other than pointing out your team's two failures your post is full of baloney. I think uga is indeed a team that comes close but can't quite get over the hump. maybe they just haven't gotten the breaks; you know, like auburn got last year.

I've posted about this many, many times..but there's no need to anymore. Everyone will just accuse me of "making excuses" or trying to rationalize losses, so I just nod and move along.

We had Tubby Smith who was a fantastic coach, but we didn't pay to keep him. Chalk that up to the front office. We later got Jim Harrick, who was one of the best basketball coaches in america. Then he cheated and set our program back decades. We also spent $30M on a state of the art facility that at the time was one of the tops in the country.
We WANT to be good at basketball, and we have made strides, we just haven't gotten that grand slam hire. I'm FAR more critical towards basketball, and I think everyone can see Fox isn't a final 4 type coach. But we'll keep him because he doesn't suck.

We were the 2nd best SEC program (behind LSU) from 2000-2010. We just held onto perno way too long. Our stadium is small yes, but its location doesn't really support massive upgrades. You'd essentially have to tear it down and move it, or re-orient the entire thing.

It's funny you mention this. Stegeman was built because the agriculture community, equestrian, block & bridle clubs, etc. raised the money to build it for horse shows, equipment demonstrations and rodeos. If not for them it wouldn't have been built. They've since been kicked out.

I didn't have time to read the whole post, but I read the article. I like Coach Richt, but the mentality I think he has allowed that whole program to settle for is the "there is more to college football than w's and l's."
That is true, but a program of Georgia's caliber is a little beyond that way of thinking don't you think? The "kids" in his program are grown men in a big time, big money, program.
The whole "moral program" thing is great for a team like Kansas, Indiana and Wake Forest, etc., but you are talking about a program that pays million upon millions of dollars to a man and his coaching staff to do one (or two) things:
Push your team to the highest level and WIN Championships.

Eventually it's all going to come down to "are we meeting expectations and getting the greatest overall value for our team" for the money we are paying. It doesn't look like it...not for a product as solid as UGA football as a whole.

Auburn has only won fewer than 8 games 3 times during the entire 21st century and we won 7 games one of those years. We have still had 3 different coaches during that time. Unlike Georgia, the powers that be at Auburn wont keep a coach who goes more than 4 or 5 years without at least winning a conference championship

Take Vandy and KY out and it is 53-32. Still solid, though.

So you are telling me that the fans have control over this? When you say Georgia, you lump in our entire fanbase. This couldn't be father from the truth. Back at the end of 2010, I'll admit, I wanted Richt gone. We had just had a terrible season and Richt's allegiance to Willie Martinez had me at Rampage levels of raising hell. But we let them Hire a new DC and try to right the ship...heres the catch..he did and in 2012 we were a 5 yard play from a national title.
Point is...don't sit in these threads and assault UGA posters for something they have no control over. If you think for one fricking second the UGA fanbase isn't hungry for a title, then you are retarded. I'd say we are more hungry than ANY team in the SEC. The fact is, our administration has made it clear that stable Richt is our guy unless tragedy strikes. If you wanna poke fun at the administration powers that be fine, but quit acting like Auburn as a fanbase and football team wants it more than UGA...thats just fricking bullshite.

Exactly. It's not the decision makers where the majority of the money is coming from. It's from fans/alumni where that comes from. Money talks the loudest.

He'll ignore everything you say and just keep spewing the same shite in thread after thread. As long as the thread title has something to do with UGA, he'll be here. It's his bat signal.

UGA only did it once, and it was a 6 win season. Auburns 3 times included a 3(would have been 2 if not for an overtime win over LA-Monroe) win season (Richt's never come close to this) and 5 win season.

It's really unfortunate that God hates Mark Richt and tortures him yearly.
Posted on 9/17/14 at 2:19 am to atlau
Yep, his name should read, Mark Almost Richt.
I know they want to win, but the excuse I keep hearing from them is always the same, they're like, "Well who would we replace him with?" Seems to me this is a fear based reaction, instead demanding more from a HC at UGA. Maybe they're waiting for a perfect HC candidate to fall right into their lap. Personally, I think they (Disney dawgs included), are a prideful bunch, which would explain their defending Richt to no end. But the excuses are wearing thin, and they're growing more bitter by the season.
