I could pay a bunch of people to write daily or weekly articles about how the moon is made of jello, but that doesn't make it true. How dim-witted are you?

The Football team under Mark Richt is averaging 3 conference losses per year for the last four years. You are not in the hunt. The Football team was not ranked in the top twenty five of the AP poll. You are not in the hunt!<br />because our President fired our last coach when it was apparent that our program had plateaued, we had lost to all of our biggest rivals, and the AD could not guarantee that the overall and record against are rivals would improve the next year. <br />Richt is just 9-7 to our four biggest annual rivals (UT, UF, AU, Ga Tech) over the last four years. Our overall record the last four years is strong but we certainly have had a share of frustration too. <br />While I have been on record that I do not think that Richt is on the hot seat, I also believe that given Adams proclivities for meddling in athletics that it is not beyond him to step in to make a change if he thinks CMR has peaked and we struggle against our traditional rivals. I think we UGA fans would be deluded to think that Adams believes that he is that powerful. <br />The problem, as I have stated before (here and other places) is not that we UGA fans believe it. The problem is that coverage and commentary are rapidly moving beyond “is he or is he not” to he is on the hot seat. It's now a “fact” because so many people are writing about itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-65830669991149841812010-08-31T22:17:20.782-04:002010-08-31T22:17:20.782-04:00I like the UGA program the way it is.

That being said the practice is acceptable at more than a one or two schools. <br /><br />All you have to do is look at the rosters of the real powerhouse programs over a 4 year period and look at the size of their yearly recruiting classes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-42061611688447594042010-08-31T20:52:07.280-04:002010-08-31T20:52:07.280-04:00While it may be the way some schools do it, I don&...While it may be the way some schools do it, I don't think CMR will ever change unless he is forced to do so and I think that would be a mistake on the AD's part. All of this Mark Richt is on the "hot aeat" talk is predicated on being able to hire some one better and that is a long shot.UGA69Dawgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-22311145626187424702010-08-31T14:47:59.135-04:002010-08-31T14:47:59.135-04:00I see one possible change and I emphasize possible...I see one possible change and I emphasize possible. <br /><br />Many of the SEC schools (as well as other conferences) drop kids in their 2nd or 3rd year if they are not performing at the expected level. <br /><br />From what I can tell UGA doesn't practice the same. It seems that if you get a scholarship you are good to go unless you break the rules or flunk out. <br /><br />Perhaps some of you guys that are closer to the program can share your observations.JRLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435267493705547179noreply@blogger.com
