The biggest problem with Richt is that he's trying to make Georgia the Florida State of the '90s but it hasn't been anywhere near as effective. He's brought all of the negative attributes of that program (heavily penalized, lots of arrests off the field) but not a lot of the good ones (great coaching staff, incredible recruiting). Also, Florida State was able to outathlete a lot of teams during the '90s ala USC during the last decade. It's extremely difficult to do that in today's SEC. Also, having two coaches in the same conference that is clearly better than you doesn't help. I still think Richt is a good coach but he needs to make some major changes to his coaching philosophy going forward.

No. Most everybody agrees that discipline was a MUCH larger problem before Richt arrived on campus.

Boy that's a stretch.

Most for driving scooters without the proper license or underage drinking. I can think of about 50 other things that athletes around the country are doing that are far worse than what ours routinely get in trouble for.

Van Gorder won the Broyles award. He left to become a college head coach and LBs coach in the NFL. Fabris was wanted by Oklahoma before deciding to stay. UT, LSU, AU, etc. have tried to steal Rodney Garner away from us. We just got a DC that Saban wanted at Miami and was good enough for Jerry Jones. As for recruiting, Richt has only finished outside the top 10 once in his career, and it was this year.
