I'd like to know all the dirty details of what happened in those offices that year.


My impression is that Richt was given an ultimatum before the season started for how it had to go. Once we lost the Tennessee game, the writing was on the wall. The staff had short timer's syndrome and didn't really care after that.

Lousy way to run a program from start to finish. Greg McGarity should've been on the first plane out after Mark Richt left. Letting him be involved in our next hire was a big mistake IMO.

I don't buy it. Richt wasn't given an ultimatum, but I'm sure he felt pressure and I'm sure he thought if things didn't go well, he would be fired. However, I don't believe he was given an ultimatum.

I believe Pruitt is responsible for all of the friction on the coaching staff, and some people chose sides. The coaching staff issues didn't even exist before Pruitt got here and Richt doesn't have the strong Saban type personality to lay the law down to Pruitt. Tracy Rocker flat out called it a mutiny in one of his comments and he was talking about Pruitt.
