I think the true stance you have to take is if hypothetically in 2007, if saban was off the table and only an older spurrier, who hadn't done jack by that time at USCe, and mark richt were on the table; who would you take?
Mark Richt is a good man
- Thread starter rizolltizide
- Start date
Spurrier. Richts name wasn't even in the mix. It's never in the mix for any job, for a reason.
He's a good man. I don't see how anyone can argue that. That is what the thread question was about, or am I mistaken?
I don't really think Bama was that "stacked" last year - there were some upper-class players who were never really as good consistently as expected (all defense except maybe 3 or 4 starters). Offensively, some players under-performed for various reasons; difference is, they won't do it again this year at Bama. At Georgia, it's an annual event. I don't really think the flub on the missed fg return can compare to the completed pass-deflection-that-should-have-been-knocked-down-on-fourth-down. JMO
My brother (who is also a Tide fan) hates CMR for reasons I don't understand. I've always thought fans either love him or hate him including Georgia's fans. My impression of him is that he is a genuinely good guy but I have to admit I don't know him personally. Anyone can present a favorable impression through media (assuming they've taken care of their business). As a coach however, either he is very unlucky or is just not a top-tier coach. I'd take the latter. He should easily have had a NC by now with the talent from that state -- that's even with our own CNS grabbing up a lot of State of Georgia recruits in the last few years. I think someone has it wrong... UGA fans would love to fire him since he has little to show -- the AD McGarrity is the one holding onto him. All that being said, I hope he retires there and smashes Vince Dooley's win record. I'm ok with the East remaining mediocre

Reminded of the old line... 'and good guys finish last'... Coach Richt is likely a good man, but is that enough in a football coach? I wonder how many Richt supporters still believe he can take Ga. to the next level?
Think back... Coach Saban told us his goals were for everyone to hate us, and no one would want to play us.
After the Shula era it sounded kind of far fetched, but CNS returned us to the glory years. (Quickly)
(He didn't do it by being Mr. Nice Guy)
It shocked the nation when Coach Saban turned around our program in record time. It shocked the nation when CNS was paid a salary that the pundits thought was extremely excessive. Everyone thought Mal had lost it when he went after Coach Saban.
The press still hates Coach Saban, fans of other schools still hate him, unless they are trying to lure him away from Alabama.
In answer to the unasked question... Coach Saban will never be a media favorite. He doesn't put up with foolish questions, or foolish reporters.
IMO: Coach Richt would waste his time and energy on non essentials, like foolish questions.
Probably why CMR is a media darling, and Coach Saban is likely the #1 coach in the country.

i dont know mark richt and could'nt care less what type of "man" he is. all things considered, he's a pretty mediocre coach at a pretty mediocre program. i'm perplexed as to why so many non-georgia fans feel the need to bend over backwards to aver that mark richt is such a good man. the world is full of good men and women, and a lot of them actually do their jobs well.

Let's assume Mark Richt is a very good man. But let's also assume that a team is a reflection of its coach. The players of this good man can go half a season without showing discipline, sportsmanship or class.
Sorry RTR, but I have no animus toward Mark Richt the person. I do not like how his players behave on and off the field.

My question is this though... He may be a good coach but what if bama wasn't on probation in 02 and didn't lose prothro in 05 would richt still have a job with all the hot seat speculations every other year. Granted he beat us in overtime in 03 but if you take out the auburn game we were a better team late in the year.
yeah, but we get to offset those three with three crystal trophies and saban. they just have mark richt and summer pool parties
The problem with compare those would be Utah and Oklahoma we had nothing to gain but everything to lose while those teams had the opposite. The la Monroe Idk, but then again saban lost to uab.
But richt got Boise 1st game of the season with way more talent and practically a home game.
Well UGA did win a NC in 1980. Bama and AU didn't even play for one during that decade. I agree though UGA has been like Texas in underachieving.

This is how myself and many people I talk with feel about Richt. Would gladly welcome him for a round of golf or dinner. Wish his team showed more class. Hard to pull of Ga because of it.
