Not a bad article for BR.

Article is a summary of the entire Richt era. Meanwhile teams like Mizzo, FSU, and UCLA have steamrolled by us in national relivence. Blame can be spread far and wide but the buck stops wtih the man in charge.

It depends who writes the article. Andrew Hall is pretty good and pretty rational.

Amen, brother.
Imbalanced recruiting. I have called it gaps in positional recruiting, but defer to the better verbiage.
That is why when we are loaded at RB, the Oline sucks, and when all of the front 7 D looks good, we start 3 to 4 rookies at Dback. On and on and on.
The year we got Mason, for a LONG time the strategy was to not sign a QB, unbelievable as that may be.
Imbalanced recruiting, endless problems with coordinators, satisfaction with a "good" season and poor special teams gets you exactly what we have.
Not even a FLA bowl this year boys, buckle up for the Music City, Liberty or Independence. Just hope we don't draw Central Florida again. I would hate to take that beating twice in 4 years.

No matter how you slice it, it boils down to coaching. I have been looking back at Missouri's recruiting classes:
2013 #41 ranked class
2012 #31
2011 #48
2010 #20
Most of their classes are composed of 3 star players with maybe 1 or 2 four stars mixed in. Meanwhile Georgia has top 10 classes most seasons. The difference: Missouri's coaches seem to be doing more with less. We've seen this before with Boise St. and WVU. Missouri's players stick with the team and are better developed while we lose many of our recruits to various forms of attrition not the least of which is top players jumping to the NFL leaving us with insufficient depth. It seems that at times there might be an advantage in recruiting players that are not top pro prospects because they stay with your team and play at a mature level as Juniors and Seniors.

No excuse...just ask Alabama.

I like the end when he says Grantham has "no more excuses". I read this at work and I was like this sums up a lot of what I've been feeling for a few years.

Likewise. Grantham's on the job training is over. Time to step up or hit the road.

There is nothing in this article that the board has not discussed ad nauseum. I suggested strategic recruiting earlier, but, as was pointed out, how to you calculate attrition.

Hitting the road would be good.

Agree. Saban maintains a full roster to reload with every season regardless. Meanwhile we are routinely down 10 or more scholarship players and are rebuilding instead of reloading.

Agree with it being coaching, but I don't agree with it being Saban is better at it. Saban is using the rules better. Over the last 5 years Saban has brought in 25 more players than Richt has which is a big advantage. When a player that Saban recruited isn't living up to expectations he finds a reason to get rid of him, Richt won't do that. Also look at how many extra coaches Alabama has that they simply call analysts. Saban is stretching and breaking every single rule in the book, if you think that makes him a better coach fine, I just think it makes him better at using the rules to his advantage. Sorry for the rant.

Saban's the best coach in the game,until the NCAA finds some proof of cheating on him, and I think that he doesn't cheat. Richt can and should learn from him before it's too late. Time is ticking on Richt. If we lose to the gayturds, kantucky, the barners and the **** jackets then he might get pink slipped. We lookd so bad at Vandy that many wondered if we could win another game this year.
