I dont disagree that UGA tends to underachieve, but really, UGA acts like they are some kind of Dynastic Program ala ND, Bama, USC. Wasnt like they are a perennial MNC contender BEFORE Richt got there. If they do can Richt, who are they going to replace him with?
a. you don't hold on to a failed coach because you're not sure how to replace him
b. there's no reason UGA shouldn't have enough talent to win big
c. they dont win
Uh, the guy has won the SEC East 4 times, including the last 2 years in a row. He was 12-2 last year. He's won the SEC outright twice. He's 8-4 in Bowls and has a .739 winning pct in what has been the toughest conference in college football over the last decade.
True he's never won the big one, but their "God" Vince Dooley was there like 16 years before he won an MNC, and his record wasnt much better than Richt. And Richt has a better bowl record than Dooley ever did.
Georgia hadnt even competed for an MNC since 1980. So I really dont understand why anyone thinks they are going to do much better with another coach.
Tennessee thought that when they got rid of Fulmer, and havent done sh8t since. I agree he's had a lot of talent to work with, but whose to say UGA would have gotten that talent without him there?
He's definitely struggling this year, but I think it would be a huge overreaction for them to get rid of him after the decent success he's had there. That would be like saying VT should be getting rid of Frank Beamer because he's had a few mediocre seasons.
he wins his division a little bit less than every 3 years, that ain't exactly a powerhouse
Richt is a mediocre coach who produces mediocre results. With all of their resources, his record should be much better.
