Georgia fans, what are your TRUE thoughts on Richt

Underachiever but still a damn good coach

He is a good coach. You don't average 9-10 wins a year by accident, especially in the SEC. He keeps putting UGA in position, he will get the luck to fall his way eventually. And for all the Richt naysayers; I would like to know who UGA would hire (that is available) that would do what he has done.

There is also something to be said for the unwavering stability he provides. I think you could poll 100 UT fans right now, and 99% would kill for that right now.

the next Mack Brown, Fulmer, Bobby Bowden, etc (without a championship of course)

Really good, not elite. Don't think it's worth it to try our luck with someone new because we could go down a lot easier than go up.

I like him but I still wish he was gone. However, I see the dumpster fire that is UT and it makes me really gun shy about it.

Yep. That's pretty much how I feel about him. Like someone said, I think he provides a lot of stability and you would rather have that than not now what to expect with a new coach.

A coach who has a bloated record due to beating on the many bottom feeders we typically get due to being in the SEC east + always scheduling Tech.
He however the last few years has proven he can not win the big game and his dumbass decision to not let Murray spike the ball directly caused us to lose to Bama and not go to the national title game. That alone should have got his arse fired.

frick Richt for ruining our best chance to win it all since 1980 due to his usual shitting in the big game. We will never again win the SEC under him and certainly never go to the national title game.

In short he has had his time to prove he can get the job done. frick Mark Richt.

I was born in Georgia if that counts. He has had his chances and just lacks that get it done attitude. Too quick to go to the excuse rather than having the emotional intelligence to look past the uncontrollable and remain focused on the prize. Needs a top tier DC to go with the O they have right now. Like the Braves of old - they had great hitting or great pitching, but never both.

Mark is a quality man, no doubt, and he wins a lot of games but he is honestly a conference champ or two coach and might, might sneak out a crystal ball eventually. But not going to compete for that with regularity.

Everyone blames Richt or Murray for not spiking the ball. Why didn't Georgia go for 2 on their last touchdown? If they failed, they still would have needed a touchdown to win the game. Also, let's not forget Georgia's defensive performance and Alabama's gifts. Saban mismanaged the clock before halftime, there was the back shoulder pass intercepted in the end zone, there was a PI flag thrown that was overturned because the ball was considered tipped. After that PI call didn't go through, Georgia blocked a long range field goal, caught it, and returned it for a touchdown.

tl;dr Georgia only scored 21 on the Alabama defense. Alabama put 32 on yours and left a few more on the field.

He brought the butt-cut back...
