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.
Their teams have had more talent than ours. Their margin of error is greater. That's their main "preparation."
I forget the exact quote, but Nick Saban once said something to the effect of "you only have a truly focused team 3-4 games per season." The other 10, you're just trying to get by.

I don't see how paying assistants more will result in a correction of these types of problems.
It's not really about paying assistants more. It's about hiring more off-field assistants. That helps you evaluate better, recruit better, game-plan better, etc. It's a hell of a lot easier to pay attention to the details when you have more employees to pay attention to the details.

I agree....the difference is that champions are focused in those 4 games and also fans are focused in in 2 or fewer....and that is us.
Getting blown out by West Virginia on a national stage is more harmful to recruiting and winning the talent war than an IPF is.....Richt did that.
Consistently making clock management errors limits your margins of error....Richt does this regularly and has since season 1.
Being unprepared or at least less prepared in big games limits the amount of talent you can recruit and limits your margins of error. The blackout game against Alabama is a good indication of what being unprepared looks like. Florida this year is another great example....wins against Florida and GT this year gives you loads of room for error for a couple of years....those losses make the margin razor thin. None of this has to do with money or facilities....it is all about being mentally tough and getting ready. Yes, it only takes 3 or 4 times each year...but when you fail one or two of those you re mediocre at best.....

Hammer meet nail... Bama, LSU, Aub etc have anywhere from 3-7 (we have 3 ttl) more ancillary "analysts" than UGA whose job is to handle the little things (paperwork, recruiting updates, film breakdowns, statistics breakdowns & evaluations, logistics scheduling etc...) allowing their 10 coaches more time to gameplan & prepare...
