Richt has to be on the hot seat

[pittbb80]

the U is 5 and 4. It’s amazing how The U has struggled If Richt doesn’t drastically turn things around next year. He won’t be Around in 20

Amazing how bad FSU and Miami are

Good guy. Very good guy.
But they are playing terrible football

Don’t forget the Gators
Posted earlier the mess that is Fla’s big 3.....
If remembering correctly they won half the MNC in about a 10 yr span around the late 80s/90s.

Incredible.

Is it the coaching or is it the increasing in-state talent grab by the upstarts USF and UCF diluting their recruiting?

He's still digging out of the talent hole Golden left and trying to fix their QB problem with a freshman.

The U is another example of how important the QB position is

It is jnteresting though. Picket hasn’t been great but Pitt has won without a passing game. The U rbs both had over 100 yards and yet scored only 12 points. Maybe Watson isn’t so bad after all

I think it's more coaching than anything else, though losing does bring on some talent drain as happened with Miami during the 00 s. But I think most kids would rather stay in state and play for FSU or Miami.

If Taggart were to be canned, I'd love to see FSU take a chance on a young southern coach like Neal Brown from Troy.

But
They’re playing like sh!t
That’s on him.

Watching Miami, its more than QB(which is a mess). Most of rest just looks pedestrian. RIcht started so fast including donors. Bizarre.
As for FSU, they're sketchy at the top post Bowden and think were a little blindsided by Jimbo.
No way either should be middle of pack ACC.

The QB problem is huge for them though.

The QB and OL are 2 weak spots for Miami. Their offense is awful right now.

But this is yr 3 isn’t it.

The U has the draw, the panache, the everything needed to have a QB in there.
And it has coaches.

Pitt is playing a first yr starter w limitations, an injury and nowhere near the WRs
And right now Pitt is playing much better ball and that’s on the HC.

It’s far more than a QB issue, Richt and staff are struggling and looking very badly after this weekend

 

[joeydavid]

I'm saying that given the circumstances it doesn't surprise me. They had some luck going on early last year and played above their talent level. Also, the 3rd year of a new coach is often the stepback year before moving forward.

Agree
But I’m seeing a really bad looking FB team given all circumstances one which sb in a better position

It's surprising how many schools have QBs who can both sling it all over and still run effectively when they need to ... then there are others that struggle like Miami and Pitt finding someone who can do either. The secret seems more in the scheme, the former schools seem to recognize that college OLs can't easily pass block effectively for more than a couple secs so they've designed lots of quick slants, screens, and finding the TE in space, and encourage the QB to use his feet when the main objective isn't instantly open. The latter have these old school guys that believe in 7 step drops, expecting neat pockets to form, and asking 19 year old clueless kids to run intricate patterns that would confuse NFL all pros, to which the QB patiently goes through 4 progressions and then leads them with perfect passes. And others (like ours) with irrational fears of using the middle of the field.

Dude

Had a perfect view of The U QB last yr.

He could not hit a bull in the arse with a bass fiddle...
Wouldn’t have mattered if he had the Steeler playbook/ Oline or the Morningside Bull Dogs.

Last night, particularly given the abysmal conditions, they were calling plays for both of their QBs that would have been designed for Bart Starr circa 1962. Crazy

 

[joeydavid]

As good as the coaches have been calling plays to the strengths of the running game; it doesn't seem like they have figured out any consistency in the passing game.

By now there should be a couple plays that you can depend on but that's not the case.

I would almost like to see Pickett taking 3 step drops with one read- if it's not there run with the ball.
