Richt also won the SEC twice
Two sugar bowls
Play away from the natty
And has had Georgia as a national title contender multiple times

This comparison is stupid as frick

We have been contenders plenty of times, sure. Pretty sure that's why folks are angry on the whole delivering on said contention.

If Richt quit tomorrow, because of Cancer or Jesus or some non-football related reason, and you had to find a new coach, and you had three of your favorite resumes in front of you, and you are the AD.... you have to make a decision.. and you pray about it... you pray to God for a sign... imagine if a visitor from the future and/or and angel visited you in your office, and told you that one of those coaches would go 10 years without an SEC Championship.... you ask about the other two resumes, and the angel/futurist declined to tell you their futures.... would you hire the guy guaranteed to not win the SEC for the next ten years? Or would you roll the dice with one of the other unknowns?

I want you to think about this. I want you to be a big boy. I want you to think about this, and reply back. Not tonight. I want you to think about it and sleep on it for a night. Or two nights. Or however long it takes you to give this scenario the deliberation it deserves. Then I want you to come back and share your thoughts. Not your feelings, your thoughts.

Am I asking too much from you?

Nope, sorry. Play away from the title game, maybe - a score was not guaranteed, even if The Pass had simply been an incompletion.

That just gets the team to the title game. Richt winning a national high profile game? Far less certain outcome.

And just because Bama crushed ND, as the pro-Richt folks always like to point out "We aren't Bama."

I disagree. We have been in the top 5 briefly a few times and in the top 10 many times, but only in 2010 were we close to playing in an NC game within 5 seconds of the end of the season.

Yes, 2 SEC titles....the last of which was 10 years ago.

Yes, 2 sugar bowl wins, one against Hawaii. Does anyone think if we play Hwaii 1000 times we lose more than 5 times? Also don't forget the blow out to fricking low life basement dwelling West Virginia. We have not been a national title contender under Richt....not once, certainly not multiple times.

Listen, I understand being afraid of change. But as S pith Carolina learned today change is going to happen. Without change you can't progress. We are stuck in mediocrity. Mark. Richt has built us into a solid, winning program...but that is ALL that he is capable of. We were teetering on the edge of becoming even less relavent than we had been prior to a Richts arrival.....but he has done all he can. Like Spurrier he was the best coach for the job when he was hired....that is no longer the case.

Richt is damaging his legacy at UGA. Does anyone think he is more likely to win a natty than have a 4-8 season or two? He should have resigned at least 5 years ago. He is merely taking money and not doing his best work at this stage....and that is stealing, a very unholy thing.

I admire Richt. He simply is not a great coach and is marginally an acceptable coach. Hiring someone new is fraught with danger...not doing it is just as risky because you become complacent as a program....
