I can understand complaints about Richt's offense (or lack thereof), his coaching style, his assistants, etc., but it is amazing to me that he is getting shade on here for disciplining his players. Unless you know he is doing it for no reason, but vindictiveness, what is wrong with punishing players for not following rules?
He feels it is part of his job description to help prepare these young men for life and to help them become the best they can be. Should he solely look at these players as a commodity to help him win games and not as human beings? I know it sounds altruistic, but I think it has had an effect on this team. There seems to be a lack of self-control especially from the younger players and this shows up on the field (false starts, dumb penalties, etc.).
