark Richt Defensive Coordinator(s) Georgia was simply gashed by Alabama running it straight through Georgia's "Defense?" in the 2012 SECCG. I was sadly in absolute shock that no one on Georgia's D was consistently stopping anyone from Alabama running the ball against Georgia back in those days. MUCH happier now!!
You're talking about Brian Van Gorder for Richt's first 4 yrs. Yes, those were some solid D's with a lot of talent on them. Otherwise, yes the other DCs (WilMart, 3rd and Grantham) were uninspiring. Pruitt was good but had the rep for being a little acerbic to work with.
That 2012 team had talent on D but was very short on depth, especially front 7. That is what truly cost us that game despite every talking head that wants to scream and Monday morning QB about not spiking the ball late. We held up okay against the run early on. However, Grantham wasn't able to sub much particularly along the front and it really showed later in the game. They were running us over in the second half which what fueled their comeback, capped by the play action bomb to Cooper.
Really stinks for the students. The walks from Lumpkin St across N. Campus are fond memories.
Bama's OL simply owned us in the 4th quarter. We were helpless to stop them.
I just shuddered at the thought of the name Willie Martinez.
Martinez is still working on his halftime adjustments from year 2 of his UGA tenure.
There practice fields are right next to their weightroom on campus
I have a friend who is a Miami grad. I tried to warn him on what to expect with their new coach. At first he was doing some talking. Now he just grumbles under his breath when I ask about his team.
You say this so matter of fact-ly. He's not the same guy he was here. The thing before the GT game. He would have never let that happen here. I wouldn't be surprised if he hangs it up for a while/for good after Miami runs him off.
That name has driven fear into the hearts of many over the years. Unfortunately none of those hearts belonged to opposing offenses.
Willie Martinez need a job?
Go, Dawgs!
What was the thing before the GT game?
It's hust that those fans seem to not remember that they were bad for 10yrs b4 he got there.had a 1st season similar to Kirby here and they expect to much too soon
