Anybody else wondering when McGarrity makes his mark on the program

Ok. So, not a typical fire Richt thread, but related obviously. And definitely tl;dr

When McGarrity came aboard there was a good bit of talk about changes coming and setting the bar higher for the football program. There was alot of talk at the time about the temperature of Mark Richts seat around college football as a whole. Not just the internet fringe element

Well since then its been business as usual. I know ADs answer to trustees and boosters but these guys legacies at schools are directly tied to their hires and the success of the respective sport programs they preside over. I know Richt is a beloved figure in the state of Georgia but when is it time for change just for the sake of taking the program in a different direction?

This season is another bust. I would find it hard to hear an argument at this point that CMR is going to have a team in contention for a national title now during his career here. And my understanding is thats what you play for. Not 10 win seasons or all time career wins.

My guess is CTG takes another job this offseason. He doesnt have a particularly stationary track record career wise and im thinking he's not loving his CFB experience these days. So youll likely have that transition to deal with and the couple seasons of excuses that buys

We've squandered a handful of years that have seen the weakest i can remember the division being in a looong time. And the last two seasons before this one we played the softest schedules youre ever going to see here.

I dont really understand the argument that with change comes the chance that youll risk decline. "You might end up becoming Tennessee!" Well yeah. You might end up becoming Alabama too. Pulled out of mediocrity by a coach with a tireless competitive nature that uses all the resources at his disposal and has us in the top 3 recruiting every year. Dont tell me its not possible because it is

You dont have to hate Mark Richt or degrade what hes done here to want to see the program go in a different direction. Hes had a respectable run. But you cant deny that CFB is changing. Youre likely about to see an end to outright SEC dominance. Theres alot of great football minds around the country doing some impressive shite and playing an entertaining as hell brand of football that these high school kids love to play.

You know what youre going to get with Richt at this point. The guy has probably made north of 40-50 million since he moved to Athens all things considered. Thats alot of fricking money. Weve stood beside the guy through many seasons of embarrassing off field issues, undisciplined teams, coordinators taking all the wrath of the fans, seen other programs make huge strides in building relationships with in state HS coaches across the state etc. So how can anyone say we cant possibly do better with the right hire?
