UM hired a known commodity.
UGA hired a complete unknown.
It remains to be seen who got the better guy, but I would have been really sour if we hired Smart. And I'm very happy that we hired Richt.
I get a laugh out of UGA fans. They think their program is elite....they only won 1 national championship since the 50s and think they should be among the top with Bama, OSU and other blue blood programs. **** we won 5 since they won their last. Talk about a delusional fan base.
GA messed up big time. Not only do I feel we have one of the best coaching hires with Richt, but GA firing Richt to replace him with Smart is just a bad move all around. Kirby Smart will be Will Muschamp 2.0.
Miami and it's not even close, and I'm not a big Richt koolaider either.
Richt isn't mean or dirty enough to beat Saban, on basically even ground, facilities/recruiting-wise, in the SEC. Put him in Miami, with the talent available, and coaching the way he wants to, not what's forced upon him, and I think he'll get Miami back.
Georgia was facing the choice of always being good, but never elite, with him there. They made the leap to try to get better.
