re: For those calling for CMR's head

I agree with the article for the most part BUT the entire "coaches" who stick around for 14 years thing is sort of telling. How many coaches stick around for 14 years who has failed as often as Mark Richt has in the last few years?

Couple this with the entire Bowden took 17 years, Bryant took 14 etc etc etc the game has changed. There are by few places a coach can stay where they don't win conference titles. Bowden didn't have that problem to begin with because they didn't have a conference and they were a LOUSY program before his arrival. UGA was not Pre Bowden FSU when Richt arrived....trying to claim otherwise is simply an insult.k. And Bryant may have had some lean years on his way to becoming a legend but he also beat a lot of teams he shouldn't have along the way and got better. Richt is not improving...it is the same old shite every year.

I think the best comparison is JoePa....and who in the frick would want to be compared to JoePa and Penn State??? Penn State has always been the Notre Dame of the East Coast....never playing anyone week in and week out nod benefitting from week schedule with a couple of good teams tossed in. That is why they lost so many national title shots before breaking through.

Mar Rich can coach, period. When he arrived at UGA he looked the part....and progressed nicely along the way. He is simply not progressing and in many instances is regressing. I don't think there is an an immediate hire that would do a better job. That is ridiculous. I don't even think there is anyone who would do a better job. But to pretend that UGA has not been underprepared and under motivated and has not been the victim of poor decisions at critical junctions time and time and time again is simply being blind. If you have a brilliant employee who is constantly under achieving you may not fire him, you may even be forced to increase his salary to keep him around if his under achieving is better than most peoples over reaching.....but your customer base doesn't have to be satisfied with under achieving...and that is the problem. The heat is good for motivation....Rich has never had enough of it.
