re: I guess Richt is off the hot seat?

Holy frick you want to talk about underachieving? Kiffin lost 5 games with USC this year. PRESEASON #1 and lost 5 fricking games. Nothing you say from here on out will be taken seriously.

Georgia went 10-3 in 2008. They were preseason #2.

Average ranking per year given the above numbers:
Georgia 7.81
Bama 8 (I excluded 2002 and 2003 from the calculation)
UF 8.27
LSU 8.54

which proves my point. UGA hasn't had more talent than everyone in the SEC. There have been several teams that have had as much if not more talent. That doesn't even consider the years that teams like Tenn, Auburn, USCe, had top 10 classes. Some times, one class puts your team way ahead of the pack. Much like LSU's 2001 recruiting class that stacked the team and made up for 2002's disappointing recruiting year. 2003 and 2004 did the same thing, made up for LSU's 2005 class.

a ton of SEC have had top 25 classes for the entire time that Richt has been at UGA. in fact, there has never been a year since Richt has been at UGA that at least 6 SEC teams were ranked in the top 25.

...and with all those great recruiting classes, Richt has produced wins. 117 in 12 seasons and winning the East 5 out of 12 times isn't really underachieving.

Kiffin has recruited better at both UT and USC and his records are 7-6, 8-5, 10-2, and 7-5. You are a fool if you would take him over Richt as a HC.

Let me get this straight. UGA has better recruiting numbers over the course of Richt's tenure than every other team in the SEC. And UGA has put more players in the NFL than any other team in the SEC. And this proves your point?

How about this. What if I simply say that UGA has had talent on par with the best teams in the SEC throught his tenure as HC of UGA. Can you go along with this statement?

Kiffin's recruiting at UT is quite irrelevantn as he never actually coached his own recruits.

Rather, he coached an extremely thin team with way way way less talent than UGA and a QB named JONATHAN CROMPTON...and with this rag-tag crew of players, he beat the red-clad team coached by the man with the sweet sweet Butt Cut by the score of 45-19.

I would definitely take Lane Kiffin over Mark Richt. Call me what you will.

i'm gonna need a link for that. Because, I have a link showing that LSU had 52 guys in the league in 2011 while UGA had 45. LSU had 5 guys drafted (57), UGA had 7 drafted (52). Still looks like UGA hasn't put more guys in the NFL than LSU. Care to share a link?

I wouldn't expect you to understand how many season ending injuries we had that year so I'll just keep it simple.

Kiffin took preseason #1 in the Pac 12 to 5 losses. He essentially had a 2 games season (Stanford/Oregon)

Mark Richt took Preseason #2 (or 1 depending on the publication) and lost 3 games.

Please go on.

Are you actually attempting to draw a significant distinction here? Do both not qualify as underachieving?

Do I have to mention the part about UGA beating atrocious atrocious UK and Auburn teams by 4 and 3, respectively? Shall we add an additional loss to UGA's schedule for the year on the basis of the general putridity demonstrated therein?

Jesus tittyfricking Christ, dude. Your guy had a preseason ranking of #2 and the team reaked worse than my nuts do. That's underachieving.

Why are y'all going on about this? Richt is playing for the title Saturday and will be at UGA for some time to come.

Yeah, see my last post.

Congrats on him beating arguably our worst team under Richt. We were the definition of awful - Joe Cox as the starting QB, Willie Martinez coordinating the worst statistical defense in school history and #118 in turnover margin. Up until the season finale, it was the closest thing we had to a Ray Goff team.

But by all means, continue to believe the current laughing stock of college football coaches who thoroughly embarrassed himself this past weekend is a better head coach than Richt.

I'm glad that people like you think so highly of Richt. I hope he is the UGA coach for the foreseeable future.
