Yeah, I wouldn't say that a coach who has averaged 10 wins per year and has two SEC titles can't coach. I think that perhaps he doesn't have the same drive as he once did. Perhaps he tries to have a family life and doesn't work twenty hours a day, which shouldn't be considered a character flaw. However, his teams have played soft for a few years now, and coaching is definitely a what have you done for me lately career. He will be fine without Georgia, and Georgia will be fine without him. Let's see if he can turn things around this year. I think USC will beat them by at least ten this weekend, but UGA's schedule is pretty easy after that.

This is also a very good point. I think he is a good coach, but he isn't quite on the level of some of the others.

I too get tired of the "Richt is a good man" argument. He doesn't get paid $3.5 per year to be a "good guy", he gets paid to win.

Four years? Two years is more like it...
Georgia over the last four seasons:
2007: 11-2
2008: 10-3
2009: 8-5
2010: 6-7
That's 8.75 wins/season over the last four years and an overall win % of 67%.
I agree the fans want someone to win games, but in 2007 and 2008 Meyer, Spurrier, Miles and Saban were in the league and Richt was 21-5 (.807).
I think fans are simply reacting to 'everyone else' in the SEC winning National Championships - while Richt has done a pretty good job getting to (and winning) the SECCG, they've not played for it all under his watch.
averages and such can be deceiving. his/their performance in the past three years (coinciding with "the blackout" has been pretty bad and getting worse. their performance against BSU wasn't just a team that needs to iron out a few wrinkles to get everything going right. they were flat out embarrassed, and it is not the first embarrassment for them in the past couple of years.

i get sick of it when the "hes a good guy" stuff gets thrown around to cover up for poor performance. part of it is i have been hearing this stuff in GA for years and it gets tiresome.
True just the last 2 seasons have been bad by their standards, but it has been 4 years in a row that they've seen their win total go down (and this year could easily be a 5th.)

I'm not saying 11 or 10 wins isn't impressive. It is. But the 10 win season came with a preseason #1 ranking and the expectations of a National Title.
And as I think more about it - those teams (07 & 08) were built before CNS, Miles and Meyer were building their own powerhouses - he was able to recruit in GA almost with zero competition. Not so any more...
Also a good point. We've raided that state like never before, as has every other coach worth their salt.
Those are good attributes.............for a preacher. And for a CFB coach too for that matter, but unfortunately they aren't enough for a CFB coach making 3.5 mil per year. He's gonna be expected to win games too, a LOT of games.
I think that the problem is that he's not dealing with choirboys.Redstar said:
He's dealing with a bunch of overindulged 18 year-olds that have typically been allowed to do what they want and haven't been made to answer for it.
Some of them need a bit firmer hand upside their head to control them. He may be just too nice.
I was just surprised to see the defense come out and play every bit as poorly as last year. There was no improvement at all and they still seemed to be making the same mistakes they did last year (blown coverage's and poor tackling).
I have to give some credit to Kellen Moore because he is a ver good QB and was able to find the open man every time, but UGA's defense looked like they didn't do anything to improve during the off-season.

While true, there is no doubt in my mind in my mind that they were the best team in the country at the end of the 2007 season. They had some early losses early, but would have killed LSU and tOSU if UT hadn't went to the SECCG. That was the reasoning for their #1 ranking to begin the 2008 season. For whatever reason it has been downhill since 2008 season, and specifically the blackout game .
well if you throw in 2006..when he went 7-5...it doesn't look all that great.
I agree to a point, Richt lost this team and program several years ago. No discipline at all. But how can you expect 18-22 yr. old players to have or play with any pride or desire when they look like clowns.I don't think they worried about the uniforms at all. The players & coaches didn't design them or pick them out, the UGA administration gave permission to Nike to make some changes.
Most UGA fans know have now accepted the fact that Richt needs to go. The UGA fan I know is hoping Boise & Alabama run the table so Boise can see how a "real SEC team" plays football.
One thing that stood out to me was the uga players were the ones getting cramps. They being in the sec should be able to over come this. I do believe that Richt said last year he is not putting his team thru two a days. This is a sign of what kind of coach he is.
