My impression is that Richt was given an ultimatum before the season started for how it had to go.

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.
