Mark Richt

[Derek]

Sorry, I've been so absent. I had to take a break. I blame Richt.

What a season this has been. I've not watched the last 4 games, even though 3 of them were wins.

I love the man, and will literally shed a tear when he leaves, but it's time for him to go.

I've had enough of the disappointing seasons that come down to execution, and occasional injury.

The Hokies might take him. Just sayin'.

[Spence]

I like Richt, but I am with Derek - Georgia has to move on.

[collegefbfan-8898]

Not trying to step on any toes, and you guys have been watching the sport way longer than me. I remember a few years back that Nebraska thought that Solich needed to go too. We saw how that turned out. I am not saying that Richt is the greatest coach ever or the worst coach ever. I would just hate for the Bulldogs to travel down that same path the Huskers did.

Your point is valid, but this is the age of instant gratification not being instant enough. It has corrupted our society in every societal way possible. Football get no exemption.

I am right there with you on that, but put a coach in at Athens, GA that goes a few seasons with 6-6, 7-5, 8-4, and 5-7 records, and a another new coaching change won't be instant enough.

When you are 5-11 against your primary rival (Georgia against Florida since 2000)...eventually the hard core fans will want a change.

The legendary Bowden made the mistake of losing six in a row to the Gators....Muschamp made the mistake of going 1-4 against the Noles.

Even Harbaugh won't be safe if Michigan loses to Ohio State five times in a row,

Sorry, no Richt in Blacksburg either pls.

Don't worry, I don't think he's going anywhere.

Well....An overtime win against a team like Georgia Southern might prove me wrong.

I had a feeling that was going to be a competitive game. I don't want to cheer against the SEC necessarily, but the media fawning over the last decade has made me do it every time. "Cupcake Saturday" as its referred to always gives us some late-season upset possibilities. I was going hard for Florida Atlantic and Georgia Southern, but I think they choked. Hated the call for GSU on 4th and 1. Why empty the backfield and do a direct snap to the RB? Everyone knows where the ball is going and where he's going to run with it. I know you only needed a yard, but at least with the option if the primary ball carrier gets blown up you have a chance to get rid of it. GSU should have stuck with what they were good at. FAU just flat-out choked. Two guys missed a tackle in open space and then they couldn't get their hands wrapped around the football four times on first and goal from the 10.

At least The Citadel got it done . I don't care how efficiently The Citadel runs the option or how reeling you are from the resigning of your coach, if you were recruited to play in the SEC, you cannot lose to an FCS military academy. Which leads me to my next point, why is a team like Eastern Michigan not running the triple option? If all you need are FCS military academy quality athletes to beat an SEC team, what are you doing? Eastern Michigan is much more athletic than The Citadel, yet they try to run a conventional spread offense and they can't even beat Miami of Ohio. Like come on, what are you waiting for. I mean this is literally inexcusable. The Citadel even put up a fight against Florida State a couple of years ago. Even though it wasn't totally close, those two teams don't belong on the same field when it comes to athleticism and size, yet the option game can neutralize that to a great degree (although cut blocking is a safety issue that these teams have to be careful with).
