Durkin messing with Meatchickens world. Stole recruiting coordinator who was tied to all Meatchickens east coast recruits including having coached Rashan Gray. Add to it Durkin is their main, and really only, significant connection in the southeast. All that said:
Yea...not even close. Golden was the worse Canes coach in over 50 years. His record was worse than Shannon and he had a losing record in the ACC I believe. Never got above 3rd in arguably the worst division in the Power 5 the last few years. Richt will perform much better than that.
Lots of weeping and gnashing of teeth in ACCLand now.
I wonder how the Nolies are going to handle having an effective recruiter in Miami now. I'd think once again that Dade County is going to have an orange & green wall built around it.

Richt is a pretty decent coach. He's certainly good enough of a coach that he should have Miami competing pretty soon. He's in the ACC coastal division which is awful. He's a good enough coach and recruiter that he should have Miami in contention to win that division most years.
It's funny how quickly people went from "Mark Richt sucks" to "Mark Richt will kick your ass."
It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where George couldn't get women interested in him until he showed them a picture of a model and told them she was his girlfriend. Basically, Da U is the "girlfriend" picture.
Richt struggled to beat, or outrecruit, the Gators when they were at their worst in modern history. There's nothing in his track record that suggests that he will be able to turn the tables on FSU.

Well, he certainly improved UGA while he was there. I think he will improve Miami. To what extent is the question. He should certainly be able to improve it enough to compete in the ACC
From fat Dooley;
Meanwhile, Mark Stoops, who has been the Kentucky coach for three uneventful seasons, is the longest-tenured coach in the SEC East by 11 days over Butch Jones.

This. He did good enough to be very competitive in the SEC. His biggest issue was beating or not being able to beat UF. I don't think Richt is a great coach. I don't think Richt is a crappy coach. He's a good coach thatbis better than any other head coach Miami has had since Butch Davis.
I think Kentucky went 5-7 this year. That doesn't seem unreasonable for them.
I know you guys don't think much of Mark Stoops, but he is a decent coach. He
was a big factor in tightening up FSU's defense after Bobby left. Saban
himself probably couldn't turn Kentucky into a 10-win/season program. Maybe
Urban could do it, but he would have to be allowed to recruit directly out of
the local prisons.
Look at who their 5 wins were against. They were 2-6 in the SEC. Rich Brooks had a few good years at UK. I agree it's UK but with the hiring of Stoops and his staff the UK admin started putting much more resources towards football. They haven't received the benefits.
Per #UGA source, Mark Richt is heading into team meeting now and will tell players he will NOT coach in Bulldogs bowl game

Fair enough.
I guess it's reasonable for Kentucky to aspire to at least be able to go bowling on the reg.
Coker was awful. He pretty much turned Miami into what it is. Talk about a guy that won with other players.
And Richt had a LOT of advantages at UGA that Miami doesn't even come close to having. That's going to be a problem.

God really?
Damn...you'd think that with the success Pinkel has brought there, they could do better than that
Excellent wording: "not even close". Limiting our review to the more-or-less 1/2 century you chose, Golden is only the 7th worst Canes coach. You oughtta keep in mind that when you pluck numbers outta, um, thin air, there are readers here who'll recognize right away when you've leapt into unfamiliar waters waaay over your head.
Are you unaware that it was less than 40 years ago: 1978 or 1979, that U. Miami was sooo bad that it was seriously considering deëmphasizing or disbanding its Div. I-A football program? Considering the low undergrad enrollment at its U., maybe Div. I-AA would've made better financial sense. Instead, as a last gasp, they hired the available and conveniently located Howard Schnellenberger (1979--1983).
Canes coaches "in over 50 years", by winning percentage at U. Miami, from worst to only 7th worst (the number after the '/' being the total number of games):
#1 1975--1976 (Indep.): Carl Selmer: 5--16--0/21 = 23.8%
#2(tie) 1977--1978 (Indep.): Lou Saban: 9--13--0/22 = 40.9%
#2(tie) 1971--1972 (Indep.): Fran Curci: 9--13--0/22 = 40.9%
#4 1973--1974 (Indep.): Pete Elliott: 11--11--0/22 = 50.0%
#5 1964--1970[#] (Indep.): Charlie Tate: 36--34--3/73 = 51.4%
#6 2007--2010 (ACC): Randy Shannon: 28--23--0/51 = 54.9%
#7 2011--2015 (ACC): Al Golden: 32--25--0/57 = 56.1%
-------
Note #: I included Tate's 1st & 2nd years as head football coach at U. Miami above, because doing so stretches the arbitrary period discussed to only 52 years (i.e.: by +4%), and omitting the overall-even 9--9--2 record of his 1st & 2nd years to fit the period makes no difference to his ranking (27--25--1/53 = 51.9%: still #5).
Interesting.
Wouldn't surprise me.
And it does mean you have to live in Missouri.
Richt is a nice guy but he is neither a good offensive coordinator nor good HBC. BS. He IS a good recruiter but he'll be UGA of the ACC and lose big games to the nulls just like he did to UF. He is so conservative he will never push the envelope. Nulls should rejoice he took the job, they will own him as long as they can match up personnel wise. Mark it. LOL
I don't disagree with some of what your saying. But I think he's a good enough coach that he shouldn't have too much of a problem with the rest of the ACC. He will be in the coastal division. He should be able to do well in that division.
Plus he is a good recruiter in a talent rich part of the country. Like Paco said, its not that we suddenly think he is a great coach, but he will be the best Miami has had in a long time. I also believe he will assemble a decent staff.
I will fall out of my chair in utter shock and disbelief if USCe hires Muschump. That would be hilarious. Didn't they even watch the UF vs USCe game last year where he choked another game away and preceded to get fired the next day. Has USCe been paying any attention to how UF has played when Muschamp was the coach? It's mind numbing and baffling to me that he was even interviewed. I don't understand.
Other than his two years with Quinn and his year with Auburn where two RB who went in the top 5 NFL allowed them to dominated TOP, I am not really sure where the obsession with this guy comes from.

Sorry to interrupt when grown folks are talking 
but does anyone have a rough guess how many hours Mark Richt was unemployed?
