The simple fact is that the coaching the SEC is way above where it was in 2002-2004.
Saban. Meyer. Spurrier. - three of the best coaches in the modern era came into the conference at about the same time, and since then, UGA hasn't been as good.
But probably the biggest issue for Richt is Florida. Meyer came in and restored Florida to power. Losing to UF didn't matter when Zook was here, because UF lost so many other games UGA could still win the division.
Not so after Meyer arrived.
We'll see if UGA can comeback with some new coaches.

slayer, I think our slide is a mix of both my first post and the coaching. There is NO DOUBT the coaching has increased in the conference since 2004. But it is also a FACT that our coaching, fundamentals, discipline, etc. took a steep and steady decline starting in 2005 as well. Add both of those together and it's not a good thing. But hell, we still finished #2 in 2007 and went 10-3 and finished top 10 in 2008. We've just also had some uncharacteristically bad years thrown in as well. Our talent is there, no mistaking that. Look at our recruiting rankings. The coaching is what has held us down, and that coaching is now gone. Like I said, within 2 or 3 years we'll be back to our previous form.
