He will never win a National Championship at UG. He would win one here. It will be an easier path through the ACC
I like him but, to me, that says something.
Georgia is #4 or #5 in states producing the best recruits year in, year out.
He should have made a few serious runs at the NC sometime during his tenure at UGA.
His '07 squad was, in my opinion, the best team in the country by the end of the year. They lost a fluky game early to Spurrier and took one on the chin at Neyland...by the end of the year they would have whupped anyone. (That was the year of the Florida celebration)
The 2002 team would have beat anyone save Miami. The 2012 squad was like 5 yards away from playing for the championship...only losses were to Spurrier's #6 ranked Skerlina and eventual champion 'Bama in the SEC Title Game.
Guy is a great candidate. Georgia fans demand their program do it cleaner than 'Bama and LSU and get the same results, which is not be realistic in the SEC shark tank.
For all the "Georgia is a talent hotbed" stuff, they have 1 national title in modern history and that was with the greatest college player of all time (arguably) in Herschel Walker and included a miracle play to beat a mediocre Florida team ("run, Lindsay, run"). Maybe not as easy to win there as people want to think?
A great point. Look at all the players Richt has dismissed. Mettenberger, Nick Marshall. The list goes on and on.
