Richt is all about loyalty and doing the right thing and not causing a stir publicly. I'm sure he's already got an agreement in place with the 3 or 4 guys from UGA that attended the senior party with him a few days ago and weren't recruiting with the other guys that Kirby Dumb retained.
He's probably narrowed his DC list too. I just hope to **** he doesn't waste the $1M+ hiring a bum like Grantham like he did at UGA a couple years ago or that loser OC Shyttenheimer like he did last year. This DC hire is going to be absolutely imperative if we're going to turn this program around.
From what I've read, Shottenheimer was forced on him by UGA's AD. Richt never wanted him.
Im having trouble buying the narrative that the AD was dictating so much football stuff to a successful long time HC. I've heard it a bunch on here, but I'm having trouble with accepting it. Doesn't really add up to me.
I've read on here that the AD basically pulled play calling duties from Richt several years ago despite Richt having about an 80%+ winning percentage at that point in his career.
That's because you are using your brain. Look Richt is a huge upgrade over what we have had the last three coaches but there are concerns here and this is one of them. I'm having a hard time believing this also,'especially being that I'm not a retarded homer and have tried seeking out other UGA fan's views of Richt. Many loved him but there is a good amount of them that don't have that much good to say about him. The people saying the AD forced this stuff upon him, seem like the type that will do mental gymnastics to make anything fit their narrative. Many did this with Golden, making excuses why he never won the MAC or beat anybody with a pulse.
Miami's days of underachieving as we have the last decade is over, but I'm still cautious to officially say we are back to being a contender. We will see but after Radio and the Gut, it's easy to be jaded here.
