I think Ohio state has lost 3 games in the last 3.67 seasons.

Ohio State's strength of schedule is 56

Alabama 2

UGA 25


Ohio State has not played a ranked team this year. They likely will play two ranked teams at the end of the season... Teams that are ranked in 13 and 14 at this time.

Didn'tr he quote health issues and wanting to spend more time with his family? Then he took one (maybe two) years off? It obviously wan't for health issues or wanting to spend more time with hsi family. I believe it was because he saw Saban building a force at Alabama, and he saw trouble from behaviour problems from players he recruited. He simply could not take the pressure from administration and fans. That's my opinion.


Why do you think he left Florida?

We aren't disagreeing on why Urban wanted to leave but you said UF pushed him out as if it were an example of how UF pushed out a great coach. The first mistake was actually comparing Richt or even putting him in the same regard as Meyer but the second was your implication that it was Florida who initiated his departure.

Urban bailed on UF, not the other way around. The two situations are not at all similar.

And what happened after that? They were embarrassed and didn't let it happen again. We don't see that from Georgia.

Ok, but you said they showed up in big games when they have them on their schedule. I'm just pointing out that they don't always.

Breaking news! Ohio St doesn't go undefeated every year! Did Ohio St show up in the biggest games of the season last year? Richt never could do that.

Some of the Disneys are worried about losing Eason. Richt has already had a 5 star #1 overall QB recruit and we won absolutely nothing with him in 3 seasons.

But they didn't show up in all their big games. That is my point. As a coach it's hard to keep your team up all season long instead of a few games.

...but you are smarter than them... Cause you know how to make the tough decisions. Even when your tough decisions have no bearing on the outcome. Stay the course my friend....

Look. You guys run around acting like UGA is the only team that loses to teams they should easily beat. When someone points out that everybody does that you want to change the narrative.

We get it that we lose TOO often to teams we should beat. We realize, and agree that we get beat badly sometimes when the game should be closer. We also realize thatw e do something very few other teams in the country does. Win 10 games regularly.

UGA has been playing football for something like 150 years. We have had 21 years in which we have won 10 games or more. 10 of those years were under Mark Richt.

The problem with hanging your hat on 10 wins is that FIVE of those are typically against Vandy, Kentucky and three cupcakes. Add to the fact that CMR usually owns Tech and Auburn, you're up to 7. Break out the champagne!

Hold on while I vomit.

That is why folks who are critical of the coaching staff and administration say that a grad assistant could win 7 games at Georgia. Ten wins doesn't mean shite if you don't win your division. Ten wins is totally hollow if you DO win the division and get blown out in the SECCG. Ten wins isn't good enough if you win the SEC, because then you have 3 losses and aren't even remotely considered for the CFP.

This program has the talent, resources, recruiting and fan base to be elite. Sadly, we don't have the coaching wherewithal to get it done, and we won't until the school gets some stones. It's not just enough to want to win. The administration has to buy in, too. I think we're getting closer with Morehead, but I'm not going to be confident that B-M is bought in until we ditch ADGM and get someone who will hire a thoroughbred HC who will take the program to the next level.

We now play 13-14 games a year, so the 10 win benchmark isn't the same as it used to be.

This is the problem here.

10 wins is good, I agree. We could be in a position much worse. But I bet that most of the wins come from beating teams with MUCH lesser talent that us.

Which of those wins come from out coaching our opponents? What happens when we play teams that recruit above us or are in the same playing field.

My most annoying thing about Mark Richt? We lose the big games. How many times have we been embarrassed on national TV?

While true, Vox, EVERY team plays cupcakes. Typically we playe fewer, though. We play GT every year and have played Clemson, Oklahoma State and several other Power 5 teams as OCC opponenets.

Can you name me the other teams in the SEC that schedules TWO Power 5 opponents as a apart of their 4 OCC games?

And that is why I would say they are foolish for saying that. Just ebcause he does it consistently does not make it easy.

True...and if 10 wins is all he ever got you would have a apoint. However, we do , from time to time, win 11 or 12.

The program has been around for how long and we have never really been elite. What makes you think we would do better now? All of a sudden our administration is going to go after a top level coach after not doing it for 150 years?

And you would be correct. And that statement would be correct of most teams.

Who knows? I mean, Florida, Tennessee usually outrecruits us, but we have beatem fairly well.

GT beat us last year, but I don't believe Paul Johnson outcoached us, do you? Sometimes a team loses because the players make physicla or mental errors. I can name a couple of games this year and in the past several years in which coaching had nothing to do with a few of our losses.

South Carolina immediately comes to mind, since they had UNC to start the season, and they close with Clemson. You're only going to find that for SEC teams who have in-state rivals who are in another conference. UGA, SCar, Florida are unique in their rivals not being in the SEC.

This is true, and I knew someone would bring this up. Check and see how many teams will win 10 games this year.....probably not as many as you think. So it also isn't as easy as many of you think.
