re: So I somehow missed that Jon Richt is the QB coach for Miami ...

. I think Richt’s biggest issue is he assumed he could come in there and recruit like Miami did in the 80s

He did pull a top 10 class last year and even Al Golden
was pulling top 15 classes there.He should be signing top 10 classes on geography alone.There's not another P5 school in the country with as much talent within an hours drive of the campus. Maybe Diaz was the reason for their success last year but CMR just doesn't seem like he has the desire for the recruiting grind.

Did he really recruit that consistently here the 2nd half of his career? Pretty good case could be made that
he didnt.Look at his classes between '10 and '13...we fell way off when it came to producing NFL draft picks (13 total and it put us in a tie with Missouri for 7th place in the SEC) UF produced double the amount and Bama had 30 in that same time frame.

Yes our recruiting picked up in '14 and '15 but was probably due to CJP more than anything else.

I believe Saban and his "process" permanently changed CFB recruiting and it's something CMR never caught up with.
