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 )

Oh really? What about in 07 when we had the exact same overall and conference record as LSU? I think that kinda put us in the "conversation"...it was just a tough break that we lost the tie-breaker to Tennessee because we wet the bed in Knoxville and they pulled the game against Kentucky the week before the SECCG out of their arse

and the '02 team lost a 7 point game to Florida for their only loss only to have Miami/tOSU both go undefeated. One loss usually gets you in the MNC (since we all know that LSU didnt have an undefeated season in either of their championship years)

and, fwiw, Richt has the 4th highest winning percentage in the country only behind Meyer, Carrol, and Stoops...he's a model of consistency(with the obvious exception to this year) and the administration at Georgia would be fools to think that firing Richt would spring the program to the top....Richt will get us there
