Miles looks down at Ole Miss & Arkansas year after year. It tends to bite us in the arse every so often

Les Miles and Mark Richt don't belong in the top 7.

And it was every bit as much our 'bad play' in the secondary, as it was a 'good play' by your freshman QB.

If our defense hadn't partied so hard on your starting QB, we probably would have won the game anyway.

How quickly you have forgotten needing a last minute 99 yard drive to defeat a sunken ship.

Last year will most likely go down as the worst in CBB's tenure at Arkansas, things are only going to get tougher for you vs. Arkansas.

Threading ranking all 14 coaches is all about LSU.

All LSU, all the time

LSU fans kind of hijacked the thread with their bitching about Miles' ranking.

So yeah. Saban gets great talent


If you don't think that gives him a clear advantage than every other team in the nation then you are dilusional. If he didn't win championships it would be like the Yankees and having the biggest payroll and not making the playoffs similar to Bama this season. YOU SHOULD WIN OR BE CLOSE EVERY SEASON. Period

Georgia will never have that same expectation until we can land the ridiculous amount of talent that Bama lands. The fact that we hung with Bama in 2012 should have given credit to Richt instead of the ridiculous bS about underachieving when he actually overachieved if anything.

Why do people perpetrate this rediculous notion. UGA over Richts tenure averages around 10th in recruiting overall. Normally we are the 4th or 5th best SEC team but sometimes lower and occasionally higher. How does that equate to doing less with more is beyond me. We do exactly what our rankings say we should do.


You actually average around 8th for recruiting as far as Rivals is concerned. And, during that same amount of time, you have averaged a #13 finish in the AP Poll. So...Georgia has indeed underachieved with Mark Richt.

You act as if not every coach has the same opportunity to bring in the big talent as Saban continuously does. Recruiting is part of college football. If you want to be a great football coach you have to be a good recruiter.

Any team that brings in the talent Georgia does should have the expectation of winning championships. If you are bringing in Top 10 classes every year, with the occasional Top 5 class, you have the talent to compete for a national championship. Sure, you may not have as much depth as Alabama, but as the 2012 SEC Championship Game proves, you have the talent to compete against them.

I've never understood attributing great talent as almost an unearned advantage. Recruiting and staff hires is the primary job of a CFB HC, that and simply keeping everyone on the same page, running the program. That's precisely what they are paid to do.

That's a pretty damn accurate depiction of recruiting = about where you will succeed. You have to remember 2 of the teams that recruit better than us on average also play us every single season. Then you have to figure in when we play LSU and Bama who also out recruit is nationally. I would say 13th would be about where we should average and you can say we should be Top 10 every year but injuries and other bull shite skew that. Your team should average number 1 every fricking year and they don't. See what I mean.

We damn near do. Every year since 2008, Alabama has been ranked #1 in the country at some point at least once. We've been one or two plays from competing in the national title every year since Saban's first full class.

Alabama does land the most talent, and Saban's gameday coaching prowess is overrated. However, Richt underachieves with what he has. In the past four years he has finished outside of the top 25 twice, with recruiting classes that are always in the top 15.

We are talking about underachieving as a coach. We recruit well nationally and we hold our own but we certainly don't underachieve. The program is a damn fine program and we have done well but we aren't talking national powerhouse at Georgia. Richt has been outstanding and certainly better than the coaches before him. You guys act like we should compete for championships every season and we should be up there competing with Bama every year when very few teams have the talent on roster and the ability to recruit at a level of making that assumption.

Injuries derailed this season in which we could safely assume we would have finished in the Top 25 after besting USC and LSU with offensive firepower that your teams couldn't stop. So to think our team was not a healthy Top 25 team is absurd. We had one bad year and a bunch of years with 10+ wins. With the talent we have we do about exactly what we should do. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

Also...let it be known that since 2007, when Saban first arrived at Alabama, Auburn has had an average recruiting ranking finish right at #10. Since that time, they have won the SEC twice, have appeared in the national championship game twice, and have won a national title.

So don't tell me that Richt is right where he should be.
