Whatever man... Keep your blinders on then. I think Richt is a great guy, and a man of integrity, but he's not going to bring UGA to the promise land. I don't think recruiting is the main problem w/ UGA. It's only one of many. I have no qualms w/ UGA... I just think they could do better.


you may be right but all i can do is hope like hell we're wrong

No, Richt will never win a National Title. He might luck out and win another SEC title or two, and he might even get a team TO the title game if he's really living right, but I don't think he can ever win a national title game. Helluva guy, pretty good football coach, but he's not capable of winning in today's game.

It doesn't matter if Mark Richt is great or not. The big question is whether Georgia can get anybody that is better. Remember Florida after 2010 was a considerably better job than Georgia and they had to settle for a highly regarded assistant coach with no head coaching experience. Same thing for Nebraska. Brady Hoke wasn't an A-list coach when he took the Michigan job. Alabama hit a homerun with Saban and Ohio State got CUM but those types of hires are very rare.

"LSU and Ohio State were the best 2 teams in the nation that year.

Ohio State?
They had one of the easiest schedules of all BCS teams and only played one top 25 team Illinois which they lost to."

Is this ga fan REALLY talking about tosu's schedule being easy? Pot, meet kettle.
Until uga stops being scared to play good teams, and stops making jersey decisions like a 16 year old girl, I expect they'll always have issues.

My guess is that Georgia will get to a title game before Penn State. Even if either takes another 30 years.

uga has a really good shot this year pending a mass of significant injuries, however the window of opprotunity is closing on richt if he doesnt atleast get there soon

That window of opportunity is closing VERY fast. 2 years of comparatively easy schedules in a row don't rotate that often in the SEC.

Short answer "yes" with an "if", long answer "no" with a "but."

Err... reading comprehension not a strong suit?

I'm not going to defend Richt as I think he has some major shortcomings (blind loyalty = #1) but to criticize his ability to recruit, you're simply wrong.

I have no blinders on when it comes to Richt. I'm not a supporter, though I'm also not calling for his head. As others have mentioned, its not like there were a ton of great coaching options on the market this past year. Even top tier programs have had to take some relatively unproven coaches. Do I take a questionable hire over a guy who's had a track record of delivering 10+ win seasons? I honestly don't know.

I do know that this season gives us our best shot at an undefeated regular season. I doubt we make it all the way through unscathed but I see how it could be a realistic outcome.

My post was simply a response to your criticism of his recruiting. If you look at the other post that has the #s (Dallas posted I think?) you'll see that he's pretty much taken care of business in the state.

One of the dumber posts I've read in my short time here.

We actually play a team worth a shite OOC every year and schedule an additional quality opponent most years. Who the hell has Bama played OOC in the last 10 years? Penn State twice?
