I used to be a nega Richt nega Dawg but after paying close attention over the years I couldn't have asked for a better coach for us during his tenure. People say we underperform and some years we definatly have but we average right about where our recruiting says we should average and he does a good job at least keeping us in the East race most years which in the SEC is a good testament to him. We all want a national title but so do the other 100+ teams and we have been in the conversation a few times so I have started to admire his body of work. I also like the fact that recently he has been willing to change it up and try new things and adapt. When he seemed reluctant to give up the offense and change coordinators he grew really sour on me so the last couple of years has been refreshing to see some new things and some exciting hires. Getting Pruitt was fun and the program seems to be motoring on holding a good status as a Top 10 - 15 range program. I can live with that.

I feel largely the same way and agree with what you've said here, Richt is a good coach with a good body of work. The thing that has always bugged me though are the inexplicable blowouts we have, such as 2007 Tennessee, 2008 Bama, and 2012 USCe all left me questioning the motivational abilities of Richt and the staff. We're not going to win them all, but we should at least be in the game every time.
