What has not been brought up in this discussion is that it isn't just a money gap, which is gone into to great effect in a red and black article form a couple of years ago.

From the R&B article...

Those numbers concern total coaching salaries for overall athletic spending; the numbers for football, particularly in the SEC, are far more daunting. Between 2005 and 2011, the SEC median for football coaching salaries per football player (which includes salaries, benefits and bonuses paid by the university and contractually guaranteed amounts paid by third parties) increased by 81 percent, nearly double that of the FBS median.

Georgia’s spending on football coaches is dwarfed by its conference’s median. UGA increased its spending on Mark Richt and his staff by only 36 percent over the seven year period, a significantly lower percentage of change compared to that of Alabama or Florida — 144 and 142 percent, respectively.

If you can't see the correlation of how the amount we spend affects our performance since 2005 (UGA's last SECC) vs the rest of the conference your just a blind CMR hater. I woulda been ok with him gone after '10. But working under the constraints of the Foundation & the school's spending, academic & discipline policies I honestly don't know who can do better?...
