About the 2012 argument I do think we did get some luck into that scenario. Same luck other championship teams are afforded. After getting completely annihilated in Columbia, which in and of itself was totally inexcusable, we had no shot at the title until KSU and Oregon all go down in one night giving us a mulligan. We got our shot and when the opportunity arose we gave up 350 yds rushing.
Idk, maybe it's just me who sees it that way but we've been given second chances. It's Georgia who has failed to capitalize.
His tenure speaks for itself IMO and I believe with ever fiber in my being we will not win a title with Mark Richt but he will be our coach until at least 2016-17. And if they promote from within I will personally burn down Butts-Mehre.

Absolutely did. just like Bama did when Kansas St. and Oregon got beat.

Yep. As did Alabama. the program you want to be just like.

I understand your frustration...but I believe with every fiber in my being that Richt can, and will get us there. So, who is right? It all boils down to an opinion.
Out of curiosity. If Richt wins the Natty next year, will you STILL be saying he should be fired? Why, or why not?

Yeah, we did get some luck to get into the picture, but that's how most teams do it every year. It's not often that you get an undefeated team in the SEC. Even Alabama lost to A&M last season and still went on to win it all. Shoot, they lost to LSU the year before during the regular season and still got a rematch in the championship game (unheard of) even though they didn't make it to their conference championship.
Luck is usually what really determines the national championship, because rarely do you see a team dominate every single opponent they play. Often times you see a great team get upset in one game that they should have won that causes them to miss out entirely. Oregon has done that a lot recently, but other teams can say the same thing.
There's a lot that happens during a season that can make or break your hope for a title. Sometimes you can make it by losing one game, but only if you lost to a good team, and only if you lose early enough to rebound in the polls. Timing is important. If you do win all your games, you have to hope your SOS was good enough for the voters and computers to put you in the #1 or #2 slot. In the SEC, you have to wind up conference play by playing the best team (record-wise) from the other division. So, you have to beat a potentially tough team just to make it to the title game against a team that might not have a conference championship (ND comes to mind). It's not easy.
Because I believe so much about winning the national title relies on luck, I don't consider it being complacent when I support CMR for winning so many times and giving our program national attention, a few conference championships, and lots of bowl wins. Do I want a national championship? Hell yes I do! But, I don't think that's on the back of CMR to win for us, necessarily. I don't think bringing in a different coach will necessarily increase our chances of winning one, either, because there is no secret formula. You can do things to increase your chances for victory, but sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way and it costs you a chance at the title. I don't think bringing in Kelly or anyone else will do much to improve things.

Quite the longwinded response for your simple agenda.
I read this board for two weeks before I could post(took forever to gain access), and I saw you post many things, many things that conflict with your name on here. Many post consisted of low brow personal attacks on Richt, his faith, and his staff.
I think everyone on here knows your MO, you're very transparent about it. Quit trying to potray your agenda as genuine, because it's not.
