re: Sounding like Richt struck out again

the "hot seat" has gotten ridiculous. this guy won 10 games a yr until 09. teams like BAMA will experience this too like USC is this year.

Nobody ever mentions that Saban has benefited from the 3 or 4 best teams that BAMA plays every year being down the past 2 years. Think about it, who challenges them every year? LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, maybe Arkansas? How good have these teams been the past 2 years?

BAMA will be 8-4 and Florida will be a Cotton Bowl team again soon. Be happy with what you have.

I agree that it is ridiculous that Richt is on the hot seat but the SEC has won about 6 titles in the last 15 years or so and he has not even been part of the conversation (which is something that Auburn can claim).

I agree that seasons are cyclical but somehow I don't see Florida having a big down cycle - It is as though something clicked for them with their AD/Coach / School direction in 1990 and since then they go down only for a year or two ( and their down years are down only in comparison to their good years).

It helps that they are in fertile grounds with more money (and the quality of academia doesn't hurt either )
