re: Splitting the Richt Era in 2 by offensive line recruiting

Saban makes sure that he earns the money that he's paid.

Actually Richt did, too. Look at a lit of salaries for coaches and Richt made less than many coaches that had less success. One example would be the Iowa coach.

Of course, the argument could be made he would have made more money had he had more success, but the point still stands that less successful coaches were out there that made more money.

I think MOST coaches (if not all) earn their pay. (I may be misunderstanding you) They put in 12 hour days 6 days a week 12 months a year....as a whole. Don't get me wrong. They make good money. But the stress, pressure they endure is unbelievable. they are second guessed, criticized publicly by the media, fans and players on a regular basis. then, normally there is conflict of egos between coaches. The Pruitt thing was extreme, but not entirely unusual.

Changed to reflect what I meant to say. I had to go somewhere and got in a hurry. Sorry for the confusion.

Richt was a worse coach than all of the coaches who were better than him. But, to be fair, I have to also give him credit for being a better coach than all of the coaches who were worse than him.

Excellent points!

I'll see if I can find a list of what coaches made. I think you'll see what I meant. (How embarrassing!)
