Hypothetical: If you were the UGA athletic director: (Mark Richt extension)

SO, let's assume the rumor of Richt talking to A&M is true. (just a hypothetical, I'm not saying it's even remotely true, so settle down and don't go threatening suicide WG Dawg.)
If you're UGA, do you just give him the extension he's obviously playing you for? I mean, before this season, he was awful and you wanted him gone since he shite the bed with a good team in 08 and has just plain been mediocre-bad 09-10. If you lock him in with the extension and he proves to be mediocre again, you're stuck with him for a while due to a huge buyout.
Or, do you call his bluff and make him earn his extension with an SEC East championship or BCS bowl next year? That should be the standard considering UGA's competition in the east next year. THen, give him the extension if he's earned it. If he loses 4-5 games next year, then you can cut him loose.
I am leaning towards the latter. If UGA calls his bluff, I still don't think Richt leaves a much more talented team with a huge class of talent in 2013 in the state of GA, for TX A&M, a rebuilding job and having to face the West every year.
If he does leave, then UGA is in a bit of a bind, but I have no doubt there will be a long line of highly qualified coaches wanting in.

Hearing there are some legs to this story with Kirby Smart the likely replacement should Richt jump ship.

Honestly, I say call his bluff.
Give him a one year deal. If its not good enough. Give the Head Coaching job to Grantham

They're going to extend him, because they can't send him out recruiting with limited time left on his contract. And adding 1 year is laughable and a bad sign in itself.
It's really not even debatable, he's already forced an extension.

I am the athletic director. UGA just doesn't ask for my opinion. Fortunately Moustache has.
Richt gets his extension thru atleast 2016. Not for Saban/Miles/Stoops type money obviously. Buy out will be extremely low, however. Grantham will get his as well. All this done around bowl season.

UGA just needs to give him a one year extension, and just wait for Dooley to get canned after next season at Tenn and the can get Dooley for them selves.....

I disagree to a point with some of the comments that richt earned an extension this past year.
If you count GT as a team with a pulse, UGA played 4 teams with a pulse and lost 3.
Gotta look at Richt over life of tenure there and he has earned an extension based on that.
However if I were AD I would offer a 5 year deal contingent on upgrading the OC position. Richt has been painfully slow to remove underperforming Coordinators.
