"Hopefully it is a win-win for both schools," said Richt, the former Hurricanes quarterback who spent 15 years with the Bulldogs before taking over at his alma mater in December 2015. "I know I'm very happy here and I'm sure everybody's happy with the job Kirby's doing."

quote:
"Coach Richt is a great coach and I respect everything he's done for me," said Georgia linebacker Devin Bellamy, who has played for both Richt and Smart. "He just knows how to get guys going. He teaches discipline and technique, the same thing we're teaching over here. He brought it to Miami and has those guys playing great football. I can't say anything bad about him."

quote:
"I think Coach Richt has a rejuvenated energy and he's done a good job down there," Smart said. "They're playing really hard and recruiting well. He's always done a tremendous job."

quote:
"I'm happy for Georgia," Richt said. "I'm happy for all the kids that I recruited, and I'm happy for all the guys I didn't recruit. You know, Georgia is a great place. It has a special place in the hearts of myself and my wife, and I'm all for them having a lot of success."

Just a nice feel-good article to end the BYE week. As I've said, I think Richt benefited from the fresh start as much as we did.

it really was a win/win for everybody, and that makes me happy. I hate Miami with a passion, but since Richt went there, I now look at them neutrally. I'm glad Smart is working out for us and Richt is doing well down there.

I wasn't happy with the end of the season timing leaving us without a coach during the bowl and critical recruiting season but overall it seems to have worked out well for both Georgia and Miami.

Change doesn't always have to be for crappy reasons. I can't pull for Miami, but I do pull for Richt who did give us some great times after a stretch of horrible football prior.
