Richt at UGA

[tcgrad1014]

After what this program has been through for the past decade, it amazes me that what we have now somehow isn't good enough.

I'll take seasons like we just had almost every year. We basically just had an 11-win season and could've easily had a 13-win season in year two of a regime. I'm choosing to count the Arkansas St. game as a win on our ledger.

If we are going to be upset every year we aren't in the playoffs we are going to have a completely miserable fanbase.

You are what your record says you are.

When the SEC East removes itself from being the most abysmal division in the Power 5, maybe we could talk about UGA. Until then, they have been a lucky team that scored a free mulligan in their own backyard after being scorched by Auburn.

Wait, the ACC Coastal is and has been the worst division in P5 and it isnt close. In the worst SEC East years, bad Tennessee and Georgia teams, who werent even in the race for the SEC East, embarrassed Coastal champs like VT and UNC in OOC games.

Richt couldn't get to the big dance at Gawja but Kirby can do it with Fromm in year 2? Hmmm.

Richt Former players > Al Golden former players

Georgia’s loss at Auburn would have kept them out of the championship during the BCS. Kirby also has 31 seniors and even more draftable upperclassmen left from Richt. We’ll see what he can do in two years

You don't know that. The BCS system was completely different, AND being the SEC champ would have carried a ton of weight.

LOL! Richt has won 2 SEC titles, and when he lost the East, he still ended within the top 4 multiple times. These are apples and oranges. To say Richt is a bad hire is laughable and made by people who think Miami is going to hire the next Saban or Meyer.

What was the last year he won the title?

How many years ago was that before he was canned there?

Like I said, he is past his prime. He's a burnt out coach to me at this point.

Nobody said he was a bad hire....stop making up argument that don't exist. I just don't get caught up in all the MR propaganda on this board.

You do realize they came back and beat that same Auburn team to win the SEC. Clemson lost to a much worse ACC opponent and I don't hear you talking about them as being lucky. Or how Miami lost to a below average Pitt team and still won they awful Coastal and played for a conference title.

Perhaps there's a grain of truth to the latter opinion of the Orange and Green sort. After all, Richt did get OUT COACHED against lowly Pittsburgh, and mighty Wisconsin. And come to think of it, he probably got OUT COACHED in at least TWO games in 2016. Ouch.

The bottom line: in an alternative college football multi-verse, Miami finishes... 11-2 in 2016, and 12-1 in 2017. dUh. And that's with Golden Boy's players. Yikes!

Maybe because he's the head coach of the University of Miami and this is a Miami board? Maybe because he's the best hire we've had in 2 decades? If you can find a better coach to meet up with your criteria, great. Pay the man and watch him win.

Point made, but Clemson lost by a thin margin and UGA was flat-out humiliated.

How many coaches did Miami interview during this last cycle? And who were they?

Here’s the problem with troll logic. You live in a fantasy land. Miami was an 11-2 team last year? A 12-1 team this year? Yet simple logic would point out that both years were an IMPROVEMENT on the year before so it’s more likely that we over achieved than underachieved. Sure, we could have been 12-1 this year if everything went absolutely perfect and our best three players not sitting on the sideline. However in the real world that’s not how things work. We squeaked out some wins both years so we could easily been worse.

Sooooo...good?

A 9-10 win season is fine. It's what Richt has done his entire career, and what we can realistically expect him to do here. If the goal was to hire a coach who will turn the corner from the Coker/Shannon/Golden failures, then Richt was a good hire. After 17 seasons as a HC, there is no evidence to support that Richt can take a program beyond "good."

Richt is no different than the coaches that have won one championship remained yet kept their team relevant year in/out. Les Miles, Jimbo, etc. Those guys averaged 10 to 11 wins and won 1 National Title. I see Richt in that same vein. He has the ability to put together a team that can win it all, his latest being in 2012, he's just fallen short.

He won't have us competing for National Championships every year but he has the ability to win it all and keep us relevant.

He is different because he hasn't won one.

 

[CANE1775]

While I definitely want to win a NC, what I expect Richt to do is win the Coastal **** near every year. He does that, and recruits at a high level, then we just may win a title under him, but I don't expect some type of championship dominance year in and year out. It is what it is.

 

[HurricaneVision]

I would continue to argue this season was a massive success. You can call it a 10-win season if you'd like, but it was really an 11-win season for me with the Ark State game, we got to the championship game for the first time in forever, and honestly we should've won the Wisconsin game with even a decent game from Rosier.

For me, this year just showed me how good of a coach Richt really is. If others believe a 10-win season as a baseline is bad and shows we are only good, then, well, your expectations are too high in my view.

We played 4 games against teams that finished in the top 25, 3 of them at home, and went 2-2. Other than those 4 games, we beat a bunch of **** opponents and lost to one of them. ​

It was a good season.​

It wasn't a massive success.​

I get it. You don't care for a DIFFERENT perspective and all that. So bloody what! But then again, you're probably NOT too hip on the 2nd Amendment and what not. hUh.

 

[5nationaltitles]

Richt has proven to be a good coach. But as of yet he has not proven he's a great coach. His best years at UGA were the front half of his tenure to boot. He was pretty clearly on the downslide for the second half of his UGA tenure.

With that being said, Miami is a more storied program with better recruits than Georgia. He probably never would have won a national title at UGA, but maybe he can do it here.

 

[5nationaltitles]

I was happier with last season than this season to be honest. Last season we lost all the close games that could have gone either way. This year we won every game that could have gone either way. Last year we ended on a strong note with 5 straight wins, all by at least 14 points. This year we ended on a dud with 3 straight losses, 2 of which were utterly horrendous. You also usually expect more of a coach in year 2 than year 1.
