Mark Richt

He speaks the truth. UGA probably has strongest position in its state of any major program, and in a very good high school football state. Plus they're able to cherry pick talent nationally. They're wonders at winning or placing top 5 every February in recruiting rankings. So predictable that it is silly - never play to rankings or presumed talent level,

He sucks. He was fighting no one in his home state for prospects for years and can win sh/t.
Right now I honestly feel golden can do what he does at Uga. The unreal talent that has came through there and all they have is a varsity hot dog to show for it.

This is incredibly false... I am extremely familiar with high school football in Atlanta and it is exactly like Miami. There is a ton of talent but most of the TOP prospects leave the state. Every year the best players in Atlanta go to Bama, Auburn, Tenn, Clemson, S. Car, Ole Miss. And you saying Goldie can consistently win 10 games in the SEC (which is what Richt does) is straight blasphemy.

How familiar are you? I lived in atlanta.
Wanna know why their leaving now....cause he sucks. None of the schools you mentioned mattered for the longest and still don't. It's all about Uga in ga. In atlanta metro area it's like ga tech doesn't even exist.
Just realize in any given year ga is the third/fourth beat football state and Uga owns that state despite what you say....he goes to war with no one instate....yet he can't get over the hump, again his side of the sec is weak sauce. And Uga lives off the pre season sec chyle that has them ranked in the top 10-15 every preseason so when they rack up losses their still top 25

I completely forgot about this thread.

At least I'm consistent ...

Yall dudes knocking Richt are insane!

How many national titles did Butch win as HC?

Yet, yall think he would immediately compete with Saban and Urban, though he's never done it?

Butch could easily be Mark Richt ... And most of yall claiming he's "a god" would then be griping about "only" winning 10 games per year, like UGA fans do. Lol

Richt is a great coach! He's not coming to Miami, so the debate is mute ... But if he did, we'd be lucky to have him, IMO.

Y'all are clueless on UGA! lol

UGA doesn't even have an indoor practice facility!

Some of y'all claim Miami isn't a "big boy" program because we don't have one ... Well, neither does UGA.

Are they not a "big boy" program? And if not, then Richt must have done miracles there! LOL

Seriously, the guy is a legit coach! If they beat Bama in 2012, Richt probably wins a BCS title over Notre Dame, and some of yall dumping on him are BEGGING him to "honor his UM pride like Harbaugh, and come save the program"!

He's won 74% of his games, overall, and 69% in the SEC. He's won 6 SEC East titles, and he's 9-5 in bowl games.

He's a top 10 HC in college football!

And UGA fans are only bitter because they have to listen to fans from Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, LSU, and Alabama brag about winning a title ... But they can't argue that their program is better than all of them, except Bama, LSU, and (maybe) Auburn, over the past 10 years.

Bama has a top 2 coach, with LSU having another guy in the top 10. Auburn benefitted from have a freak season from Cam Newton ...

Mark Richt would be a dream hire for Miami! It's not happening, so it doesn't matter. But short of getting Urban or Saban, Richt would be among the best options in college.

This is hilarious ... Some Miami fans want Gary Pinkel or Mark Stoops to come coach the Canes, but "no thanks" to Mark Richt?!?!?

Only on Miami message boards ...

UF has fired 2 head coaches over the past decade ... That would suggest there have been 2 periods of time where they were not very good.

But I acknowledge, Florida was better for 4 of Meyer's 6 years there. However, they were not better during the years of Zook or Muschamp. And I'm fairly certain UGA fans prefer Richt to McElwain.

Why, and/or how, am I a fan of mediocrity?

UGA is FAR from mediocre. They're the #9 ranked team in the AP pre-season poll ... When was the last time we were ranked that high in a pre-season poll?

UGA is almost always in the hunt for a BCS title.

And as a realist, I understand that the only thing you can reasonably ask for is to be in the hunt.

Jimmy Johnson and Howard are much better coaches than Dennis Erickson ... But only 1 of those coaches won 2 titles, and it's neither of the better coaches. Butch is a better coach than Coker, but only 1 of them has a national title.

Or there is only 1 expectation at Miami, National Championships. Mark Richt isn't a National Championship coach.

I hate UF but they haven't been better then UGA the last 10 years? They have 2 titles, UGA lost only 2 games once and finished the season unranked 4 times.

Maybe you are a fan of mediocrity.

Sorry, pal, but UGA is in the process of building an indoor facility. Also, their facilities are light years better than anything Miami has to offer. Again, pretty good coach, but not top tier - and the program continues to fall short of expectations, and a decent portion of fans would rather see a more cut-throat head coach.
Click to expand...

LOL

"In process", pal = It doesn't CURRENTLY exist.

And it hasn't existed the entire time Richt has been coaching there. They just got it approved last year.

And who cares if their facilities are light years ahead of Miami? I'm not comparing Richt to Golden ... It's obvious Richt is an upgrade on Golden. That's not the debate.

But people knocking UGA as mediocre or average are delusional! That's a top 10 program in the country, and it's because of Mark Richt.

He hasn't won "the big 1", I get it.

So, he's not a top 5 coach. But if there are more than 10 programs who would prefer to keep their HC over Mark Richt, please name them ...

As for his recruiting ... Do yall realize how many transplants are in the metro Atlanta area? He loses in-state talent because those kids are exposed to much more than UGA and GT .... They've got family ties in Tennessee, Florida, the Carolinas, Bama, West Coast, East Coast, Midwest, The geography for UGA is not a benefit. Those kids don't grow up "dreaming of playing at UGA" because many of their parents are from someplace else.

It's just as easy for Clemson, South Carolina, Tennessee. Auburn, or Alabama to get a kid from metro Atlanta as it is for UGA, and it has nothing to do with the coach. Some kids just want to get away ... And in metro Atlanta, many of them want to get away.

Except he has a better winning percentage than Butch Davis, and has done it in a better conference.

No matter what you think of the SEc East, it's better than the old Big East and the ACC Coastal ...

of course, the "over hyped" reference could apply to Butch and Richt, though ...

There's not much of a drop off in talent between His recruiting base and ours. If he can't win with the types of platters he's had and has access to what in gods name makes anyone believe he would kill it here. He's a sub par coach that has had studs on both sides of the ball and still couldn't win it all.

2 of the most underachieving programs in the country are

Georgia
Texas

Georgia should have let him go and gotten another coach by now
Click to expand...

The BIG difference between our recruiting groyunds and his is......DUDE doesnt even have to fight anyone for top prospects in his states....NOBODY.....**** we have 2 oTHER BIG TIME PROSPECTS IN STATE ON TOP OF THE TEAMS THAT ARE IN TO POACH...Top kids in GA only KNOW of UGA......even in there down years they cherry pick and get who they want.

Yet this guy still cant win sh*t....

* He has a backfield of 3 5 star first rd level rb's and watch him not win nothing....

* yall keep sayin SEC, SEC,./..well he plays in the WEAK division of the SEC..and doesnt even own that.

He is a bible thumper....that has his players run rampant and do whatever they want..and he fakes it or covers up.....

He's not Butch Davis level as a coach.....solid coach...nothing more....over hyped because he is at uga, and their in the sec.

I dont consider him a top 10 coach...he's in the second tier group of coaches imo. Yet he has more to work with yet comes up short constantly.
