Mike Bobo says Faton Bauta has a “good chance” of unseating the returning starter and winning the starting quarterback job at Colorado State.
“The thing about Faton, I had him for three, coach (Mark) Richt had him for another year, he hasn’t played a lot of football. When you’re a third-team guy, you don’t actually practice a lot. As spring went on for us, he got a lot of reps and you saw a guy get better and I saw some improvement.”

If he had pushed for a big increase, McGarity might have put pressure on him to actually perform and he knew he was doing the most he possibly could or was willing to do and was never going to win anything that mattered. He was starting to feel some heat because he couldn’t win a championship of any kind. The Miami job opening up changed everything. He wanted to go there to be the “savior” and not have to worry about any heat under his ass for a few years.
As to him not signing his contract; if I were McGarity I would not have honored the terms and would have made him sue Georgia. He might have gotten the money but it would have certainly changed the way his disciples saw him Not signing his contract was another example of his lack of attention to details and laziness in my opinion.

Yeah, this is a stretch. I think Richt probably got to the same place that a lot of us were at: it was simply time for a change.

He is a very good coach, but the details did him in and his propensity to let things resolve themselves obviously did him in with whatever the f happened post-Florida with Pruitt. It looked by any objective measure that the captain didn’t have control of the ship.
I actually expect that Richt is going to win pretty big pretty quickly at Miami. From the outside looking in, he certain appears refreshed and seems to be learning from his mistakes the first time around (get his guys on the O staff and fill the D staff with guys he won’t have an emotional resistance to firing).

Lambert had been “executing?” If you mean burning the offense at the stake, I guess that’s right.
I don’t think it made a lot of sense to change the entire offense for a game. The issue was whether bauta could throw as well as lambert and add the additional dimension of tucking and picking up cheap yards. If you watched the big game this year you saw Watson do that several times to Alabama. Very tough to defend a guy that can drop back, survey the field, and tuck it and go when there’s no where to throw it. Bauta was supposed to do that. Instead he kept chucking it to orange. That’s on Faton.
As far as an offense of designed runs, I’m still not convinced that bauta is that good of an athlete. If your going to rely on your legs in this league, when you run you better look and say “wow!” I never saw anything approaching a “wow” moment for bauta. It’s just not there.
Let me ask this: If bauta had gone to tech would you shit yourself? Neither would I. He’d be back up to the guy who won 3 last year. He just ain’t that good.
LikeLike
You might be right about him not being that good. If you are, that would be even more damning on Richt. If you, not to disparage your qb evaluation skills, can see that Bauta is not that good, certainly a top level college coach making $4 million a year because of his knowledge should be able to see that.
Throwing a qb who has not played any, to speak of, into a huge game and not changing any of the play calling to take advantage of that qb’s skill set makes no sense on any level other than the coach was doing all he could to lose the game.
Lambert was in no danger of being mentioned as a Heisman candidate, but he had managed to win every game but one and he could have won that one but for a dropped long pass.
Words are woefully inadequate to convey how glad I am that Richt is gone.

The Auburn game with the tipped pass is probably the best example of him really willing the team to win and that game was a lost. I’ve always said Murray and Richt had a special relationship because they were mirror images of each other and were almost identical in their careers. Both were good but not great and both had great stats but nothing to really show for them.

Not sure how this got to be a Murray vs Shaw argument, because I never said anything inferring that. I felt Shaw’s skillset, just like Bauta’s, would be considered a liability in CMR’s offense. I suppose the same can be said of Watson’s skillset.
Perhaps CMR suffered from the same problems with QBs that the nfl complains about. If high schools don’t use a prototype nfl offense, their QBs aren’t likely to develop those particular skills. Then we reach on guys like Bauta, hoping they can adapt to the CMR way.

Second play: p/a pass to #1 in the flat for 8. Then a false start by a 6th year guy. Fortunately, we punt this time.
Second series: first play is a bootleg pass. Bauta, much like a statue, runs to his left and throws for 9. I’ve seen da Vinci’s David asked to do more with his feet. Twice #22 can’t get a yard one on one with a LB. Punt. Before you say #1 should have been in there, he was hurt.
Third series: First play drop back pass to #83 for 5, Second play: P/a pass to the other team. Watch it at 37:40

However, I challenge anyone who is dense enough to think that Bobo was an elite coordinator to name any year that he was OC in Athens and I’ll give you at least two games where the offense failed us. In fact, most years I can give you 3-4 examples.
I would also point out that the people in charge of evaluating him didn’t think he was very good either which is why he was paid a relatively low salary. Finally point, he won 7 games last season with a CSU team that won 10 games the year before he arrived.

As for 2013, I won’t be too hard on the 26 points in the Mizzou game since it came directly on the heels of injury laden trip to K’ville, but 20 points against Vandy was a total joke.

We’ve already agreed to disagree a few times on the whole mishandling of DeShaun Watson, so I won’t beat a dead horse. Suffice it to say I 100% blame Bobo that we didn’t have a shot to get a heisman caliber qb sitting in our own backyard.

Ultimately, when you pair 2014 with the rest of Bobo’s career as OC it’s an anomaly right? Well, with the exception of only scoring 20 against Florida, and 17 against Tech that is. Then there was the abomination on the goalline in Columbia, but hey we scored 35 right?
2014 was a blessing because it finally convinced somebody to take him off our hands. We ended up getting somebody worse, but at least we’re in the swing of firing guys when they don’t work out. In this sort of climate Bobo would have never made it past 2010.
