The people wanting him fired or just wanting to bash him would still do their thing, no matter what he said.<br /><br />When you win whatever you say is brilliant, when you lose whatever you say is picked apart and held up as evidence that you suck and everything you do is doomed to fail forever.<br /><br />Whatever. Richt is a great coach and has proven that over many years (both at UGA and FSU), so I think there's a lot of reason to think good changes will be made and we'll reload for another good run through the Murray years.

I'm with you on the talent for next yea...Anon,<br /><br />I'm with you on the talent for next year, but I think you're overstating it a bit. We don't know much about how "shut down" Smith will be, we know nothing about Murray or Mett for certain, and the O line was supposed to be good and deep this year and is not.<br /><br />But look at the underlying issues of this season: Defensive scheme, turnovers, penalties, kickoff and other special teams problems... how much of that has to do with this year's team being young? Those are coaching issues that Richt should be expected to address.<br /><br />Plus, the "being young" issue is all well and good in September and maybe October. But we're 11 games into the season and this young team is no better than it was in Week 1 or 2 in virtually every key area, save a marginally improved running game.<br /><br />Do I expect answers from Richt? No, not really.

I dont understand your line of thinking. I...David,<br /><br />I dont understand your line of thinking. It really doesnt matter what answer Coach Richt gives in a press conference. When you are 6-5, it is always going to be the wrong answer. <br />I think that this is just a young team taking its lumps. Next year, we will be good enough to go 10-2 again. We are set of rb (Ealey, King), WR (Green, King, Wooten, Durham), TE (Charles, White), Entire starting OL - Vance + Sturdivant + Strickland + current second string with one more year of experience), Great LB core (with or without Rennie), two shutdown corners (Smith, Boykin), good safeties (Banks, Rambo). Only holes are DT and QB. We should good enough in DT with Tyson, Jones and new recruirs and Murray/Mettenberger should be at least as good as Cox.<br />Go dawgs !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-48222630632527656072009-11-22T21:45:56.210-05:002009-11-22T21:45:56.210-05:00Im sorry but Richt is an idiot.
