You don't wait to make a move like that. You don't want your #1 choice to be in the first year of a new deal and try to pry him away.I look for some schools to hold off on some firings because there will be so many programs looking for coaches. May want to wait another year. This year is going to be crazy.
Ohio State did pretty good last year...I think, if you're the A.D., you absolutely have to consider the injuries this Georgia team has had. I know that Coach Richt has come up short in the big game more than a couple of times, but he's also put his team in a position to do great things.
Seriously though. Imagine our Bama team with our third team quarterback, and without Derrick Henry, and how good would we be?
Richt may indeed end up losing his job, but I think it would be a mistake Georgia would live to regret.

He's not Nick Saban, without question, but since 2001, he's 141-51, won ten games or more nine times, and finished in the Top 10 seven times. If that get's you fired then I don't want to be the next coach at Georgia.

Now that's very possible.I'll bet you most of those 51 games are against ranked opponents!
He's suffered injuries every year. Two questions need to be asked:I think, if you're the A.D., you absolutely have to consider the injuries this Georgia team has had.

Having trouble finding the blue font? ;-)Everyone stop.
Richt is a fine man, Georgia is young, and they will bounce back.
We went Trick or Treating in a group tonight. One of the parents was a Georgia fan and absolutely affronted by the suggestion.
to be fair, they've been saying that since the 80sI don't have a dog in the hunt really, but I consider Georgia to be somewhat of a sleeping giant. That program, with a top notch coach, could really be special.
Kinda hope they keep him around.
'80 was the only NC...2005 was their last SECCDoes anyone know how many SEC and National Championships Georgia won under Dooley?
I can only remember one National Championship.

They won the SEC from 1980-1982. Won the NC in 1980 and lost the de facto NC in the Sugar Bowl in 1981 and 1982. I don't believe Dooly won another SEC title after that. Seems like they won or shared an SEC championship in the mid to late 70s.Does anyone know how many SEC and National Championships Georgia won under Dooley?
