No one is going to be reading or continuing to post in this "Fourth quarter blog" post. <br /><br />As a casual observer, I think Rick's argument was better and his post really should have put you in your place.<br /><br />However, you come off as arrogant and naive, so of course you won't agree.<br /><br />You lost the argument. Your logic is flawed. Your opinion is that of the minority. The sooner you realize this, the better off you'll be. Until then, enjoy your denial.<br /><br />Feel free to reply to this.

(or is that too big a concept for you?)<br /><br />Sorry if I am overly faithful to my team. That is a sin and a label I will <b>proudly</b> bear.<br /><br />And you know what? I'll give Anon @11:20 credit: Jim Harbaugh is about the only coach I could conceive of that would be a definite 'upgrade' (and of course, that would be contingent upon his performance in the SEC).<br /><br />And to Mr. Lawson Bailey: Richt was ultra-successful in his first 5 years. He was reasonably successful in the following 3 years. Go ahead and cite Van Gorder and Smart all you want, but the man at the controls was Richt. You HAVE to honor that, unless you're reacting emotionally and not logically. There is no reason to believe that Richt just stumbled into success.<br /><br />Ergo, your best bet is to give the author of past successes a decent opportunity to create future successes, and not just push him out the door because <b>YOU ALL CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO WAIT A SEASON OR TWO.</b><br /><br />Seriously? Are you that stupid? Do you really think that Richt's current W/L record was just happenstance??? REALLY??? If so, please tell me where you work, so I can avoid those places of business.<br /><br />Give it time. I agree, if '11 is as bad as '09 and as bad as '10 is looking to be, then yes, Richt needs to go, but football isn't something that you can reasonably measure progress or regression across the course of one or two seasons!<br /><br />Oh, and Rick? Go piss up a rope. I didn't say that I <i>just now</i> realized that Bobo needed to be fired... I said that I just now joined the lynch mob seeking his firing. I had my doubts earlier, but I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, because, well, unlike most of the supposed 'fans' out there, I recognize that I haven't been deeply involved in football for twenty something years, and thus there might be something I was missing. Call me crazy...<br /><br />And whether or not you were 'calling' for Richt's firing, you came across as if you were promoting it in your statement, which may as well be the same thing.<br /><br />Bottom line: Richt needs to take over play-calling from Bobo. He at least needs to demote Bobo, possibly fire him. UNTIL he shows that he is <b>unwilling</b> to make the same changes on the offensive side of the ball as he made on the defense last year, Richt is still my coach, regardless of what conspiracy theories and imaginary questions the more... extreme fans raise.<br /><br />Why? Because it makes good SENSE. Because that's the way a logical, non-emotional person makes decisions. Because it's what's best for our 'Dawgs, and by God Almighty, I am nothing if I am not a Georgia Bulldog.Joeskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-70902081744246800862010-10-02T23:59:29.541-04:002010-10-02T23:59:29.541-04:00WillB,

Seems some think it was a flea flicker - I think it was just blown up by the guy coming off the corner or maybe King wasn't expecting the ball. Just another example of bad football regardless. <br /><br />The defense looks like it is playing so fast they are over running plays and getting killed by cut backs. <br /><br />All in all a VERY disappointing early season from a team I thought would win 9 games. I think we have lost 3 games to teams that don't have the athletes we have but I'm as clueless as BoBo as to WTF is wrong. <br /><br />CMR has a monumental task if he is going to get this bunch above .500.

Here's a news flash. Richt is no long...@Joeski<br /><br />Here's a news flash. Richt is no longer a coach that gets 10 wins a year. You can quote averages all you like, but the fact is we are doing less with the same level of talent we've had in past years. We are on track to win 3, maybe 4 games this year. Is there a coach out there that can do better than 4 wins per season? YES. There is.<br /><br />Oh and guess what smart ass, I never said CMR should be fired. It's just my opinion that he WILL be fired. The way the game is today, it's all about recent success and failure, not about your history. Ask Tommy Tuberville about that.<br /><br />But honestly, your opinion doesn't matter. Why you ask? Because you are JUST NOW realizing that Bobo needs to be fired. That's been obvious to 99% of the fanbase for weeks. I deal in the obvious, Joeski, so why don't you STFU?Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121551643122437833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-81111114500177837972010-10-02T23:25:31.344-04:002010-10-02T23:25:31.344-04:00I do not understand the reasoning behind wanting t...I do not understand the reasoning behind wanting to keep Richt just because his was very successful his first 5 years. What over the past 3 season has he shown to make you believe he is capable of turning it around.<br /><br />The most talented coach beside Brian Van Gorder since Richt has been in Athens is Kirby Smart. Richt was so smart he would NOT let Kirby coach on defense. So Kirby left to coach defense for Nick Saban.<br /><br />Richt's inability to evaluate coaching talent is why this team has under achieved. It will not get any better.<br /><br />If you are happy being a middle tier SEC team then lets keep him. Otherwise let Richt go and see if McGarrity learned from Foley how to find an Urban Meyer.<br /><br /><br />Richt inability to evaluate coaching talent isLawson Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953909705378723301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-58590032754559263972010-10-02T23:21:09.279-04:002010-10-02T23:21:09.279-04:00Could be worse.
