Landlord Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 LSU's AD (department) is reeking of incompetency after this whole charade. Basically the boosters and the director wanted him gone, but then they realized how much public backlash they would get if they made such an idiotic decision. Georgia getting rid of Richt is sad because he's been a good coach for them and an even better person, but also totally understandable. He's underachieved consistently for a long time now - really no excuse in the world for Georgia to not be winning the East the last several years. I wouldn't call 144-51 underachieving..Head coaching record Overall 144–51 Bowls9–5 I didn't say his entire career was underachievement. I meant over the last several years. 2008 - 10-3 (6-2 in conference) 2009 - 8-5 (4-4 in conference) 2010 - 6-7 (3-5 in conference) 2011 - 10-4 (7-1 in conference) 2012 - 12-2 (7-1 in conference) 2013 - 8-5 (5-3 in conference) 2014 - 10-3 (6-2 in conference) 2015 - 9-3 (5-3 in conference) He's basically been Bo Pelini with one worse year and one better year. No conference championships or BCS bowl games with top 5-10 recruiting classes every year, a wealth of talent and resources, and lately, a division prime for the taking. Not at all a bad coach but I understand the decision. 1 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 15 seasons and blown out by Florida the last two years. Found a way to give up 400+ yards to the Gators in each of the last two years against Treon Harris....that's pretty awful. GOAT I know you love him, but it was absolutely time for him to go. Just could never seem to win the big games. Quote Link to comment
RADAR Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'm just spitballing here, but I venture to guess he does not end up a Youngstown St. Quote Link to comment
Branno Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Odds are Georgia's next head coach doesn't have a losing record next year. Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I would certainly take him here Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Mavric mentioned in another thread, and if you google him the rumor is Herman will replace Richt Quote Link to comment
Dansker Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Odds are Georgia's next head coach doesn't have a losing record next year. Yeah rumors are swirling that Tom Herman is in at UGA. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Richt has about same record as Tom Osborne did over his first 15 years. Averaging almost 10 wins per year and he did win a couple champsionships and so on. His record is arguably better than Pelinis and as far as I know he has no off field issues and I presume he has no behavior problems on the field. But they want more. Also, I believe Georgia as a state has quite a few players and many are being recruited out to other top programs and that probably torques a few alums as well. I think this indicates that winning coaches do get fired (arguably I would say Richt is more respected and appreciated as a coach than Pelini) so that ends the 'well, Nebraska fired a 9 win coach - they are nuts argument.

Not at all a bad coach but I understand the decision. Except Richt is respected more as an individual in CFB than Bo ever was. If one were to compare that resume to the coach we have now we'd be hard pressed not to go after someone like Richt. I think UGA made a mistake, IMO. Makes me wonder if Bob Devaney or Tom Osborne would have endured the world we live in today. My gut says no. Quote Link to comment

It doesn't end it, it only makes it barely more common. Before this season, the only recent history comparisons of similar situations were at Tennessee with Fulmer and Ohio State with whoever the guy was before Tressel. Quote Link to comment
ithinkiloverg44 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Twitter saying see what happens with us next year and richt would be perfect here. Would we want richt? I think maybe Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Odds are Georgia's next head coach doesn't have a losing record next year. Yeah rumors are swirling that Tom Herman is in at UGA. As soon as my buddy told me today that Richt was gone. I knew that Herman was going to be the guy. There is no one else. I'm sure their administration did their homework first to see if Herman was interested, and then fired Richt after. This is so effing stupid. All these other schools are consistently proactive on getting a huge name in. VaTech with Fuente. Georgia with Herman. We're stuck with the nerd in the room who everyone respects but honestly no one wants to hang out with. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hunter94 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Maybe if Les Miles is fired it will help end iur reputation of being the only program to have too high of standards... LSU AD backed Miles says he is staying. He was informed after the game vs. Texas A&M. Ah, missed that. Thanks smart, LSU would have played hell upgrading from Miles......Georgia and Missouri are going to struggle too. Quote Link to comment
GOAT Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Anyone who doesn't want Richt here is off his/her rocker. What more could you possibly want in a coach, with the exception of perhaps youth? Even the ESPN and sports media guys are saying he'd be the perfect fit here. I have no doubt that he'll sit out a year and see how things go at Nebraska next year -- Richt could end up being Eichorst's "savior" if things don't go well. At least he'd assemble an elite staff. 1 Quote Link to comment
