I actually meant this year. Pruitt and Schottenheimer have now been here long enough to start making a difference. And, while we are cxurrently on pace to finish 8th this year, we lead for some VERY highly rated recruits that could easily move us into the top 5. (Hardman, Brown etc.) So, yes, I DO think the recruiting is showing signs of picking up.
i will give Schotty a pass but he is proving to be exactly what I thought he would be....incapable of fitting the system to the players on hand. It is only year one so we will see but his coming from the NFL told me when he was hired that he would be commited to a system that required certain players and he is not going to have those players at UGA because we are going to be the third or worse team every year in recruiting in the conference.
Pruit has proven through a year and a half to be one that has to have his players to be good instead of being good with the players he has. He is a bust at UGA....he would be great at a program where recruiting was at the highest level but not at a second tier program like UGA....

I think we have some talent and it is young and Pruitt would be a great coordinator if he had his pick of players...the problem is that he isn't going to have his pick of players at UGA because we will always be the 3rd or worse team in recruiting in the conference...so the players he needs will always be in Tuscaloosa or Baton Rouge or anywhere but Athens....and he is not able to fit the system to the player. Grantham was the exact same way. SChotty will prove to be also....
I really get confused and I'm not sure how to argue. On the one hand it is argued that with the talent level UGA gets we ought to be winning National Championships and at LEAST SEC Championships. Now we are hearing that we do not have the talent?

How so? What type of offense do you think he should be running with the talent available?

Don't all coaches need talent to perform well? Chavis had tremendous talent while at LSU. Muschamp had tremendous talent (on defense) while at Florida.

Seriously? So, you do not see improvement over Grantham? Pruitt has been here for a year and ALMOST a half. Don't you think we should give him the opportunity to get his players coached up before declaring him a bust? I saw improvement in year 1 and I see some improvement in year 2.

I didn't make that argument...we are the 5th or so best team in the conference on the field and in recruiting.
That is not to suggest that a good coach couldn't take that level of talent and coach to its strengths and mitigate its weaknesses and be highly succesful. The problem with that scenario is it would require a LOT of work...and who has time for that when there is missionary work to be done?

You are not giving coaching any respect....You can have all the good players you want, but you still have to coach them. What makes a great coach honestly, is the ability to coach up a less-than optimal set of guys.
We should be seeing improvement from week to week...we are in fact seeing regression. Coaching is lacking.
If he requires all 5*'s to get it done, then he isnt much of a coach tbh.

Do you have knowledge that Richt has been ignoring his duties as Head Coach in favor of doing "missionary work"?

Not necessarily. We got beat by a far superior Alabama team that was highly motivated. We got beat by a Tennessee team that is young, and is also showing improvement. Add to that, the Michel fumble and dropped easy pass....Sometimes players mess up and it has nothing to do with the coach. Alabama players make mistakes. Ohio State players make mistakes. You can go on and on.
Pinkel does more with less at Missouri. I still don't think he would do any better than Richt has done here.

Are we talking Saban here? because he has had the #1 recruiting class in the nation for the last 5 years and hasn't won the National Championship in the last 2-3. He simply isn't getting it done with all 5* talent, is he? Bad coach?

WE gave up 300 yards passign and 100 rushing to Dobbs at Tenn...fricking Dobbs at UT...thats not an improving team..thats a record setting day. thats a shitty defensive performance. The second half didn't see any fumbles, they just 100% couldn't get it done...no pass rush...bad coverage...god awful tackling. The defense SUCKED yesterday.

No...I'm saying if Pruitt requires 5* talent to field a good Defense,then we are fricked. He has to be able to get it done with what we have or he is worthless imo.

I understand what you are saying...but isn't that exactly what saban requires? 5* talent?

I want him to retire at his own volition and I'm ready for it to happen now.

Yes. The last 5 years he has the #1 recruiting classes. Why hasn't he won the National Championship the last two years? Bad coaching? They have the talent. They have the facilities. They have the money. They have the support. What reason could he possibly have for losing to Mississippi the last two years? A Mississippi team with far inferior talent, lesser facilities, less fan support.....?

Firing Richt would be a disaster. Given how poorly the roster is constructed right now we would not be truly competitive for 4-5 years after transfers and decommitments take their toll. I'm confident in the staff we have and like the fact that we aren't signing 17-20 player classes anymore. Let's get the '16 and '17 classes on campus and see what happens. He has to hold up his end of the deal, though, by making sure the '14-'17 classes actually stay on campus.

We could become a Tennessee if Richt up and left
