hate to sound like a broken record, but .......
when Mork was first hired as HC he said "my worst mistake at Georgia was giving up playcalling ... i will NEVER make that mistake again"
the ONLY OC the CANES will have as long as Mork is the HC will be Jon Jon .
Blake James is a meatpuppet --- a ticket salesman who does what he is told .. the guy who is really running the football program at Miami is David Epstein (Chairman of the BOT Athletic Committee)We’re basically paying $4 million per year for an average OC.
Blake James did no diligence on this hire, and he deserves to be fired.
Before Mark Richt was hired here, he told the media he was looking to be an OC somewhere. Then the Miami job fell in his lap.
Richt would rather be OC than head coach. He will NEVER give up playcalling. Ever.
One thing that’s gone unnoticed is the promotion of Jess Simpson to Associate Head Coach.
This is a direct response to Jimmy Johnson and the like saying yoy can’t be head coach and coordinate one side of the ball.
Instead of hiring an OC, Richt’s answer to that criticism was to hire someone to do the head coaching responsibilities - Simpson.
Don’t be surprised if all the true head coaching is done by Simpson next year. Richt would rather be a pure OC.
Blake James should have known that when he interviewed Richt back in 2016
I was looking high and low for Richt's logic from the above quote........still looking.“I didn’t see much broken on defense, so I didn’t want to sit there and try to start from scratch.
Meanwhile on the offensive side of the ball...
“It’ll be a defensive position,” Richt said of the opening. “We’ll hire one more.”
**** man
His mistakes at Georgia are the same as now. Refusal to adapt when things go awry, subpar assistant coaches, and lack of emphasis on recruiting the o line.hate to sound like a broken record, but .......
