better question why was Richt let go..
He couldn't beat Florida or Alabama consistently, especially Florida the last couple of years. I'm not sure why he decided to play Bauta the entire game. If Chubb didn't get hurt, I don't think he would have been fired, but I know they've been unhappy for a long time. The Sunday after the UF game, the biggest boosters met with their AD, and wanted Richt gone then. I have watched a lot of their games, and the team has come out lifeless more than a few times. I am hoping that he will be energized getting to coach the way he wants to at Miami.
As far as recruiting goes, I'd imagine Smart had contact with most of the same players that UGA was after, so it probably wasn't hard to keep the relationships there, whereas Richt and the coaches had to go introduce themselves to a lot of kids late in the process. Listening to the recent interviews, he had to watch film on the kids already recruited, to see if he even wanted to keep them.
Please tell me who beats Alabama consistently? I don't know if I can think of a team off the top of my head who has beat them more than once in the last 6-7 years (maybe Ole Miss?)
You mention the last couple years with UF, but rumor is the reigns were taken from his hands so maybe that has something to do with it, and prior to that it was Urban at UF, who like Saban, does not get beat on the regular.
Miami and hate to say fsu can beat bama with sfla speed, u recruit speed and if miami can hit there max potential they could beat bama. The U at there best is better than any other teamx
