QB Coach

I'm a big believer in the free market.

There is a reason why in the NFL, the average starting quarterback makes around $8 million per year, and the average quarterback's coach makes around $250,000.

I get that college football isn't the NFL, but there's a reason players are paid so much more than coaches... and that's even with there being a salary cap on player salaries (or they would be even higher.)

Players are much more important than coaches. That's why they get paid more. If coaches could make a player, they would be the ones pulling in the big bucks.

So what about this for your free market theory. If Jon Richt was on the free market and his dad wasn't a coach he would be coaching QBs on a pop warner team.

Jon isn't the real QB coach...Mark is. That's like saying Saban doesn't coach the DBs at Bama. Sure there's a random guy listed as that position coach, but you know **** well who the real coach is. No different here. So the lack of development falls on Mark. His son is just in the room reciting what his dad says.

Which is part of the problem...

1. Richt needs a chit-ton of help on offense because he is insistent on calling the plays on offense.

2. Instead of getting help, he hires his unqualified, inexperienced and atrocious son. By giving his son this position, that is one less coach who can actually help Richt.

3. So now, you have ZERO coaches on offense who can help Richt do what he is insistent on doing. So yes, Coach Richt might be the "real QB coach" but it is incredibly foolish to waste that coaching position on his son.

4. I don't blame his son for taking the gig, no other real program would consider him for the same gig.

It happens at companies everywhere. The unworthy son/relative gets the job over a guy who is more than qualified. All the weapons we have and we're coddling a 5th year senior who has lost 4 straight and is digressing. He wouldn't start at Miami Ohio.
 
Not just the son...our oc is Thomas Brown whom is just oc in name. He is a rb coach all the way and a Richt disciple. Good guy and rb coach...but its why i wanted one of the extra staff position to be an offensive guy when they went with Patke. Richt needed another offensive mind in the mix and we didnt get it.

Everyone with a brain knew that if Richt was insistent on keeping things as they are that he needed an offensive coach who knew how to call plays and help Richt. Instead he hired someone who is of the same quality as his son.
 
If you don’t think our QB coach is a problem, you should talk to someone who has actually been around him or received any type of coaching from him. I’m sure your opinion would be different.

"Yeah bro, stand in the pocket like it's a surfboard, just like it's a big gnarly wave"

"Yeah dad, I told him all he needed to know. I don't know why he isn't getting it"

Yes, but if we got rid of Lil Richt we could hire a competent OC or special teams guy.
