I can see where you'd infer that, but it's not the case.
Maybe, maybe not. But when you mock him for his faith...I am just saying it SEEMS as if you had more of a problem with his being Christian than for his shortcomings as a coach. I mean...people wouldn't even say anything about his faith, but you would begin to mock it in most of your posts about him. Whether you realize it or not, I suspect you have a bigger problem with Christians than you do with Richt. Ok...I get that. But don't let it spill over here. I've not seen anybody say he should not be fired because he is a Christian.
I HAVE seen people talk about him being a good man...but those two, quite often are exclusive of each other. There are Christians who are not necessarily good people, and there are non-Christians who do a lot of good things. He happens to be a good coach, a good man and a good Christian. Or, at least he seems to be.

you are going to trash people because they are a Christian?
No one...NO ONE...is trashing him because he is a Christian. I've NEVER seen a post declaring him be fired because of his faith.
The trashing comes from playing the Christian card. Like the black card, Mexican card, or whatever card, that shite ain't cool.
"Don't fire me, I'm a Christian!"
"Hey, guies. We can no fire him. He Christian! Good man!"
Yeah, frick that noise.

quote:Yeah as the head coach you get the blame for it all. JHC didn't even fail a drug test but just admitted to it, and bam suspension. UGA has the strictest drug/alcohol rules in the SEC and for the most part suspend/sit guys for games when other teams normally wouldn't. Richt can have a say in all of this, but you guys act like it isn't Richt's fault at all in how this stuff is handled. Plus you guys act like all Richts problems are b/c of the administration. Did the administration make Richt squib kick last year vs GT? Did it make UGA on 1st and goal w/ Gurley, call the play with Hutson Mason? Does the administration constantly tell Richt to lose to an inferior team (Tenn, Vandy, Mizz, UF, GT, Colorado, UCF, etc) or to have told Richt to have a losing record vs ranked teams in the past 5 or 10 years?
And you think that was all Richt's fault. How many of those NFLers never had to sit out multiple games because of punishment meted out by administration? How low were some of the scholarship numbers some years due to having to kick out players because the administration said so and the fact they said no over signing? Guys, go look at what the UGA administration has imposed on its own coaching staff and the go look at how the FSU administration acted or all the crap covered up by Florida under Meyer during his championship runs. Basically, the UGA administration has been playing checkers while everyone is playing chess, but yeah, blame Richt for trying his best to keep up.
Plus not all the NFL'ers were suspended like you seem to believe. A lot of them were never suspended, and only a few were suspended multi games. AJ Green and Gurley seem to be the only ones with a long suspension.

I would say you are right about this. You are not alone in your feelings.

Bye-bye, Richt. Go do good.
And this is what I am talking about. If you are sincere in that you want him to go and do good...great. But I suspect it is a shot at him. You are insinuating he was not really doing his best at football.
Hey...look....it's over. He is gone. Let's just hope they make a good hire and we get things going in the right direction. Then we will ALL be happy.

I agree. But he never asked for any special treatment because he is a Christian.

Don't worry it's not going to happen. But I would take Jimbo over Mullen and Smart.

You DO know that Herman was beaten by UConn, right? Isn't that one of the main compalints (that even I made) about Richt? He lost to teams he shouldn't have lost to?
Maybe it was just a one game thing, or maybe it was that Houston does not out talent Uconn like a top tier school does. Or maybe that's just what he is. If Herman is the guy we'll have to wait and see because Georgia is not bringing in a AAA hire so there will be some unknowns involved.

Finished in the top 10 2 outta of the last 4 years.
Who cares how many wins we have if every year Richt shits the bed in a big game and we lose to an unranked team. The SEC East is down and Richt can still just barely win the East.
Are you talking about last season and 2012? Last year, let down game vs UF and coaching mistakes in GT and USC costs us games.
2012 we had a great team, but shitted the bed vs USC. We came out flat when the game was a top tier matchup at the time. It would be one thing if this didn't happen to much, but it happens about once a year now with two this season. With the playoff games right after the SEC championship game, no way do I see Richt winning the 3 biggest games of his career in a row.

I actually kind of get what you're saying here. I saw someone say "it's sad when we value wins more than character" in a football coach. You want character obviously, but as a football coach you're hired to win games.
And I say that as someone who is a very strong believer and really likes Richt as a coach and a human being.

bullshite. I was raised Pentecostal, and my family remains so. This is their lingo. It's code.
And you can bet your sweet, sweet arse that anytime someone on here used that shite as a "go to" defense of Richt, I'd bash the shite out of it and expose it for the Christian bias that it was/is.
I have seriously heard three people today, IRL, say that they hope UGA goes winless next year, because they let this fine, fine Christian man go. That's the fricking level of derp and vindictiveness you get when you devour one of them.

I get what you're saying here, kind of. But who do you want?
If you have a good alternative, I get it. I don't like Richt getting fired, but if we hire Herman I'll be ok. Smart, I'll get over it. Mullen, I won't be thrilled to say the least.

Those are University rules not Richt's rules. Are you saying you will line up against the next coach if he doesn't get those rules changed?
quote:

The squib kick didn't cost UGA the game. Two fumbles at the 1 yard line did. had the RB's held on to the ball there wouldn't have been a squib kick. However, under the situation, you are right. It was a bad call.
quote:
Did it make UGA on 1st and goal w/ Gurley, call the play with Hutson Mason?
No. And I thought it was a good play. Gurley had been stuffed on 2 runs in THAT DRIVE! A play action pass was a good call. The QB grounded the ball. THAT was the problem.
quote:

Well. Those certainly aren't very good players. Good point.

That is a basic tenet of Christianity. It doesn't mean that he shouldn't be fired. It simply means that the Lord is in charge and he what happens will happen and he will be ok....because the Lord is in charge.
Why would this bother you so much? Does it bother you if someone says "What will be, will be."?
Or "Crap happens."?
He is saying that God will take care of him if he is a coach or if he is not a coach. He is putting his faith in God.

Mullen wouldn't bother me. Not glamorous. But I don't have to have the flavor of the month. Mullen has done something with Mississippi State than anyone else has. I would rather have a coach that has done something over time than someone that has had one good year.
