Richt's said a bunch of times he'd rather be right than fast with assembling his staff. If he brings back a DC and DB coach he fired just six years ago, then he will have been wrong and slow. That's what makes this rumor so hard to believe.
Jancek's current salary is the same as Aranda's, according to USA Today. Jancek makes more than Todd Orlando and Barnett/Tressel from Michigan State. We have to do better.
I'll believe it's a "legit rumor" when someone from our side puts it out there. Until then, it's a stark contrast to the rest of the coaching rumors, for the reasons you've said. Hires so far have made sense. This would not.
Do the people griping about hiring coaches who were fired by Richt not realize that Richt was fired?
I know we're all in "hope for the best" mode, but Richt didn't leave UGA for Miami ... He was fired, and we scooped him.
So, if we're ok with a fired coach ... Why wouldn't Richt be ok hiring one? Especially if the guy has improved over the past 6 years?
We're hoping Richt is better with us than he was with his last program ... We may need to apply that same hope to the DC hire ...

It would be like UGA hiring Richt as HC in 5 years.
It better be BS. Richt hiring Jancek and Martinez would reek of putting personal connections before the betterment of the program. It'd be unacceptable.
Same guy texted that he thinks its more Jancek is getting fired, not taking a job elsewhere . Butch is evaluating him.
That seems more realistic
Both players are known to have close relationships with these coaches, so stay tuned for more information on their decisions.
Anybody heard a rumor about John Jancek and Willie Martinez coming from Tenn? A buddy of mine (tenn booster) just texted me about it.
Somebody get on this
Both of those guys have Georgia/Richt connections.
people need to stop trying to get into richt's head. No one saw him hiring Coach Kool. the guy is here to win National Titles. not to employ former friends he fired.
Bump.
