Let's pump the brakes on calling the guy a cancer.
I didn't say he always has been. For a while he was the most successful and important coach on campus. Nobody can deny the things he did earlier in his career. The guy helped launch UGA wbb to new heights, and for that I'm thankful.
However, it's time. Time for him to move on and us, more importantly us. Look at SC. There is, literally, no reason whatsoever SC should have a better WBB team than us. Not a one. Yet they have a fiery young female coach with pro experience that has quickly turned them into the #1 team in America (well, 24 hours ago they were anyway). Landers being here is just drawing out the inevitable, just like when Perno was hanging on at the end of his run. 2 coaches with past glory and success that are way past time to leave. Only Landers basically has a lifetime pass.

If one of the best coaches of all time (not just womens bball) hadn't been in Knoxville during his tenure, I think he would have at least one National Championship.
And if spurrier wasn't at UF in the 90s maybe we would've won the east a couple times. Who knows? Who cares? She was there, and we don't have one. That's all that matters.

I agree that it's time for him to move on and into retirement. My point is, considering what he has done, calling the guy a "cancer" is a touch classless.

I was going to say, Landers is a lot more like Perno than he is Richt. Richt still has a very good chance of doing some great things at UGA. I think we all knew after the 2009 season that Perno had lost it when we bowed out against FSU in their regional. Then, for the next 3 seasons, we just drug our feet on firing the guy while Carolina exploded. The program has since gone form one of the tops in the conference and in the country to very mediocre, all because we couldn't pull the trigger on the guy on account of past success.
