But, I think Coach Richt's career will be just fine. Richt's career will end when he wants it to, and special teams will have nothing to do with it (despite the internet hyperbole).JoshG.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-53606902350211510992009-08-19T22:27:08.429-04:002009-08-19T22:27:08.429-04:00I agree with the comments above.

If anything, it just gets worse.<br /><br />~~~IveyLeaguernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-66376348819291720652009-08-19T22:00:26.926-04:002009-08-19T22:00:26.926-04:00I thought C.

Moreover, why the need for two PRs? The implication is that Prince isn't sure handed enough or bright enough to field the ball close the goalline correctly. The whole premise that we need two PRs is insulting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-20346477366341583072009-08-19T21:18:30.613-04:002009-08-19T21:18:30.613-04:00Special teams are going to be the doom of Richt...Special teams are going to be the doom of Richt's career. <br /><br />He has got to be joking about Logan Gray returning punts and Richard Samuel returning kickoffs. <br /><br />Samuel is not good at returning kickoffs. It is very simple. We had to watch Tyson Browning try to return kicks for 2 years and he could not do it. Samuel cannot do it either. <br /><br />He is too big and is a straight ahead runner with not much shake or the requisite acceleration to return kickoffs. Oh, and he is our starting tailback. <br /><br />This news, combined with the continued lunacy of our kickoff strategy has me firmly convinced that Richt has no idea that special teams can win or lose games. <br /><br />I am beside myself with this news. It's just terrible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
