You raise another interesting point Slo. Let's say we have two more subpar years and Richt is fired, as some on here like to think. Who would we get that's better? We wouldn't take a shot on an unproven young guy, because apparently the only thing we'd be concerned abt at that point is a guy who can/has won a title. Who would see the success Richt has had, who has now been fired, and want to follow him? Nobody. There is not one coach in America who is PROVEN (I'm talking like a Saban or Meyer type coach) who would leave their current situation to go to Athens if Richt was fired. They would know that if they didn't win it all in a few years they'd be gone too.

Throw serious money at Saban and he'd leave. Of course the buckets would go out at Walmart immediately to collect to raise his salary, but he'd leave for enough money. Any coach would I would think.

I think part of it is that UGA is living in the shadow of UF. The downside is that UGA is considered a great football program on the edge of elitism. MR will keep UGA at it's current status. I think keeping him around longer will at some point build a solid respectful following because of his youth. Building doubt from your fanbase will translate to recruits inwhich the state of GA seems to be getting picked off by several SEC schools. IMO, keep MR for a while longer and be patient for UF to be down and then ya'll will need to step up. Sooner or later an SECCG win will translate to a shot at the MNC title. Good luck unless you are facing us WG.
