Count Alabama coach Nick Saban among the critics of Georgia’s decision to fire coach Mark Richt after a 9-3 season.
“I don’t know what the world is coming to in our profession,” Saban said when asked about Richt’s firing Sunday night on an SEC Championship game teleconference. “Mark Richt has been a really good coach and a really positive person in our profession for a long, long time. I think when you win nine games that’s a pretty good season, especially with the body of work he has been able to put together there.”
Alabama will play Florida in the SEC title game Saturday at the Georgia Dome.
Georgia’s Oct. 3 loss to the Crimson Tide in Sanford Stadium began a three-losses-in-four-games stretch that apparently decided Richt’s professional future with his bosses at UGA.
“I hate to see people that have the character and the quality and ability to affect young people in a positive way, like Mark Richt, not be a part of our profession,” Saban said. “And people don’t realize the importance of some of the other things that go into college coaching, whether it’s helping develop young men as people, helping them develop careers off the field by graduating from school.
“We all get it: We know we have to win games. But winning nine games is not bad. And he certainly won a lot of games for a long time, and I hate to see these kinds of things.”

So Saban is saying that Georgia is not a program where championships can be won? Sure sounds like it.

Life Goes On.
Richt should take his alma mater's job and bring the U back to relevancy. Don't feel bad for him

Georgia will not be able to land a coach better than Richt this year. LSU figured that out and backed off of firing Les.

I'm sure that this is exactly what Saban is screaming at his players when his vein bulges from his forehead:
"IT'S OKAY, YOU TRIED YOUR frickING BEST!!! AS LONG AS YOU'RE LEARNING AND DEVELOPING AS A PERSON, YOU ARE A GODDAMN CHAMPION!!! IT'S SAD TO SEE OTHER COACHES INTIMIDATE THEIR PLAYERS FOR MAKING MISTAKES LIKE YOU JUST MADE!!! IT'S JUST A frickING GAME, KID!!!"

Saban is right, he's always right. Georgia has the LSU problem. They play in the same conference with Bama so it typically means sitting home the first Saturday of December and going to a bowl on January 1.

Saban is such an arse.
"I don't know what the world is coming to in our profession"
The man had been there for 15 years without winning anything more than a conference championship in the last 10.
