    Hopefully not just fluff, but it sounds like he gets the message.

    That's better than what Richt said, which was essentially, "We've got the right plan, we just need to do it better."

    Word is that the AD met with him and told him he had to fire his son and think about other offensive staff positions. He said, "I quit."

    Say what you will about the Diaz hire, he had a vision for the defense and he made it happen. He also fired the entire offensive staff - every. last. one. - including Richt's son, w/in 24 hours of being hired.

    But, that's the easy part for coaches who want to get better.

    Here is how Maryland hung 50 on Ohio State throwing 13 passes


    Holy shit. I didn't realize that someone almost ran for 3 hundy against the Bucks. And two other guys averaged 5.0 ypc or better.

    Was the OSU first unit D suspended for that game? Fucking Maryland?

    Counter argument is that if Richt needed to fire his staff he should have been fired anyway

    7-6 is what we had when we got Pete. There's a jump to 10 wins then a bigger jump to 12-15

    Richt could manage to have a losing record in a season at Georgia.

    Agreed. In retrospect he was a good enough coach to put together decent seasons, no more, and occasionally do better than that. 10-2 made all of Cane nation bite. And as you know, I'm a sucker for a good recruiter, because you have to have that anyway.

    But some guys just can't put it together, and in Richt's case, he seemed to have effectively retired to Miami when he took the job. Which explains why he punked out when it got hard. He didn't come to Miami for hard. He came to Miami to retire.

    Which is why I'm leary of old guys at the HC spot. It's not a fun job. You need to be hungry. He was not. I'm skeptical about whether Davis part II would be hungry enough. He's old now too.

    Plenty has been said on here about James realizing he had to get with the times. It may be earlier in his Husky career, but this is Pete’s. Browning was recruited to run his old bullshit offense. That time is over and if we dont totally overhaul the offense this offseason the program is over.

    This is the legendary DON JAMES ANALOGY. I've lobbied for this to stop! He is a statue, and not coming back in the form of somebody else! Jesus. Every coach except Neuheisel and Sark was supposed to be in the mold of DJ.
