I don't see how anyone at Ga.lets a guy like that go.

It wouldn't have had to come down to luck if they'd placed greater emphasis on the defensive side of the ball the past few seasons. A healthy Georgia has had a championship caliber offense the past 2 years, but they've lacked a championship caliber defense or strong special teams.

Exactly. Hopefully the addition of Pruitt will do wonders for our defense after watching Todd Grantham suck for too many years.

Explain to me how there wasn't some luck involved in that play. It was an incredible play, but also lucky.

I know. All the Big 6 members have struggled on 1 or both sides of the ball the past few seasons. Alabama has had offensive inconsistency and struggles versus the pass in 2010, 2012, and 2013. Georgia has had problems with defense in general. Aside from 2012, Tennessee has struggled hard on both sides of the ball. Auburn has struggled on defense, and their offense has had serious down years. Florida has struggled on offense. LSU struggled on offense up to last season, then the defense struggled.

You're asking a barner to separate luck and skill. Not happening.

Auburn came closer to winning the BCS two other times than Georgia ever did. This is on top of the BCS championship Auburn actually won. Auburn went undefeated in 2004 and gave up the winning touchdown to Florida State with 13 seconds remaining in the actual championship game in 2013. Georgia never went undefeated during the BCS era and they never made it to the championship game either

This is not relevant in the slightest. But keep sounding like a complete idiot.

It seems to me that the elephant in the room is that had the new playoff been in place at any point in the Richt's tenure at UGA; this conversation would be completely moot. Richt and his teams have had a struggle to finish within the top 2 during the BCS era. However finishing in the top 4 while on a hot streak, seems to be something he has been able to accomplish numerous times. I think with the playoff now in place, you could see Richt get to a title sooner rather than later. Of course, this is just one mans opinion, and I am sure, not the opinion of the community at large.

Richt has certainly had some underachieving seasons, but I do enjoy all of the SEC teams that trash on him. Exactly one SEC team has a winning record vs. Richt (Florida).
Other than that one team (that Richt currently has three consecutive wins against) every other SEC team has failed to post a winning record vs. Richt.

There are some super tards in this thread, but the bottom line is that the OP is right and there really hasn't been any point where Richt clearly should have been fired. The ONLY time you can even make the SLIGHTEST case would be after 2010. I know for a fact that Richt was given a mandate by the AD that he had to win a certain number of games in 2011 or he was going to be fired. We ended up winning 10 games and the east. The following year we competed for a title. So basically no, there has been no point where you can undeniably say "Richt should have been fired at such and such time".
It's different with a guy like Chiz, because everyone knew he only was successful because of his QB and his OC. And in between he had 2 unbelievably lousy seasons. Richt has never had a season even approach as bad as auburn was the past few years so it's not a clear cut black and white type of deal.

Chizik had 1 season where he won fewer than 8 games and he was fired after that season. Richt had a losing season in 2010 and finised with 4 or 5 losses last year

There's a big difference between 6-6 and a bowl loss and 3-9 with no bowl at all while going winless in the conference.
If Richt went 3-9 this season, he would be fired.

Same number as Richt, and Richt has about ten more seasons unders his belt

Not sure why I am bothering to respond to this because of who wrote it, but here goes...
Those examples are pretty big apples to oranges comparisons. Everyone that knows anything about the game could see that Chizik's team that year just completely quit playing for him and there was no sign of it ever changing during his tenure. Of the things you could say about Richt's teams, he has never had a team just give up hope. He may have been out schemed in games here and there, but his teams as a whole show up and play for him.

Chiz's 4 year stint:
09- won 8 games, but went 3-5 in SEC play
10- undefeated behind one of the 3-5 GOATs in league history and the OC who is currently the HC
11- won 8 games, lost the 3 biggest games on the schedule
12- 3-9

Well we had 8 wins last year, so by your criteria that's no big deal. And when the sample size is 13 years instead of 4 you can pull more data, obviously.
My whole point was, Richt has consistently won 10 games so we know that a year like 2010 or 2013 are the exceptions, not the rule. With chiz, 2010 was certainly the exception, not the rule. For AU it was easy after 2012 to say "look, this just isn't going anywhere". There hasn't been any point where UGA could say the same thing to richt.
