For Those Who Claim Coach Mark Richt Can't Recruit

Earnest T. Bass · Nov 29, 2018

Mark Richt, having to follow the Randy Shannon disaster, Al Golden disaster, and the Shapiro disaster, that was several years of non-stop vicious media attacks on the Canes football program, requires a long-term rebuilding of a program that is unrecognizable from the glory days. What Coach Richt accomplished last year was possibly the best coaching job in the history of the program when everything is factored in, which is why the experts awarded him coach of the year. There is no way to wave a recruiting wand over the nation's recruits and suddenly they will be clamoring to become Canes, especially when competing against monstrous, well oiled (money) recruiting machines that now dot the college football landscape.

Below, is a small sampling of the recruiting Coach Richt brought to the Bulldogs. Notice that with Coach Richt's recruits Kirby came close to capturing a National Championship, yet now with Coach Richt's recruits moving on, they've struggled. Mark Rich is a winner and with the support of all Canes, he will bring National Championships back to Miami.

Let’s see the trophy case since he must have won so much with all that talent...

LMFAO!!! You suck as a poster like he sucks as a coach!!! You ******* douchebag!!

Goodness this post is so dumb it's barely worth responding to.

But the "yet now with Coach Richt's recruits moving on, they've struggled" line is pure gold. Nothing like a "struggling" 11-1 team about to play for another SEC championship and playoff bid with a win. Sure sound like Kirby is heading for the hot seat to me...

Hmmm, last year when the Canes struggled at times during their 10 straight wins you haters unmercifully and constantly attacked every coach (wanting them fired) and players (wanting them benched or thrown off the team) one time or another. Yes, this year Georgia has struggled and are a thirteen and a half point underdog to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. And if they lose to Bama and Ohio State wins the Buckeyes will jump Georgia into the playoff spot they currently occupy.

OP has dementia. Just smile at him and point him in the direction of the closest BINGO game.

UMercury21 · Nov 29, 2018

It's easy to recruit when you have SEC money and can pay them more than their first NFL contract.... Can't do that at UM with the microscope.

You seem to forget the main reason he landed all of those recruits. He had a massive team of these guys.
