re: Is Gus the new Richt?

I'll admit that I was done with him after LSU because there didn't seem to be any way he could correct course this season with UGA and Bama on the horizon, but I'll be damned if he stepped-up and did.

I think you know what you get with Gus. He has brought some stability to the program and the team has been pretty disciplined and without scandal for the most part. He's going to have some very good seasons with some mediocre ones sandwiched in between, but I doubt you ever see a trainwreck season like we had with Chizik.

Now with Jacobs being gone, I think there's a little less pressure on him as well.

Given some of the other coaching searches and hires the past two seasons, I'm glad we retained him. Is he worth $7 mil? No, but neither are most of the other coaches in that salary range and he ranks right up there with them in accomplishments.
