The problem with the USCe example is that Georgia and SC have always had very different recruiting situations. Prior to Lou Holtz and Spurrier SC was a bottom feeder, and even with Spurrier they were not a recruiting powerhouse.
If we lose Richt then there will certainly be some guys who jump ship in that first year. Georgia has always recruited well though no matter who the coach was, it may not be top 10 good, but the cupboard will not be bare.
Regardless though. I don't like the idea of my program deciding the fate of it's multi-million dollar coach which it has 15 years worth of data on based on the potential decisions of 17 and 18 year olds who have yet to step foot on campus and will be gone 3-4 years from.

While true, why does that matter. Either way, recruits will leave when a turnover happens.

Exactly my point. It appears as if we are on the verge of signing a top 5 class. Do we REALLY want to lose that?

Nor should we. However, my concern is we are throwing away a coach that averages 10 wins a year for an unknown...then when we do that we also throw away a top 5 signing class. If the new coach does not pan out it could take us into Tennessee territory...it could take a decade of average to bad football. (Unlike some on here, I define average as middle of the pack....5-6 losses, NOT 10 win seasons.)
