re: So There's A Good Chance We Go 10-3

Auburn won a NC and they've sucked balls since...minus the fluke "prayer in Jordan Hare". Saying Richt CANT win a NC is like saying all a man can't die....it's not that he can't, he hasn't. But he came damn close in 2012 and should have played for it in 07. Outside of a very short list of coaches, who's done better....

No, he doesn't.He had little to do with any limited success we had this season except for the SC game.

---

So...he gets the blame for all the losses, but no credit when we win? Makes sense.

quote:

---

We will be the only 10-3 team not deserving of a ranking after beating all the SEC bottom feeders.

---

You do realize that Ohio State plays their first ranked team of the year next week...and Iowa has yet to play a ranked team, either? Yet all we can focus on is we haven't beaten a ranked team?

quote:

---

Richt is in charge of the program and someone should be held responsible for not getting us a qb after Murray left.

---

He got us 4 4* QBs, didn't he? Ramsey, Lambert, Bauta and I think Mason was 4*.

quote:

---

Also how many teams undersign like Richt has, which has cost us games.

---

He doesn't typically undersign. He just doesn't oversign. Then when attrition due to behavior, grades, drugs etc jump in there it leaves us shorthanded. But I think we did pretty good this past class in that regard.

UGA is 4th in college with the most active players in the NFL. Depending on which site you use, the NCAA or the NFL, it has Miami, LSU, USC and Bama ahead or tied with them. Guess what? Those teams has won the title in the BCS era. Florida, FLorida St and Oklahoma are ranked behind us and they have won one too. No other coach has underachieved with the talent that UGA has. Richt always gets a pass whereas the AD or the other coaches usually get the blame. Now it is the IDF is needed for us to win (how much would it help vs Bama this year?), the AD budget is holding us back, wait till Richt gets a complete set of coordinators and that 5* qb that he needs. Yada Yada Yada.

2012: vs USC, Richt just has his typical flat game in the bright lights. USC was really good that year but we came out flat and was much better than what the score showed.

2007: vs USC, we lost to a 6 loss team and a 4 loss TENN team. Both teams were unranked at the time of the game.

Neither of those years did we win the SEC and 2007 we didn't even win the East. Sure we finished very hot but I don't think Hawaii was a good opponent for us that year to truely see if we were a legit team deserving of the NC. Hawaii was very overrated in a weak conference with lower tier players and we proved it very much so that night. We were supposed to win that game regardless of the rankings.

Now our 2012 was probably our best under Richt here recently but I not calling a timeout was another example of his coaching blunder. I think a confident coach calls a time out right then and gets his players in position and gets the correct played called. Instead we try to catch them off guard with everyone being rushed in position and getting the snap off. No reason to take that timeout with you and not leave it on the field.

No that's logic, understanding, and reasoning. EVERY Georgia fan wants to win the NC but the bitching and moaning has taken the cake. Richt is chipping away....to say he can't win or won't win is BS. He hasn't won a NC but 3-4 times should/could have. Play here or vote here, he's got a ring. Take that away....he, outside a very small circle of coaches can produce the wins each season he has, with or without talent.

I thought we should have CLOCKED the ball and had a play, maybe two to work with but Richt and Bobo wanted that bama defense on the field. They couldn't substitute and were tired....it was a gamble and the tipped pass being CAUGHT, cost us. There weren't any timeouts....and any fan hindsight is shat. 2007, before not winning your conference was acceptable, UGA would have played USC for a Natty. That's twice that Richt coulda/ shoulda....what's the rest of the 140 coaches hanging their hats on.
I'm not saying I don't get pissy at Richt but the man can and does win consistently. Yes, UGA loses games we shouldn't but to say he can't win it all is a stretch when the man has had us in contention and it didn't happen. If we win out and go 10-3 with this team, he deserves a raise because this team isn't very good. Say what you want, but the realist, level headed fans predicted losses to bama and Tennessee and UF had a lot of talent back. Once Eason and crew get to town, I believe Richt will have Athens rocking again and UGA will be a threat.

Lambert the guy who lost his starting job at Virgina? Ramsey was a very raw kid out of high school and they pretty much put all the eggs in that basket to being the heir after Murray. Everything we have seen from him has shown him to still be raw and unpolished. I always thought Bauta was a 3* and maybe even projected at FB? Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but it seems he wasn't highly rated.

Also Richt needs 5* qbs for us to do good things in the SEC. DJ 5*, Stafford 5*, Murray 5*. David Greene did do damn good for us, but wasn't recruited by Richt. I like how Richt brought in Murray and Mett and let them compete it out instead of just bringing in 1 qb a class.

I don't know if Park would be any good, but I wish he stayed b/ he woulda got his chance.

Sorry, you get the point. Spike the ball, call a timeout, whatever. Just stop the clock and call in the right play and personal group. The biggest play of the season, and I'm sure most coaches would spike the ball.


We had a good call and the correct group.

Nope, our best player, Gurley was blocking against their DE who tipped the pass. Their DB was all over Mitchell in the endzone. Even if the pass had not been tipped, it had little chance of success. I still say Murray should have been rolling out to the right with Gurley as one of the options on the play. Gurley could have chip blocked and then been one of the eligible receivers with Murray rolling out with options to run himself or pass. They could have run that same play 10 times knowing what had gone wrong the previous 9 times and it still would not have been successful.
