I said it in another thread and I will say it here.....I firmly believe that CMR called quite a few of the plays in the loss to Carolina....he had the headset on more than usual....

Agree. That should tell Richt something. I guess . . . . .

I'm just not a huge fan of making a change like that mid-season. Now, if we win out and Richt wants to run Bobo off and give it one more shot as the playcaller himself for next year...I'd be willing to quietly sit back and see how that goes...


I don't want anyone like the HC fired in mid-season either. I don't think an interim coach is going
to offer the program anything at all.

I also happen to believe that Richt would not call the same plays that Bobo would call. I think the
playbook is the Richt playbook, but the actual situational calls would be different. We've seen Richt
call games in the past, and it wasn't the same thing Bobo does. I just think Richt delegates and
then doesn't step on the toes of those who he delegated to do certain tasks. He gave the offense
to Bobo, so in his mind the offense belonged to Bobo. The good about that is that is the way
you should be... It's the way many successful managers operate. The problem is Richt is such a
nice guy and such a believer in the inherent goodness of his chosen ones that he is extremely
reluctant to step back in and admit they can't do the job.

Yeah, but it's more than just playcalling. Think back over the past 2+ seasons and how many "shoulda, woulda, coulda" games we had that were lost because of mental errors, costly fumbles/turnovers, blown blocking assignments, stupid penalties, etc.

Great teams just have a way of "making the ball bounce their way." Most coaches will tell you that some luck goes into winning an SEC/National title. I'm not here to say that luck has NOTHING to do with it...just that great teams don't win because they're luckier than the losing team. They win because they're more disciplined than the losing team. Over the past 2+ years, we've fairly consistently given away games because the other team was more disciplined than we were...in my mind that's a direct reflection of the coach and his staff.

Well I agree completely. I'm just saying the play calling itself may be a bit more lucid.

The other stuff like our mental mistakes and lack of discipline... Richt calling plays isn't
going to fix that.

Heck, at this point, I don't care if we have Hairy Dawg calling plays...if it shakes things up and puts W's instead of L's in the books, I'm all for it!!! :)
