Richt gives thoughts on Diaz, new DC's, after first bowl practice

View as article
Well so much for all the “evidence” that he was going to hire a “big time OC”!
Not that there was really any evidence to begin with.

He has to. I'm telling you now, and I got nothing against DVD, but he's the 10th coach. Richt's making lazy uninspiring hires and striking out on the trail. Thing is, if he was still on his original contract, things might be different. But Blake for whatever reason decided to extend him until 2023. Richt knows that if he gets fired, he'll probably cash in around $8-$10 mil in buyout money before going off into retirement.

I’m honestly shocked DVD or another lesser known GA has not been hired yet. I guess someone advised him to wait until the offseason to announce it.

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

Let’s hope then that Jess Simpson can bring that magic he had in GA to the U. At this point it’s starting to feel like the less Mark the better.

With the vacancy left on the staff resulting from Diaz’s departure, many have speculated that open spot would go towards an offensive coordinator, or someone on the attacking side of the ball. However, Richt nipped that in the bud real quick.

“It’ll be a defensive position,” Richt said of the opening. “We’ll hire one more.”

Al Golden did more for us in his first 3 years with less money. Steering us through those sanctions vs Bible studies... ? In the first 3 years, Golden also recruited better and got 5* players. Just saying.
