Too early to say, it all depends on what moves he makes with his staff between now and August. Here's two general possible scenarios, as I see it, obviously, there would be a lot of room in between.
I know things were bad during the last year or two of Golden's tenure, but I truly think it's worse now. Golden had the excuse of sanctions, and a lot of us have also learned from that experience that, once it's clear what the problem is, and that the guy in charge is obstinately refusing to address the problem for personal reasons, there is no chance of turning things around. I really disagree with @nystateofmind on this one, I think there is a real chance Dicht is let go either during or after next season, but maybe that's just unwarranted optimism on my part.
- Richt promotes for DC from within and promotes from off-field staff to fill whatever on-field staff positions end up vacated once all the dust settles. In this scenario, he will be done at the end of next season, possibly during the season if there is another 4 game skid, particularly if we get blown out.
- Richt swings big, lilJon gets a "promotion" at a lower tier program, we bring in a well-reputed and well-paid DC, and do the same at OC. In this scenario, I think he's here through at least 2019 and 2020 seasons, almost no matter what the record is next year. The argument/vibe around the program would be that staff overhauls are always difficult, but the foundation is now set and we need to allow time to let things gel.
