re: If we win every remaining game do we keep Richt?

I think McGarity is paid to win, and this is the highest profile business unit under his responsibility.

It's on the board. I can't see him having any confidence in Richt. Any at all.

This level looks at the big picture which boils down to money. As long as Richt wins enough to keep the donations, etc. coming in then they don't really care. Will McGarity have confidence that CMR will beat Florida? Obviously not, but he does have confidence that Mark will have another winning season which is probably all that's actually required. I almost guarantee you there is no specific stipulation for CMR to win a NC or even the East during his contract period. In other words we are a team without specific goals and objectives to reach those goals.

Meanwhile coaches like Myer, Saban, Spurrier, etc. set goals for themselves and reach them. Richt in contrast I see pretty much as an underachiever and his teams are a direct reflection of his attitude. Don't get me wrong, I love CMR as a person and I like his composure/laid back demeanor but he simply doesn't have the drive it takes to build a championship team now that the coaching level in the SEC has risen above Mark's level of competence. As I stated about Murray, CMR is pretty much an example of the Peter Principle; he has maxed out his capability/competence and his max is not enough to win championships this day and age.
