I get that you don't much like Richt, but why even say this? Isn't it technically true that we could always potentially lose our next game? Sounds to me like just a cheap way to add strength to your argument by turning 3 losses into 4 before a 2018 game has even been played.
I don't like Richt? That's news to me. The opposite is in fact true. I think he's one heck of a guy who I think is as good of a person as they come. I felt the same way about Coker, good dude and not as good of a coach as Richt, but that's wasn't enough to keep him employed here.
I feel that Richt underachieved at UGA. I don't want to get into a debate about why that is, it's been talked about here ad nauseum.
When we hired him, I was on board with it with one caveat. That he would be reenergized and focused at the opportunity to coach at his alma mater. I think he seems to be that, but I'm beginning to think something is still missing or that he's just not a great coach, but a good one.
I will say this. The offensive woes are squarely on his shoulders and his sons. This year is my make or break with him on it. Three years in, you can't use the board popular opinion that the offense stutters because Rosier is limited. You've had ample time to improve things and get it right. His offense is absolutely horrendous in third down situations as well as in the red zone.
Off track a bit, but you're **** right, I did bring up the way he finished the season. In the real world, nobody gets a raise when you have a last quarter like that. You could make the argument that it's feasible to do so after our big opener, but no way before that. You look at the past, but you also look at the future. The LSU game is absolutely worth mentioning at this time.
I wouldn't be in any kind of rush to offer anything but what he has until he proves more on game day. You can talk about all this recruiting is trending up ( I agree), but as we've come to know, recruits are not but unfulfilled potential that needs to be developed. At UGA, if you believe the recruiting rankings, he fell far short of where they should've been on paper.
