Was there ever any proof that Richt planned that throughout the week?

Or was it determined as a spur of the moment thing.

Probably been discussed before, but I don't remember it

Do you really think Richt could coach and plan something that coordinated and effective?

I read an article last night that said he wanted the players on the field to celebrate. I think it just got out of hand. From what I read He did say he wanted a celebration though.

I bet he has regretted that move in the long run.

In a shocking turn of events, Richt had to admit that his players didn't understand what he was asking of them and that they did the wrong thing on the field because of the miscommunication.

He wanted a celebration. He didn't want the bench to clear.

Basically, he just wanted the offense to go nuts.

it gets discussed like once a week for the past 8 years. Read this real close, and bookmark it to boot. Ready? Ok here goes.

Richt told them he wanted to see them fired up. So he told the offense (ie, the 11 players starting) that he wouldnt' care if they celebrated to the point that it drew a PF flag. And if you'll notice, knowshon and one of the linemen do a little "take my picture" type of thing. The bench, unbeknowknst to everyone else in the entire stadium, took it upon themselves to run on the field. When they did that richt was just as surprised as everyone else. In summary= Richt told the 11 players on the field to celebrate, he did not tell the bench to run on the field.

There, end of story.

The long-standing rumor/legend from our side is that he told the offense to celebrate when they scored, and apparently he just wanted the 11 on the field to charge down to the end zone, and celebrate with the ball carrier. However, he was not clear about it just being the starting 11 so when the entire offensive side cleared the sidelines, the defense followed and it turned into an entire team celebration. In the end, no one except the coaches and players will ever really know, and I don't think any of them have confirmed or denied any specific story.

I'm happy he decided to thug it up. Led to the timeout game.
