Richt v McGarity tension just maybe the conversation has gone.. "stop losing to frickING S CAROLINA and ill throw you some bones. now run along, boy"

That is my summation if there is any truth to these rumors. This is exactly why Mike Bobo was not counter offered, if true.....because there was nothing in the programs performance of late to suggest that a significant raise was in order. Yes, we set records of scoring BUT if you look across the CFB landscape you see that no one plays defense any longer....we have all turned into the big 12 to some degree. If Richt has a sore valine because he isn't given the resources that other schools are given the the answer is really pretty simple....either do more with less ( there are any number of schools who do this) or go somewhere else where he would get the kind of support he feels he needs to be successful.

If you look at the body of work you will see several glaring examples of Richt teams being woefully unprepared.....un-motivated against Florida? Blown out in bowl games or simply not showing up at all on a national stage....consistently shitting the bed in games that are significant..... This is as much a piece of Richts legacy at UGA as winning 2 SEC titles, in a period when winning the SEC east in particular hasn't exactly been that difficult. If Richt wishes to make the case that he is entitled to more support from the University then his best bet is to make that case on the field where he was hired to make such statements. If he is basing any ideas of a lack of support from the University on his track record he is simply a complacent employee who has apparently reached the apex of success in his position and knows it. Want more support? Want an indoor practice facility? Then quit having teams that embarrass the University and more importantly the donors who pay the bills. It would be amazing to see how quick support would be forthcoming if the results on the field had been what they should have been....

You've got a chicken and egg problem here

I'm far from fascinated with him. Just using him as a fairly realistic example

That is impossible to answer, as only MB can say that for sure.

Really it's more about the principle than the actual dollar amount to me. Bobo is like the 40something highest paid OC in the country (which is absurd just on the face of it), the fact that we didnt' even TRY to counter offer is almost like a slap in the face to him. It's like mcgarity gave him the "well....bye" from tombstone.

I personally don't think he would have stayed for anything less than matching what CSU offered but the fact that we didn't even bother, says a lot.

Is Georgia ready for that?

McGarity just threw up in his mouth a lil' reading that...

if, when he told UGA about the initial interview, they had offered him $1M and a 3 year deal, I'd guess he wouldn't have even met with CSU.

I agree with that. I mean just even the tiniest show of support to let him know he was wanted/appreciated would've been nice. I mean what possible reason would there be to not counter someone with bobo's credentials aside from the fact that ADGM just doesn't like him for some reason, or is just cheap as all hell? I can't think of any.

It's going to be virtually impossible to find someone out there that is as proven as bobo. And we're probably going to hire them at roughly the same price we were paying bobo anyway.

Is this the thread where we make up stories about what could've happened and then get mad at the people in our made-up world?
