Pope came because of c00ney, his former high school coach that richt hired. hightower has an uncle that played for UM in the 90s, he been preaching miami since he was jit. I'm not saying dugans had no hand in their recruitment, recruiting is probably his best skill. as far as our receivers, there was a lot to be fukking desired outside of berrios. every one of them had terrible problems dropping passes. langham had 2 good games. even ahhmon was dropping passes consistently and not catching passes in traffic. blocking was the ONLY thing the corp was consistently good at. and as much as I like that, catching the ball, creating separation >>>>> downfield blocking.
i didn't say he was a bad coach, I said, I'm not sold on him yet. also, I don't like that richt seems to have nothing but yes men in those coaching spots on offense. his son(qb coach), dugans(played for him, like a son), brown(rb coach/co-oc) also played for him. I want someone in there that will challenge him.
are Jon Richt (goes without saying, but apparently Nkosi really likes him so we'll see), Hartley (special teams was trash last year in all facets), and I would say Stacy Searles is approaching that level. I'll reserve judgment and see how the O-Line is next year but talent should not be an issue starting next year because we've recruited decently.
