It is a pretty simple case of paying for the results you have gotten.
That's exactly it. Georgia has gotten exactly what it has paid for. If Georgia wants to win more, they need to pay more. It's irrational to expect a coach to win championships against other good coaches that have more resources at their disposal. It doesn't make sense. You have to put your employees in a position to succeed, or they most likely won't.
In any case, Richt won a lot in the early 2000s and got shite for support.

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.
I defy you to find me a coach that is infallible in-game. The solution to that is talent and depth of talent. That buys you margin of error. (See: Nick Saban, Alabama; Jimbo Fisher, FSU) When you have more talent, you have less games that are dependent on individual coaching decisions, which are imperfect.
Resources help you acquire that talent.

It isn't simply game day coaching....although I would argue that Richt makes more than his share of poor decisions in game. It is a matter of day to day coaching decisions that has Richt mired in mediocrity. Not being prepared to play in big games is not a game day thing...that is systemic failing. Keeping Martinez on as DC despite mountains of evidence that he simply wasn't performing is not a game day thing. Making these kinds of decisions and working at a higher level will also give you some margin of error. If Mark Richt teams were prepared like a Nick Saban team or an Urban Meyer team I think he easily has a couple of more SEC titles and possibly a natty or two. I don't see how paying assistants more will result in a correction of these types of problems.
I would hate to see Richt leave but it is going to happen some day. I would mcu prefer he live up to his rep and ability.
