I'm not!

I'm with the people that say you might really regret firing him. I don't think you'll ever get crystal with him but it's not very fun out here in the coaching question mark world. At least you know what you have with Richt and it isn't all that bad, it's just you're seeing other people around you winning ships.

And I'm not being a smartass because he's lit up Auburn & GT in his tenure.

ETA: He's impossible to hate even for me who hates everything UGA

filthy filthy rich man with his buyout

you obviously don't know much about his buyout. Can't disagree with the filthy rich part.

Yet one of the major changes is that the new contract lowers the buyout to be paid to Richt if he's fired after the 2012 season. From UGA's standpoint, the school would owe Richt $4.8 million for firing him after this upcoming season. That figure drops to a total of $2.4 million after the 2013 season and then would decrease $800,000 annually each of the following two years of the contract.

He won't be fired after this season. 2.4 is chump change after 2013.

So...bama fans realize richt is mediocre as frick. UF and LSU folks think we should keep him. And all the other guys with teams in the shitter right now think we are lucky to have him .

Got it.

Mediocre and winning an average of 10 games a year isn't too bad.

I mean, the guy might go 11-1 this year...

Who else would do better? Seriously?

It's amazing how fast ya'll turn on him after even 1 loss.

Come on... UGA fans just can't accept reality. Which everyone else knew before the season started which is that you weren't going to go undefeated with THAT offensive line. Regardless of who was coaching.

Heck, if UGA hadn't hit a home run recruiting Marshal and Hurley, you would have already lost at least 1 other game.

Be happy with what you have. 5-1, looking at 10-2 minimum barring a big upset, enjoy your pretty much guarateed 10 win season.

yea where as when AU and Arky were fresh off big seasons then it was "haha, keep richt forever!"

i think the fear of the unknown paralyzing a university into making no decision is the biggest puss move you could possibly pull. sure, everyone here who thinks should stay, we may make the wrong hire. we may have to rebuild. hell, we may hire kiffin by accident and have to do it again and you know what i'd do it. why? because at least i'd have the satisfaction of knowing my university, my fellow fans, and everyone expects more than what we are getting. if you want to be too scared to make the correct decision then fine but then at that point we may as well admit we are no longer contending for national titles and go ahead and take our badge as the new South Carolina/Arkansas.

just think about all the most successful programs of the last decade or so, hell think of top 500 companies, and tell me they keep their CEO/Head Coach because he's a good guy and they dunno if they can do better. it's that dynamic attitude that keeps things fresh and whether you're heading in the wrong or right direction you at leats have direction. Richt has not and will not improve. we have the same problems every year and by the time he finally fixes them other holes show up. at this point we basically are the slutty bitch who keeps getting our arse whipped by our BF but since we dunno if we can do better we just sit there knowing that our lives will have nothing but disappointment with no end in sight.

Which coach in their right mind accept a job that fired the previous coach after the record he has?

Nobody really good would. You would have to be lucky hiring an up and coming coach that would get the job done.

if our candidates wanna only look at box scores then fine. our expectations aren't any higher than LSU, Bama, UF or AU. in fact you all have told us they are lower. 10 wins =/= 10 wins every time. i gurangoddamntee you that other coaches know exactly who richt is and they know what the georgia program is. taking a job at UGA runs that risk but that's also why they'd more than likely get a top 3-5 contract and a hefty buy out.

basically you described a SEC coaching position. none of this matters because at 10-2 richt will not be fired anyway

complacent. that is what has led to the downfall of Georgia's and it's inability to resurface. we are being buried by our own staff inadequacies yearly. we were ahead of the curve ealry 2000s but at this point teams have hired better coaches, instituted better philosophies/formations/tactics, become better at conditioning and recruiting where as Georgia has become incredibly reactionary. we used to be at the forefront and we were the innovators. we were the program that surprised and hit you in the mouth. now we wait, try and copy, and then act surprised when we fail. the game has passed richt by and his unyielding loyalty to his assistants have led to a complacency at Georgia that has led this program to where it invariably ends up every god damn year: mediocrity.
