Pell had 26-33 record and no SEC championships.He was fired for major NCAA recruiting violations. Are you comparing UF's situation in 1983 to UGA and CMR currently?

You miss the point. Spurrier coaching in the non-NFL and at Duke carried a ton of risk.

Meyer not coaching at a major program carried a ton of risk.

You're counter point is that the were "hot" coaching candidates.

So, was Muschamp. One of the hottest bar none. Hell, he had the Texas job wrapped up (HCIW), just didn't want to wait on Brown to call it quits, so he jumped to Fla.

The point is - what do you expect from the program? You want 6 - 10 wins a season and a Florida bowl, you got your man. You want SEC championships and a NC championship, probably not. It is not bad to support Richt, but recognize him for what he will bring. The gift of Pruitt is really nice, enjoy it while you can as someone is going to come knocking. The squatter may be a problem, certainly looked like it vs Vandy.

The best comparison to our Richt is Pelini. He won the following. 9, 10, 10, 9, 10, 9,9 at Nebraska.

They fired him. They wanted more.

Our administration doesn't and all of the Richt supporters don't either. As

And that's OK. I have adjusted my expectations. Just don't bitch when we wind up in the Independence, Gator, Belk, Birmingham or maybe if we play our cards right the Outback bowl, while others populate the major bowls and the playoffs.

As to Pell as an example, they could have done worse as he won some games, so that according to streaker and perhaps you, should be avoided at all costs.

Personally, I have resigned myself to the fact the Richt will retire at the time of his choosing unless the wheels really fall off and the money follows. And being in the top 3rd of the SEC and winning the SEC and A NC is not in the cards. I don't like that, but I accept it.

What many of you do not realize is that UGA AD is finally in the process of ridding itself of the culture of cheap and the attitude that "we can win without doing it like the other teams". What happened this Christmas was bigger than any coach. Richt was a huge part of it. He has the support of many key $ folks. Possibly more than ever. He is not going anywhere unless he decides to. Spendding a lot of mental energy dwelling on what 'we' need to do to get a better coach is illogical and indicitive of someone with a low IQ and total lack of situational awareness...

Situations are hardly similar. It wasn't just "they wanted more". The AD hated Pelini for reasons other than going 9-4 every year.

Huh?He won an ACC championship at freakin Duke.
He was also an ex heisman winner at Florida and just about every big time supporter of the program wanted him
and the program was in shambles at the time.

Its absurd to call it a risky hire and same with Urban.

Both were extremely successful HC's at P5 schools.Muschamp may have been a "hot commodity"but he had no track record as a HC.Much bigger risk.
