macroboy Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I have some friends that are Georgia fans. They would gladly give him to us........which should say something. Quote Link to comment
The Big Red Machine Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 I don't buy that argument. There are no "gimmes" in the SEC. It's extremely difficult to go undefeated in that conference; even Bama has lost games during their championship years. He has won 2 SEC championships and been to 3 BCS bowls. He is a widely-respected coach, high character, and well-liked by pretty much everyone in the college football community. Plus he's a Nebraska son, grew up a fan of the Huskers, and would love to bring the program back to its former glory. What more could you want? It's absolutely one thing if he was losing one game and they were to the Alabama's and LSUs of the world. It's another to lose to Clemson in your opener and to Mizzou and Vanderbuilt. Clemson, Mizzou, and Vandy would all beat Nebraska. Once again I reiterate that there are no "gimmes" in the SEC, well except for maybe Kentucky, and even they are on the up-and-up. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Big Red Machine Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Nearly every coach (with the exception of Saban and Meyer, neither of whom will come to Nebraska) has struggled in the SEC at some point. Who else hasn't? Who else besides Bama has the dominance you seek? Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 The guy that has all fhe talent in the world and can't win a really down SEC East this year? No thanks. he would be a huge improvement over Pelini! How!? Quote Link to comment
huskerbronco1997 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 IMO Richt is one of the most overrated coaches in the SEC. The state of Georgia is loaded with talent and half the guys go else where, everyone says he can recruit but thats like saying Mack Brown is a great recruiter, well he should be he never has to leave the state to get any players. Nebraska doesnt have that in state talent and i dont see Richt doing anything great to go and sit with big name kids and convince them to play here. He doesnt have anything on his resume that sticks out, well besides coaching in the SEC which to me is a very overrated conference that ESPN tries to make me care about. If you look at his team they lose 2 games a year that you scratch your head about, Vandy? The other thing that is evident is his teams will flat out quick, every 3 or 4 years its quote "their year" and they loose on early and get sad and tank the season and go 9-4 and beat some crappy B1G team in a bowl. To me this does no scream great coach. Quote Link to comment
WAHusker Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 The guy that has all fhe talent in the world and can't win a really down SEC East this year? No thanks. he would be a huge improvement over Pelini! How!? You cant possible be that dense, can you? We just got man handled by F'in MINNESOTA. Not sure if you watched the game, but Paul Rhoades could have won that game with all of our talent. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 we'll give him 8 million a year, and there's no way he can resist... Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 we'll give him 8 million a year, and there's no way he can resist... Who? Saban?! The hell he can't....................the recruiting to Nebraska compared to Alabama is completely different. Quote Link to comment

That wasn't the argument whether or not that those teams would beat NU. It is whether Richt is an improvement or not. It isn't a matter of those three teams beating us, it's whether they have any business beating Georgia. The answer is no. They shouldn't beat Georgia, a school committed to football with a ton of resources and just miles away from all the talent in the world. Richt is in no way shape or form an improvement.

Paul Rhoades and those really tough Cyclones are one week removed from scoring 7 points on literally one of the worst defenses I've ever seen in Baylor. Really tough time believing that. I'm sure Mark Richt has NEVER one time lost to a team he shouldn't have. Wait.... Quote Link to comment

Danimal Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Richt was a great offensive coordinator at Florida State and has been a mediocre head coach given the amount of talent he has access to. In a way his career has followed a similar track to Pelini's and I feel he's better suited to be a coordinator than a head coach. I think he would be an improvement over Pelini, but so would virtually anyone at this point. I think we can do better. This UGA is a great job, hell of a lot easier to recruit at than here, and he's been there a long time, he hasn't been able to get them quite over the hump. Why think he'd do it here? If he comes here it's because this season went just that bad and they can him. When was the last time some other other program's cast-off won big? IMO he'd probably have fewer ugly games than Bo but around the same amount of losses. We'd be a top25 but not championship-level team. Quote Link to comment

ADS Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Yeah, no chance Richt comes here. Just because he's from Omaha doesn't mean he wants to leave UGA. Quote Link to comment
