If Tubs didnt fail miserably in 2008, he might still be our coach

TT did not have the overwhelming support of administrators, the president & the big money boosters

Richt has that support

I wouldn't go that far. I think Tubs was burnt out by the end of his tenure and don't think he had it in him to hold off Saban. I think he could have bounced back but what would have happened to our football program during that period and would we have ever recovered?

That being said, I would have welcomed Tubs back with open arms after 2012 Chizik and I think he would have come back and given Saban a run for his money. If you see him now he has his shite eating grin back and I think he's ready to kick butt

Thank you... It's not message board mealy mouths that run their know-nothing motors like 99% of the people on here who matter. It's the 1% of big money boosters that matter at every school...

Richt is...

126-45 in 13 seasons... basically averaging 10 wins a season for a decade & a half...

One losing season in a transition year in 13 years...

#1 in Top 10 Finishes (SEC teams) (LSU & UGA 8); 4th Nationally.
#1 in Ranked Finishes (SEC teams) (LSU & UGA 11)
#4 in BCS Bowls (SEC teams) (FL 1st)
#1 in SEC Division Titles (Ties w/ LSU at 5)
#2 in SEC Championships (LSU 1st – UGA, FL, AL, AU tied at 2)
#2 in Overall Record (SEC teams – LSU 1st)
#2 in SEC Record (LSU 1st)
#2 vs. Ranked teams at game time (LSU 1st)
#5 vs. Top 10 Ranked teams (FL 1st; AU, LSU, AL)
#4 vs. Ranked teams end of year (LSU 1st; AU, FL)
#5 vs. Top 10 teams end of year (FL 1st; AU, LSU, AL)
#1 in Football Revenue (forbes; USA today; Business Week)
#1 or #2 in NFL players on active rosters (depending on the week)

Yup... Fire him cause he hasn't won a Mythical Natty yet... ...

Any school who fired a guy with these credentials would never find a better replacement...


And here's how UGA ranks in resources vs. the rest of the SEC... (shite outta Richt's control)...

How UGA stacks up vs. SEC teams in RESOURCES:

#6 Head Coach Salary (multiple sources/coacheshotseat.com)
#6 Coaching Staff salaries (USA today salary database;3 other sources – maybe
#7 Amount spent on Football (or maybe #8 behind A&M; AL, AU, LSU, FL, SCe, ARK)
#6 Facilities
(#4 Stadiums; #6 Weight room; #7 Locker Rooms; #7 Players Lounge; #8 Indoor Facility; #7 Hydrotherapy/Training; #5 Offices. Source; saturdaydownsouth series)
#6 Size of Football Staff (maybe #7 – Arkansas could be ahead of UGA)
#7 Size of Recruiting Department (team websites; ESPN reports)
3.75 = avg quality of recruiting classes (3.75 SEC teams had better avg. ‘star’ rating) that year
#12 avg. number of Players signed (only FL and Vandy below us of the 14)
(AL signed 29 more than UGA just under Saban in 6 classes; AU 41 more overall; SCe 34 MORE overall, 20 MORE under Spurrier)
