Sorry i think I almost hijacked 
another thread with this question, but does Georgia have to come out early and 'swinging' colloquially, by beating Boise State? Or will Mark get a pass because they are Boise State? I would say Georgia is right there on the brink of returning to SEC elite or the abyss of the SEC, where Tennessee is right now.
Georgia fans in particular, what is Marks status right now? What does he have to do this year, at the bare minimum, to keep his job?

14-0 or die

i think UGA could start 2-0 or 0-2. if 0-2, i think Richt is still fine because they should be underdogs in both games. the real test will be OM & MSU back to back. the Dawg need to win both those games.... then a win at UT and they'll be back on track, maybe still in the race for the SEC-E. UGA will be interesting because they are capable of beating anyone on their schedule, but at the same, they could lose a lot of games if they don't find a groove.

Here's my take. We don't have to beat Boise, it's not totally necessary because they aren't an SEC team. Personally, I think 10 wins and/or the east is the benchmark. 8-4 regardless of the wins and losses should be grounds for dismissal. 9-3 is very iffy, it'll depend on how we've played.
I think the bottom line is that we just need to show SIGNIFICANT improvement over the past few years. I don't think you can definitively put a win total that he must meet.

Richt has to be careful I think. If UGA comes out 0-2, he might not be able to save his job.
I think in order to save himself and UGA, they need to come out NO WORSE than 6-1.

CMR is well respected by our administration and the vast majority of our fans. His current contract expires in 2013. IMHO if Richt contends for the East including a win over Florida then he will likely get his contract renewal. If he goes say 7-5 and loses to Florida again (2-8 vs the Gators) then I don't see how McGarity can justify a contract extension. If that happens, then the way I see it Mark would have one more year to prove himself at which point he might start looking for greener pastures.
Having said this, UGA has one the easiest SEC schedules possible. The first 2 games vs Boise and SC should be the toughest games. Even if we lose both of those games, I could easily see us winning out and contending for the East.

Hell Yes. If he loses to Boise( a real possiblity) it might go down hill fast.

yes his hot seat will be red hot if they lose.

any more than 3 losses and he is gone. Any worse than a 2nd place finish in the sec east and he is gone.

He's just a skinnier Phillip Fulmer anyway.

I don't think it's a matter of needing to sell himself. The powers that be in Athens appear to be ok with losing right now. As long as that's the case, he's good; when it changes, he's gone.

Half the fanbase is bird head biting off, sand pounding furious with him and wants him shitcanned retroactively back to 2005. A quarter of the fanbase believes everything is okay and Corch Richt is the greatest thing since sliced bread. 24 more percent are worried about how they're going to tailgate in the Dome parking lot and what kind of cutesy potato dish to serve for the Boise State game.
And the remaining 1% (composed mostly of the people who actually donate money to the AA and most of the higher ups) thinks Richt has done a good, steady job overall (2 SECC's and a solid win % bear this) but recognizes there is a real need for him to shite or get off the pot.
Real soon.

Avoid an all out meltdown.
Barring a 4 - 8 season, Richt will be head coach in 2012. To keep his seat from being absolutely blazing hot, he probably needs to win 9 games in the regular season with one of those being Florida. Should he lose to Florida, or God forbid Tech, he better win the SEC-East.
At least.
But he'll be at UGA (unless he resigns) in '12 barring an all out catastrophe.
