By all means today was a large failure on richt's part but ultimately time will be the ultimate judge. In cfb it's not who you miss on it's who you get and what you do with those players that ultimately defines you as a coach.
Butch Davis ia a perfect example of this concept. He missed on excellent local players like Derrick Gibson but he had or got Ed Reed. Point is you can miss out on stud local guys if the guys you get are just as good or better. Time will tell if richt is that guy but the fact still remains.
In this case Nigel bethel could be our Ed reed. I'll pick on Campbell since I think he has the bigger chance to bust out of the two (curtain). If bethel can become an all conference/ all-American player down the road then Campbell won't be a loss if you will. Sure, him being on the team would definitely benefit Miami but the loss will cancel itself out if this were to occur.
DT, is a huge question mark right now. Know way around it but that can change also. Willis can be a stud, bethel can develop..same with ford. If nastys nesta can come in a help straight way Miami might be alright. On third and long you can toss some de's in the interior to rush the passer... plus they should be strong enough top stop the run if the opposition chooses to do so.
Lots of reasons to be disappointed but this will also show if richt is a true championship level coach. If he's not he don't need to be here any dam ways.
