Really? According to who, you? The author? The only reason it's "honost" is because it agrees with your narritive.

That guy is a hack by the way. He's called for Richt's head several times now.

Yep, that looks just like the homo.

The author makes some valid and damning points about Richt's record vs SEC opponents with winning records but I disagree with much of his underachievement mantra.
First, top 10 classes (he said our classes average 8th over the last 10 years) doesn't cut it when your toughest competition is getting top 5 classes. And yes, those extra 4 and 5 star players do make a difference; just ask Alabama and Auburn.
Second, what is largely overlooked in analyzing recruiting is the realized product on the field. This season is a good example of Georgia once again losing highly recruited key players due to discipline issues or whatever.
Third, because Richt has tended to under recruit to avoid over-signing, he has not allowed for normal attrition, leaving our team without a full roster and insufficient depth at too many positions. And yes, I recognize that we might actually have a full roster at the beginning of this coming season; high time.
Fourth, and we have discussed this, lump all of the above with an admin that pinches a penny till it screams and what you are left with is a HC and admin shooting themselves in the foot and not doing a good job of filtering bad apples that don't fit well in our barrel of high standards.

1st of all, I have never been a big Richt fan from the start and got hammered by those who worshipped the ground he walked on the 1st 5 seasons or so..this article is more like an offseason filler than a serious article about where the program should be headed..
it doesn't mention the totally horrible school pres who has siphoned funds from the athletic dept..they never deilivered on the promise of an indoor practice field and basically have told Richt on numerous occasions to stuff it, as it were. it doesn't mention the first AD who's penchant for sending the team all over the place instead of concentrating on conference play like the Gators and Tiders were doing. It doesn't mention the fact that Richt felt the need to augment some of teh coaches salaries since, compared to other SEC schools, we were in the bottom half of the conference.
believe me, I wouldn't shed a tear if CMR left for whatever reasons on his own, but the question remains ...WHO WOULD REPLACE HIM?...and that, my co-posters is a scary propostion.
