Get comfortable being uncomfortable. That's what we need to do.

Our aversion to getting uncomfortable as a program is exactly why Richt has not reached his potential as a coach.

Richt was the perfect fit for a program like Georgia that has always been close to greatness but never crossed the line. His entire career has been one of being satisfied with being nearly good enough .... he is the ULTIMATE back up QB. And apparently he is able to sale that mentality to others (he has done it at least twice with QB's here at UGA).

If Richt had been told 7 or so years ago that he was going to get better or get gone get better he would have done....but there has never been a real threat of his being fired or forced out and so he is comfortable and complacent....and it starts at the foundation of the UGA athletic programs....always flirting with greatness, rarely achieving it (I know there are some exceptions but the money sports are all pretty bad)
