I don't think so. It is a pretty simple case of paying for the results you have gotten. As an employer and an employee I know that results are what matters. If an employee of mine wants to earn more become more valuable to me....don't promise me you will become more valuable if I buy you a tool because that is what I orotund expect and the capital investment would be in the tool (an IPF I this case) not the person managing said tool. As an employee I would never dream of asking for a raise or more of a commitment for my employer if I did not have something stellar to,point to as evidence of my worth. Mark Richt has a close but no cigar moment in 2012 that boiled down to coaching, not the lack of an indoor practice facility of a slew of high priced assistants (we stood toe to toe with the eventual national champions).

It may well be that Mark Richt needs better assistants (more money), better facilities (more money) but the fact of the matter is that none of this excuses losses at Sputh Carolina, Florida or Georgia Tech this season....all of these losses, and aloof the many similar losses over the last 14 years are the result of a lack of motivation, preparation and game day adjustments. If Richt did not have a track record of doing more less with more the argument that he needed or deserved more would be valid....the fact that he has a 14 year track record replete with instances of simple poor coaching indicates to me that if given more he would still do less.....he needs to show a reversal of this trend...he needs to do more with less to earn even more. Next season would be a good opportunity to prove the previous 14 have been atypical.
