I was all in on Butch, I really was, but when they named Richt HC I was really, really happy. Richt is a better game day coach than Butch ever was, or ever will be. Yes, Butch would have recruited well and built a really good team. I think Richt will build something even better, though. Yes, Butch had a lot of fire and he'd have worked his rear end off, but so will Richt. As evidenced by him taking over OC and QB coach duties. Richt it every bit as hungry as Butch, and wants to prove he can win by doing things his way, not the Georgia way. We have some darn good times ahead of us.
One more thing... It would have been absolutely heart breaking for Butch to come back and not have the success he had before. I believed he could have had a world of success, but what if? Still, I'd have taken Butch over pretty much any available coach out there not named Mark Richt. But, Richt was the best coach available, and this Cane fan and Butch supporter is thrilled to have him.

I like Mark a lot but he was not my choice. He and staff are light-years beyond Al and dummies, but not the same fire Butch would have brought. I do expect Mark to bet FSU and win coastal, so it is not that I think he is not a good coach. If fact, he was probably way more than we would have gotten otherwise. I have to wait to see team play. Need to see the fire in them to measure Mark's. Remember, ole St Bobby was "nice guy" and we used and abused him for years. I hope Mark left that nice thing back in GA.
