re: Richt gets no love...

quote:

---

He was ran out of town at Ole Miss

---

after winning 10 games. Dumbest move they've ever made.

quote:

---

after he refused to fire his assistants and never got past being a middle tier program

---

it's ole miss for shite's sake. They ARE a middle tier program and that's all they'll ever be.

quote:

---

He was nothing more than underwhelming even after having Eli Manning a future Super Bowl winning QB

---

If you're gonna go that route, people should give richt more shite simply because we had a #1 pick at QB and never won the east

quote:

---

Mark Richt's resume takes an utter shite on this dudes resume and Richt isn't even in this guys Top 14.

---

Yeah I agree richt should be on there. I also agree that silly, trivial lists like this don't matter as it's just one dude's opinion. I haven't even seen the list or clicked the link...I was simply saying Cutcliffe is a very good coach.

quote:

---

It literally took him 6 years to post a winning season at Duke

---

lol...that's actually quite an accomplishment.

In the last 50 years of duke football (not including cut), they had only won more than 6 games in a season 3 times, 2 were spurrier. Last year cut won more games in a season than ANY OTHER SEASON in duke history. At duke! It would be akin to someone taking south carolina to the final 4 in basketball.

quote:

---

I don't understand the adoration with this guy.

---

his track record against us speaks for itself, that's all I need to know (or care about).

UT OC from 93-98
ole miss head coach til 04 (nothing noteworthy)
UT OC 06-07

We beat UT 4 out of richt's first 5 times. A few of them we were easily in control throughout. Cut comes back for 2 years and flat out, absolutely embarasses our defense back to back years. Year after he left we held them to 14 points.

quote:

---

You can make a decent argument that Richt's longevity is because of his success - he's had a lot of winning seasons,

---

yes...

quote:

---

you can make an equally decent argument that his longevity is because of some other reason like connections

---

what kind of connections? Like he has dirt on someone so that's why he's still here? That's laughable.

quote:

---

or fear of change

---

That's a very valid reason, IMO. For every Nick Saban out there, there's about 10 derek dooley or ron zooks

quote:

---

he's never won a title during the same span when his peers have racked up a bunch of them;

---

We obviously all want a title. That doesn't have anything to do with his longevity. And his peerS aren't racking up a bunch, Nick Saban has racked up a bunch.

quote:

---

there have been lagging problems with discipline

---

That's stupid

quote:

---

execution

---

liiiikee....not scoring a TD on every play? Every cfb team ever struggles with execution..in every game. I'd say our numbers will show we've executed pretty darn well since he's been here. Defense? That's another story, and I believe 95% of dawg fans are happy that our most recent 'lack of execution' problem is no longer here.

quote:

---

and conditioning

---

also silly.

quote:

---

plus, his teams always seem to be in the process of rebuilding without ever actually getting there.

---

Every team except bama under saban and UF under meyer has had to "rebuild" do some extent. And hell even UF in 07 lost 4 games. Unless your roster is filled to the brim with 4 and 5 stars like bama's is now..there will be growing pains. Hell look at LSU last year.

quote:

---

Steve Spurrier won at Duke

---

And he's one of the best coaches in the country right now. I fail to see this as an arguing point.

quote:

---

Duke right now is merely an eye brow raiser not something to hang your coaching credentials upon

---

It absolutely is. Getting 9 wins at Duke is an incredible accomplishment.

I don't hate him, I just don't think he should be ranked as high as he is.

quote:

---

The Dantonio hate in this thread makes me sad. I'd murder a family of innocents for him. And Narduzzi.

---

Damn Yankee....

But he's such a good yankee

I'd murder a family of innocents for him.

If you look closely, you can almost see the decaying of society accelerate........


Signs and Wonders.

Dantonio and Cutcliffe

---

Dantonio deserves 100% to be on that list. He took over a flaky program that always collapsed under the immortal John Lol Smith and has built it into a powerhouse. At the end of last season, they may have been the second best team in America, despite being the second program in a weak HS football state. He will never beat Michigan and OSU in recruiting wars because they're Michigan and OSU, but his teams kick their asses on the field. He's been mentioned as a possible successor to Spurrier at USCe, and as a UGA fan, I want no part of playing a Dantonio team every season. MSU will always have a nasty, mean, physical defense as long as he's around, and they'll always have a chance to win the Big 10.

Coach Richt is not even in the top 14 among head coaches. I think he deserves to be in the top 10!!

---

did you watch our last bowlgame?

he is mid SEC at best and maybe soon to be passed by the UT HC

We lost the bowl game because the players didn't feel like playing in it. They had NC dreams when the season started, and without the injuries they had a shot of being there. They didn't give a shite about playing the cornhuskers, and we still almost beat them with half arse effort. Richt's major fault is loyalty, he gives his coaches a chance to prove themselves instead of giving them the boot. Imagine if your boss dropped your arse for having a bad season. He sounds like an awesome boss, just sucks that we haven't won the big one. He learns more every year and he's starting to take the bull by the horns and do what is necessary to win. I bet we play for the SEC again soon.
