The only reason he gave her off was cause he didn't want her relaying any info to Mett about UGA's prep. I wonder if Richt cared so much last time they played that he gave her off the week prior to the sec championship game. smart move by him to get her out of there while they figure out how to attack Mett.

It's just a business move, neither classy nor non-classy.

Maybe, but it is personal too. He is her son first, "business" comes second. This is not a normal circumstance because of HOW he left the program. How he left the program is very important here. Richt did not HAVE to let her be off for the entire week. She would do her job just fine, if she were there. Distracted? Of course! I bet she had no intentions of taking off either. It's what is best for all parties, in every capacity.

She can actually enjoy a game week as a Mom, not an employee of the UGA football office. That's where the class comes in.

i think you are missing the true point of Richt's move. and 99% chance it ain't just for her benefit.

No, that part is very obvious and is more than likely 95% of the reason why.

I bet it's 50/50 for her benefit and the rest for prep purposes. Also, none of us know the exact details of her job. So everything is speculative. Give Richts reputation and track record he gets the benefit of the doubt that this is a class move.

:sigh:

this comment seems to indicate that you think it'd be a classless move by Richt to give her the week off to protect his team from any loose lips or accusations. Not necessarily so.

From the comments:

quote:

Coach R is very tight lipped about length of suspensions (eg. Marshall Morgan). There have been many other examples over the recent past; his reasoning consistently been that he didn't want our opponents to take advantage of this info, so he plays it close to the vest. He seems consistently concerned with giving out info that he sees as better kept to ourselves. In light of this peculiar reasoning, it doesn't surprise me that he gave Tammy M the week off. Like J. Edgar Hoover, it sounds to me that he is making sure during prep week for LSU that there are no spies among us! Seems to me that Tammy M. would be in a position to have certain bits of info cross her desk or float around the office that if known to LSU staff or QB coach, that could be harmful to UGA's game interests. Eliminate the problem, and look magnanimous by giving Tammy M the week off and tell to "enjoy". A slickster move by the Richster!

The responses to this post are unbelievably absurd. One would believe that this is an insane asylum, not a message board.

Oh my god she could possibly tell him the UGA game plan. Get pressure up the middle, knock him down, try to mask coverages, take away ODB, shut down the run, and create turnovers.

LOL at the amount of people in this thread who seem to think this. It is 100% a classy move and 0% based on him making sure Tammy doesn't leak any info to LSU.

I can't even believe I had to type out that sentence

LOL at people who think this *isn't* a major part of the reason. From Richt's own mouth:

“We all really like Zach and want the best for him but just don’t want him to win the game this weekend. That’s the only thing that’s different from normal, is we’re competing against him this week.”
