Richt often talked about the importance of player leaders. Remember how unmotivated Uga was heading into uf in 2012? Shawn Williams fixed that.


Do you think Richt had something to do with that? I would be willing to bet that he talked with Williams and strongly hinted that it was needed badly. Obviously a guess on my part, but I was around football long enough to make that guess.

I doubt Richt wanted Williams to call out half the defense publicly for being soft. It was a risky move and not really Richt's MO. He probably would have rather it been handled privately at that time. Fortunately it worked out.

It would be a interesting case study on locker room chemistry if, say, Trent Thompson or Roquan Smith did that now as sophomores.
