if our candidates wanna only look at box scores then fine. our expectations aren't any higher than LSU, Bama, UF or AU. in fact you all have told us they are lower. 10 wins =/= 10 wins every time. i gurangoddamntee you that other coaches know exactly who richt is and they know what the georgia program is. taking a job at UGA runs that risk but that's also why they'd more than likely get a top 3-5 contract and a hefty buy out.
basically you described a SEC coaching position. none of this matters because at 10-2 richt will not be fired anyway

University is entirely too satisfied with 10 win seasons.
Y'all folks in the Atlanta area here the falcons commercial about "satisfied"?
Satisfied shouldn't be allowed to grab at helmet at UGA but satisfied is the entire coaching staff

I get UGA's situation with Richt. It's just a matter of being realistic about what is behind Door #2. Odds are pretty strong that you go backwards before you go forwards if you get rid of him so just be realistic about that. If you bring in a disciplinarian for instance he is going to lose a lot of current players who didn't sign up for that and love Richt.
UT fired Fulmer and that certainly hasn't been great for them so far. Texas fired Fred Akers in the '80s with a very similar resume to Richt and took over a decade to recover. A&M fired RC in '02 and is just now starting to get back. It is really rare to replace a successful coach with a more successful coach. As I noted on another thread UT did it with Fulmer after Majors but the list is short.
So I guess are you willing to risk a decade of suckage by replacing Richt? If you don't think that UF, UT, Bama, and USC won't be waiting like vultures to rip into your recruiting base you are delusional. The margin for error you are looking at is very small. Not saying you should or shouldn't do it but be realistic about it.
BTW, Richt easily has a Top 10 coaching resume right now. Who are you going to replace him with (pretty sure Saban and Miles aren't available).
