Please stop comparing Richt with 1.) Saban's first year at Bama or 2.) Harbaugh's first year at Stanford or 3.) Pete Carrol's first year at SC. It makes you look desperate and unintelligent. What has Richt done in his career to be compared to any of these coaches? It's not like he's been without opportunities. He's NEVER done anything in his career to be compared to or described as an ELITE coach. He's a decent program manager that put together a respectable program at UGA and failed to ever "get over the hump".
His "specialty" is supposed to be offense and he's getting it completely shoved up his ***. We return 10 starters from last years offense and have by many standards regressed. That's actually hard to do. What that shows me is his rigid philosophy is not adapting to the current players strengths (ex. offensive line / Kaaya).
The BEST we can hope for with Richt is he 1.) relinquishes play calling duties 2.) hires a savage OC with a completely different offensive philosophy from his own (ya know one that can actually take advantage of your recruiting base and talent advantage) 3.) maintain a semblance of continuity on the defensive side of the ball when Manny leaves in a couple years (max) 4.) actually starts winning some recruiting battles for the ELITE players in SFL.
Thing is we ALL want Richt to succeed but there is going to have to be some changes made......that much is painfully obvious. If you can't discuss the topic of Mark Richt without becoming an oversensitive ****, then please refrain from discussing said topic. And let's please stop comparing him with elite coaches.....because sadly there is nothing elite about Richt and probably never will be.
