New contract for Mark Richt expected within 2 weeks (UPDATED)
UPDATED WITH COMMENTS FROM COACH MARK RICHT . . .
ATHENS — I’ve been fielding a lot of questions lately about Georgia coach Mark Richt and his contract extension. Or, more specifically, why isn’t it done yet?
There are a lot of conspiracy theorists out there who are convinced the negotiations have become contentious and/or there might be some sort of hangup. I talked to Athletic Director Greg McGarity Thursday morning and he assures me there’s nothing amiss.
“No,” he said emphatically. “I was gone for 10 days. I was out of the country. So it’s just been a timing thing. Mark was gone for a while, too. He’s had some stuff going on. It’s just been a matter of us not being here. It’ll speed up here over the next 10 or 14 days. But there’s nothing to be concerned about.”
Richt reiterated that sentiment during a conference call with reporters Thursday afternoon.
“It’s going to happen in due time,” Richt said. “I don’t have any anxiety about it at all. There’s some different language in there. When you re-write a contract there’s just things in there that everybody’s got to feel comfortable with. So we’re just ironing out all those things. It’s more just crossing your t’s and dotting your i’s type of stuff. Greg and I are together on our discussions and everything’s going extremely well.”
McGarity confirmed that he and Richt have already agreed in principle on a new deal, which is expected to add at least three years on his current contract. That would extend his agreement with the Bulldogs through the 2016 season.
“I’ve always said that he’d be able to tell this freshman class that he’d be here for their time in the program,” McGarity hinted.
McGarity said he and UGA President Michael Adams briefed the athletic board on the negotiations during executive session of the last meeting on Feb. 5.
“There’s nothing new since then,” he said. “We just haven’t had the time to sit down and go over everything point by point. We’ll do that the next seven to 10 days.”
McGarity would not say if the new contract would include a raise. Including longevity bonuses, Richt earns about $3 million annually from Georgia.
“We’re going to be fair to everybody, but I’m not ready to talk about that,” McGarity said.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING UPDATE
It has been widely reported on fan websites that Georgia has settled on Sherman Armstrong as one of its strength and conditioning hires. While those reports are premature, McGarity confirmed that the speed specialist from Tampa is a strong candidate.
“Sherman is a candidate; we’ve got a lot of people who are candidates for it,” McGarity said of Armstrong, who currently runs V.A.S.T. Training in Tampa. “I can confirm that he was here last week interviewing. He had a great, great visit here. Everybody was very impressed. So, absolutely, he’s in the hunt. But we have not formally offered a job to anybody right now.”
Georgia has lost three members of its strength and conditioning staff since the end of last season. John Kasay retired, Keith Gray took a job with the Philadelphia Eagles and Thomas Brown accepted a job as a running backs coach at UT-Chattanooga. That leaves the Bulldogs with three full-time staffers — director Joe Tereshiniski and assistants Rex Bradberry and Tony Gilbert.
NCAA rules that go into effect this fall have capped the limit at five for strength and conditioning staffs. So Georgia’s in the market for two full-time hires. It appears now that one of those will used on a speed specialist.
“The bottom line is we brought Sherman in for that purpose, for us to go into that direction,” McGarity said.
Asked what the timeline is on completing the strength and conditioning staff, McGarity said, “A-S-A-P.”

I like the hire. This is clearly a guy on the cutting edge of S/C – meaning functional strength – strength that it useful and is connected to power/speed. I don’t know Joe T’s program/approach but I was concerned when he was hiredthat by being “old school” it wouldn’t take advantage of the many new approaches to conditioning. I like “old school” as far as attitude goes but not necessarily as far as the actual training. This is a definite upgrade and can only make the Dawgs better. A nice complement to the “old school” part of the program.

Every head coach has at least 3 years on their contract for recruiting purposes.

Not if you are trying consider the current landscape of the SEC. The SEC has improved and UGA hasn’t really come along. Who was the last SEC champion (other then the LSU/Bama debacle) who didn’t win the MNC? With Saban, Miles, Petrino, and the return of Spurrier, Richt isn’t getting any free passes anymore. He is lucky Meyer left.

So is everyone in the East daddo. Richt backed into an East title last year by hanging on to beat Vandy, beating the worst UF team since 1990 by only 4 points late in the 4th Qtr, barely beating Ole Miss and Missy St, and losing to the Evil Genius. Course we also need to mention losing to Boise who was “loaded” with 1,2 and 3 star recruits. Oh yea did I mention Murray’s debacle against Mich St?

what GT Bob and I are trying to say (Geesh, can’t believe I’m agreeing with Northside Dr. nerd), is that while the other SEC teams have progressed…..Richt and his 90’s FSU coaching style has been left by the wayside
….and please folks, don’t talk to me about last year’s 10 win season, we were still 1-4 against ranked teams last year!!!

Agree KB, 2012 is ANOTHER critical year for Richt…..so why give him a guaranteed contract now!!!!
Everything (i.e. schedule) is set up for Richt to return to the Dome for the conf championship game and this time actually WIN it instead of being just happy to be there
If Richt wins it…..then give him the fat, rich contract and I’ll keep by trap shut.
What’s happened to this country….you know, reward for performance….geez what a concept!!!

Bob, If you don’t see that Georgia has improved dramatically since 2010 , you don’t want to see.
They improved. I wouldn’t say dramatically. In 2010 they lost a few they could have won. In 2011 they won a few that they could have lost. In 2010 they had to deal with Cam Newton, a decent Miss St team, and Arkansas. They dodged all of that in 2011. They played at most 4 good teams and they lost to all 4. Name one quality win for UGA in 2011.

Spokesman, Bama lost to Spurrier last time they played, and didn’t see bama blowing Miss. state away last year either. Bama had a great year last year ,and Saban is doing a great job.Maybe this year they will the west division and not back into playing for the BCS title. Richt is 3-1 vs Bama, You should know they played football at Bama before 07, but with the winless seasons of 2005, 2006 and 2 wins in 2007 , the loss to UL Monroe didn’t have to be vacated.

so your still recruiting 20 2 stars today with no chance of ever getting a 5 star? Great progress Bob.
In his 4 full recruiting years CPJ has only signed 11 two stars total. Either way we will never get great talent, that is why CPJ is here.

If you think Florida and Tennessee are gonna continue to be sub-500 teams like they were in 2011…forget it. UGA won the East because we didn’t suck as bad as the other teams in the East.
As a reward, we get crushed by LSU, then lose to a big Ten Team in a bowl game. Nice work, give that man another $10 million.
This isn’t Ole Miss, UGA IS THE RICHEST FOOTBALL PROGRAM IN THE SEC, in the richest recruiting ground in the SEC.

6-18, You seem passionate about what you say. But why did you only select the last 5 years? And why the final BCS standings? To be fair to Richt and accurate as well, why not include the man’s entire record? Further what is his record against those teams, using their ranking at the time the game was played? You can use selective statistics to justify any position that you want. But that doesn’t make them necessarily accurate or representative of their true value.

3-12, 6-18: You’re problem is you’re going by end-of-year BCS rankings. I’m not disputing the results, that’s just not how the official records are kept. Records against ranked opponents are compiled via what the ranking was at the time the teams played and not the BCS rankings because they are a compilation and don’t come out until October. That’s just a fact.
Like any other thing regarding statistics, you can skew them to support whatever premise you want to make. Clearly you don’t think Richt’s a good coach and you’re using that statistic to support your case. Fine. I’m just pointing out from an objective standpoint exactly what the historical record indicates.

I like the hire. This is clearly a guy on the cutting edge of S/C – meaning functional strength – strength that it useful and is connected to power/speed. I don’t know Joe T’s program/approach but I was concerned when he was hiredthat by being “old school” it wouldn’t take advantage of the many new approaches to conditioning. I like “old school” as far as attitude goes but not necessarily as far as the actual training. This is a definite upgrade and can only make the Dawgs better. A nice complement to the “old school” part of the program.
***************************************************************************************************

Further what is his record against those teams, using their ranking at the time the game was played?
Why would the ranking when they played be more important then the final ranking? Texas and Florida were top 5 teams to start the 2010 season. Should the teams that beat them really get credit for beating top 5 teams? Should Kansas have gotten credit for beating a top 15 team when they beat GT in 2010?

GtBob, you might want to take a look at some of those 2 and 3 star players chan recruited, that went on to NFL careers.Chan recruited while on probation with scholarship and roster limitations. After appearing in the ACC title game in 2006 and UGA having a down year (9-4) Gailey recruited kept momentum going by landing one the most highly regarded Recruiting classes tech had. what did Johnson do to keep momentum going #40 whatever classes?Would Johnson still be coaching at tech if gailey wouldn’t have had that recruiting class? Richt would most likely recruit well at any school therefore would always have better players than Johnson, Johnson probably one of the worst recruiters around. Does he ever hit on his top targets?

“I just want to remind everyone that there are three (3) games that UGA barely lost between 2002 and 2007 that would have sent us to the BCS Championship Game. Take any of those games and turn them into a win and UGA is playing for the National Championship Title!”
_________________________________________________________
That is the whole entire point, Charlie, as Joey has been pointing out. In 2002, there was only 1 other SEC team who ended up in the Coaches’ Poll Top 25, a 4-loss Auburn, Charlie. Florida did not. Florida was a horrible team in 2002, yet Mark Richt’s offense managed a grand total of ZERO -0- Nada 1st Downs on 3rd Down Conversions at 0-11 on 3rd Down Conversions the ENTIRE GAME. How in the heck did Ron Zook end up with a winning record vs Mark Richt with the whole entire team all going to the NFL ? No excuse for that loss, none.

Or, again, are you just WISHING SUCH LOSSES AWAY ?
The point that Joey makes is crystal clear.
WE LOSE SUCH GAMES ON A CONTINUING BASIS.
We have LOST such games from 2001 to today.
2001 we beat the # 4 team in the nation the vols; and we LOST four (4) games 2001. How does a team who can beat # 4 vols, lose with again that whole team on the NFL too, to 4 teams in 2001 ? We lost game after game against team we had no business losing to, as Joey has tried to tell you Charlie, to have you run in here and say you are reminding us that Mark Richt has been ever so close to having a truly great season.
NO HE HAS NOT.
He has LOST to teams with less talent than we had or equal talent to us, a grand total of 30 times in the last 8 years.
IF there is ANYTHING to take from that, is that we C
CONTINUE to do so with Mark Richt.
Thomas Brown
February 23rd, 2012
3:53 pm
Get over the EXCUSES, and LIES that Mark Richt has been close, and try to figure out what it is Joey is sharing that Mark Richt LOSES these games every year.
16 times Mark Richt LOST to a team who did not even finish up in the AP Poll Top 25 without beating him in his 11 years to-date, with MORE of the SAME ahead.
10 of the 16 LOSSES over these 11 years are against teams who did not even finish up in The AP Poll Top 25 EVEN WITH THEIR WIN OVER MARK RICHT.
It’s sad.
It’s coaching.
Recruiting ?
Mark Richt is a world-class recruiter averaging # 8 all 12 years for his recruiting rankings.
And, he has LOST 30 games these current 8 years now of his career nowadays against teams with LESSER TALENT or EQUAL TALENT to his teams.
So, you run in here and announce he was close in 2002 and 2007.
Horseshoes, hand grenades and atomic weapons…
That’s what counts for being close…
In the meantime, what Mark Richt CONSISTENTLY has done all 11 years now, is to LOSE GAMES he has NO BUSINESS LOSING.
ARE YOU realizing that Mark Richt continues to LOSE the very games you want to bring up ?
ARE YOU WISHING AWAY THOSE LOSSES, Charlie?

2.) Did that upset you?
3.) You want another one like that?
4.) You don’t want Richt back? Who do you hire?
5.) You don’t want the extension? Are you willing to live with the results both in recruiting and on the field?
Just think a little bit about it, then answer.
If we don’t improve over 2011, Richt will be held accountable to McGarity, who wants to win badly.
Contracts and extensions are for recruiting purposes primarily. UGA could can Richt at the end of the season, buy him out, and go hire another coach and the money drawer will still be full.

Most of the Georgia fan’s that are still upset that Richt is getting an extension are young and haven’t learned patience yet. I am not taking up for CMR but he did go 10-4 last year and if Walsh has an average year last year Georgia win’s at least 2 more and if Murray doesn’t panic and turn the ball over 3 time’s a game in the one’s we lost we may have won one more.
Since McGarity and Grantham has joined our team we have made huge progress. McGarity and Grantham has only had one year each to turn the program around. Some will say Grantham has had two year’s but he was hired in January of 2010 and the recruit’s that were signed were recruited for the 4-3 not the 3-4. So Grantham had to bring his own recruit’s in ,2011 was his first year and retrain the rest of the defense. McGarity has redone the entire Strength and Conditioning department because the old coaches and old way were a complete embarrassment. When you make head coaching changes is can cause a disruption for your team that can last for many year’s and CMR does recruit well. His only problem is accepting very sub par work from some of the coaches and two of the coordinator’s, Garner and Bobo.
Georgia has a very experienced defense and Quarterback this year along with the easiest schedule in Georgia history because a lot of the East team’s are having those huge problem , that I was talking about, after head coaching changes and with Grantham second full year and another year with Coach T Georgia has no excuse in not winning 11 to 14 games.
I have to give McGarity at least one more year to get this program right and I don’t think he will settle for not winning championship’s. I would not give Richt a monetary raise but I would give him huge bonuses for winning championship’s. 10- 4 on paper look’s good but when you factor in the way we won 10 game’s it’s not very impressive. The reason you have to give Richt a little more time is because he was willing to make a lot of changes now the question is will that be enough.

I have no problem supporting Mark Richt but I will be bloodydarned if you are going to come on here and say how great he has been.
He has been anything but great.
He has been, in fact, mediocre.
Great recruiting.
Poor coaching staff decisions and their coaching of these recruits, poor to prepare his recruits for games, poor to beat top-ranked teams, poor at losing to too many teams with way inferior talent, poor at offense, poor at special teams, poor at motivation, poor at discipline, and poor at keeping UGA out of bad press for these recruits he gets so much credit for bringing here – when everyone knows the kids want to play at Georgia.
The facts are we are being eaten alive in-state now.
77 scholarships.
8 under the limit.
26 players transferred out or were kicked off and transferred whom Mark Richt gave scholarships to to play this up-coming 2012 season.
7 losses in row vs teams finishing top 10
9 losses in row vs teams finishing top 25

@GTBob, Richt was a great recruiter at Fl. State, the position coach for 2 heisman winners and has recruited countless nfl players, players want to play for coaches like him.They apparently don’t want to play for coaches like PJ. That 2007 Gailey recruitng class made PJs career.

How has Florida State’s recruiting been since Richt left? How about after Bobby Bowden left? Number 6 class this year, number 2 last year. Florida State must be another one of those lucky schools who always hire great recruiters.

Had to leave M.C.s recruiting blog. Listening to Bammers thump their chest gave me a headache. Congratulations Coach Richt, hope you make the most of this opportunity. I am a Bulldog for life. That’s the Good, the Bad and the Bobo. If you don’t use the talent on your team better this year, we will again lose to S.C., maybe Missouri, and LSU or Alabama in the championship game. It’s not enough to get there and then get blown out. I saw very little adjustments at halftime last year when we were having problems moving ball on good defenses. No imagination from Bobo this year equals failure in 2012. Defense is in good hands. To take the next step may take you lighting a fire under your friend Bobo. We can’t get into the top tier, until we beat Alabama, LSU,S.C. Am I wrong about this, or is it OK for UGA to be a mid-level SEC team? We can win with the talent we have. Its not a lack of.talent, it’s flawed offensive philosophy. You are the HC, fire-up your O.C. or take over playcalling.

He’s the deal on Mark Richt:
Great person, good coach, mediocre talent evaluator, sub-par coaching from his assistants. Richt can win with B level talent, but when he has NFL caliber guys like Stafford, Moreno, and AJ, he underachieves. He just can’t put it together when the expectations are high. Richt will consistently win UGA games, but he lacks the true hunger that great coaches have to propel their teams to greatness.
Say what you want about Nick Saban, but when it comes to building a college football program, the guy knows what he is doing. He demands excellence and gets it. Richt and his staff do a good job of playing spoiler, at times knocking off good teams. There are also times when Richt’s teams appear to be on the verge of contending, but then the team will either have a let down or the coaching staff will put together a stinker of a game plan that will cost them a bone head game, one that knocks them out of contention.
This in a nutshell is UGA football under Mark Richt. Consistently good but not great. Sometimes VERY good, but still good. So the question is: does UGA continue to settle for good? At this juncture, you have to say yes. 1. Because there is no other hot coaching prospects out there right now, and 2. you can’t NOT give a coach a contract extension when he wins 10 games in a row with a young football team( yeah the schedule was weak, but it’s not Richt’s fault the competition sucked). So give him a 3 year deal. That is enough of a reward without it making him complacent. But it will probably end up being another 4-5 year deal.

UGA fans usually fall into one of two camps:
1. Hate Mark Richt and the perceived mediocrity he brings to the table. They want him gone, post haste.
2. Love Mark Richt the human being and enjoy the level of success that he has brought to the program over the past 11 years. They want him here forever.
I am a HUGE UGA fan and I fall somewhere in between the two camps. I respect Richt as a man and am happy for the success he has achieved. He has certainly elevated UGA from the Goff and Donnan eras. CMR has never won fewer than 10 games in a season where he returns his starting QB from the previous year. That is impressive.
BUT…Richt does not seem to be able to get over the hump and into that upper echelon of elite coaching status. He is a notch below guys like Meyer, Saban, Spurrier, even Les Miles. He lacks that “fire” that is needed to get us to the promised land…the promised land of competing for national titles. This is evidenced by his putrid record against Florida and his super-conservative play calling in OT against Michigan State in the bowl game this year. That game sums up Richt: he played for the field goal in OT, probably wanting to send Blair Walsh out on a high note in his senior season…a season in which he could be described as inconsistent at best. Instead of worrying about your kicker’s feelings, why not pound the rock or even go play action and GO FOR THE TD and the sure win. That is Richt in a nutshell: nice guy who doesn’t want to lay it all on the line and go for the end zone. He doesn’t mind settling for a field goal…attempt.
That being said, I will fully back our coach, whoever he may be. (Except Kirby Smart. Anyone who thinks that dude is the answer needs a full frontal lobotomy. Our next coach does not need to be a project…he needs to be a proven commodity.)

Hey, BamaBoy,
12 National Championships? … The Real Story
I just wanted to clear up a few misconceptions about Alabama’s claim to 12 national championships based on fact rather than bias. Credit is given where credit is due.
To clear up confusion, the word retroactive means they went back in time to award the championship.
‘TWELVE’ national championships is fraudulent, nothing but pure bunk ginned up by the SID Department. Here’s a rundown:
1925 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with Dartmouth. Who awarded the NC? Houlgate and Helms. Houlgate started his system in 1927. So Bama won their 1925 NC using a formula that didn’t exist until 1927? Helms Athletic Foundation started in 1941. Another incredible retroactive NC.
The Associated Press Poll has been active since 1936. The AP took their final poll prior to bowl games from 1936 – 1964 and in 1966 and 1967. They took their final poll after the bowl games in 1965 and from 1968 – Current.
1926 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with 3 other teams with equal or better records! Once again it is the Helms Athletic Foundation in 1941 that awards it!
1930 National Championship- The Davis poll says that Bama tied Notre Dame for NC this year. This was the only one to award it to Bama. Notre Dame was named NC in 6 polls! Parke Davis is another retroactive system! He (an individual, not an organization) did his in 1933!
1934 National Championship- Alabama says they share this with two other teams. The awarders are Dunkel, Williamson, and Football Thesaurus. Dunkel was an individual who came up with his own system. Williamson was a geologist who came up with his own system. Football Thesaurus first appeared in 1946!
1941 National Championship- This is a complete joke. The AP ranked Alabama 20th in the nation with 14 teams with better records in the top 20. Once again it is the Football Thesaurus that retroactively awards it. Alabama finished 3rd in the SEC that year. Mississippi State won the SEC title..yet Bama claims a National title!
1961 National Championship- Finally a legitimate NC. .
1964 National Championship- While the AP did award the NC to Bama (10-1-0), Arkansas had the better record, 11-0. Alabama played Texas in their bowl and LOST. The AP final poll was before the bowl.
1965 National Championship- The AP gave this to Bama. That year there were three teams with better records than Bama. Bama 9-1-1, Michigan St 10-1-0, Arkansas 10-1-0, Nebraska 10-1-0.
1973 National Championship- AP puts Bama 4th after their bowl game loss. Bama claims a NC from the UPI poll that was taken before they met Notre Dame in the bowl game and lost. There were 3 teams with better records than Bama that year. The embarrassment of naming Alabama number one caused the UPI to name champions after bowl games. Yet Bammer has no shame in claiming it of course.
1978 National Championship- AP gives this to Alabama(11-1-0) even though USC (12-1-0) had the better record Guess who Alabama lost to that year? USC!!!!!!!!!. UPI gave the NC to USC.
1979 National Championship- Their second legitimate NC. Their first Unanimous NC.
1992 National Championship- Their third legitimate NC. Their second Unanimous NC.
You can see why people ridicule Bama fans when they talk about 12 NCs. The early ones were awarded by individuals years after the games were played. These weren’t consensus polls but NCs awarded by people that had their own formula for determining champions. Some NCs were given before bowl games that Bama lost. Using Alabama logic, Auburn could claim four national championships. But when Bammers brag they like to say they have twelve and Auburn has one. How silly. The NCAA recognizes 6 NCs for Bama and there are only two NCs that Bama has unanimously. You can’t find an Auburn site claiming four national championships but there are plenty Bama sites claiming twelve. 0diggs

As a Georgia fan it pains me to see that a Tech fan is the only rational individual on this blog. GTBob.
Richt is an average coach, it’s not a fluke, it’s an 11 year sample size. We consistently fold againt good teams because of poor dicipline, erratic and mind boggling play calling, guys out of position, lack of toughness on the line of scrimmage, player dicipline on and off the field, and lack of conditioning. We will have a great win and follow it up with pitiful perfomances.
He’s going to win 8-9 games a year. He does have a .500 or better record against every coach in the league, but we’re no real threat………
But that is a lame standard for a school that ought to roll out of bed and win 10 games.
We get 32 point beatdowns from teams we could buy and sell because we put up with it. Alabama and LSU are the flagships schools of two crap states. Georgia has bigger alumni bases, is a much better school, and has more money than both. And they could raise a hell of a lot more money if they’d win 11 games instead of 9 and play in the MNC game every once in a while.
The difference is that Alabama & Louisiana State DEMAND winning. They’ll fire a coach in a minute for being average. They don’t put up with being average…….partly because they don’t have anything else to do, but that’s beside the point.
Georgia fans wax nostalgic about a tailback who’s been gone for 30 years.
When Georgia stops putting up with average, they’ll stop getting average.

CMR is a player’s coach, beloved by his players (Top Recruiter), but fans dislike him for his lack of having the ( Killer Instinct ) . He is a shining light to 16,17 yr old kids who lack having the father figure at home that every kid desires. You can’t fault him for it , it’s who he is. There are many coaches like him in the NFL , they don’t get to stay long unless the wins out way the losses. Joe Gibbs being a great example has won championships. But the fact is this is his 11th year, no championship yet, but I think he’ll get it before he leaves Georgia! And if he doesn’t you can blame Adams, he has the 2nd most profitable program yet we still lack a special teams coordinator ! The championship winning schools use more of there expendable profits!

Your only satisfaction in life is to come over to our board and try and rain on our parade…last year ~ top 10 ranked defense, SEC East Champions, another stellar recruiting class, one of the best QB’s in the league, and yet another boring drubbing of the Tech scumbags…… we lost to SC, true – they didn’t beat us, we beat ourslelves – it’s still a loss, but we were certainly not outclassed in that game. And the M. State game was disappointing. Boise State had a team filled with 19 5th year seniors – they were a solid club and LSU, before being shut down by Bama, was being called the greatest team to take the field in recent memory – and we more than hung with them for a half before their depth took over. I would not apologize for any of that – you wipes at Tech are the ones who need to look at your schedule and winning percentages and figure out what you have done over there recently. The fact is – you have nothing to add to this conversation – Tech turns in another top 100 recruiting class and still has that fantastic coaching staff intact that is running the greatest running offense in America that gets you nowhere year in and year out. And oh, there is that ACC title forfeiture thing you still are dealing with, isn’t there? Dawgs are climbing back up – Tech is sliding right down – there is order in the universe. A ten win season in the SEC in any year is not a bad thing – how many ten win seasons has Tech had in the past 50 years? Let me see, I need one hand minus two fingers to figure that one out.. The Dawgs are banging on the glass ceiling – Tech, as usual, is trying to dig its way into the ACC cellar. Good luck next year – you will most certainly need it. Under Richt, one and ten – can I get, an AMEN? Bottom line – TECH SUCKS!

Richt’s weakness as a coach is also what makes him such a great recruiter. He has a very laid back, hands off approach towards his players that appeals to young kids headed away from home for the first time. However. for those without discipline and/or time management skills this can spell problems.

We got to give Coach Richt the contracts extendsion. That because we won East and he keeps recruiting Dream Teams. With long term deal he can show recruits he be at UGA long time. That is goods for recruiting especially for talents and speed needed in SEC. Then Dawgs has talents to dominants league.
Go Dawgs!

All this talk of still trying to hot sit Coach Richt is the bad fans that needing to be hot sitting. McG know what he doing in extends Coach Richt who know how winning with talents and Christian. But McG got to stands up and smack down Adams and his pointy heads that trying to choking the recruiting. Then Dawgs can sign better than Bammers without no Adams restrictoins.
Go Dawgs!

Richt holding out for more money based on last season? Better wait until the end of the 2013 season before a ten year extension, McGarity.
