Reporters are supposed to ask hard questions and not just throw softballs at them. It was a legit question and the reporter should man up and say, yes I'm asking you that question. The reporter backed down.

That is why I said that Richt would have been glad to answer his question had he put it to him. As stated, Richt has never backed down from hard questions from media. I have watched many Richt press conferences and he has been asked this question in many different variations, but he wants reporters to ask their questions, not speculate on what "alot" of people are saying.
And yes, Chuck backed down from Richt because Chuck is a mental midget. Nothing more.

It's not a valid question. If it were phrased more along the lines of: You and your teams have experienced a lot of hard losses in big games the past few years, how do you as a coach address big games like this in the future?
That is a hard question worth asking in the right way. Instead, Oliver pawns it off on "a lot of people, but not me" and asks Richt to basically just talk about how he and a specific player seem to struggle in big games.
First of all, you're the reporter, you have the floor, own the damn question if you're going to ask it.
Second of all, unless you are asking about a player's health and well-being, it is never a good idea to specifically drag a college player into a negative-based question during a HC press conference after a very emotional game.
