the fact of what happened against bama in 2012 at the end doesnt make me think less of him because I remember Butch against Washginton in 1999 and a few other games he coached. no coach is perfect. even saban has made blunders.
That 2012 game was on Murray, IMO. I thought he made a terrible pass, and went to the wrong receiver. There was no reason to throw the route he threw. Based on their field position, he either need to clock the ball or throw for the end zone. He wouldn't have gained much if the pass was clean, and the kid got out of bounds. I have a hard time believing Richt drew it up the way Murray ran it.
But Richt protected Murray by not throwing him under the bus, even though that was Murray's error.
