re: Richt v McGarity tension

Like you said, this is the best era of UGA football. With that said, is it Richt underachieving, or is it UGA? Where does the problem actually lie, the man who is currently the "underachiever" or the institution that has underachieved forever?

No doubt it is the program....and that is why Richt is here in the first place. UGA is a second tier at best program...always has been, ways will be unless something drastic changes. Mark Richt fits the UGA mold to a T....he is a class guy who is not at the top of his game....just like the program.

My point is this....if he had been the type who over achieved, who did more with less other than simply doing what was expected with what he has, I think that the culture would have changed at UGA. He didn't, it didn't, and here we are.

Having said that giving him more now, at this point in the game, is not likely going to make him over achieve...in fact it is a pretty safe bet that things would stay about the same. The administration has a responsibility to make the most of everything within their control....giving more to a program which has done nothing to merit any more would be irresponsible.
