SC isn't getting their #1 choice if UGA, for example, also wants that guy.

I don't know about that, there are several variables here that I don't think you're considering. Why did Richt leave, was he fired? If Richt is fired this year, he's still owed $16M on his contract. Plus UGA signed several Asst Coaches this year to multi year deals. Pruitt has a $1.3M contract for another 3 years.

If UGA cleans house, they aren't going to have the $ to compete with us. We had more than $2M more in profit than them last year in our Ath Dept. We won't have to pay Spurrier or the majority of the coaches anything, as their contracts expire in January (except Whammy $750K.)

Our new facilities are already in place (except for the new Coaching Suites/Offices, but those are approved and funded, so they'll be done next year.)
UGA still practices on a 20 yard field when they want to practice indoors. We have new player dorms/suites, and I'm pretty sure our weight room was never untainted by having Colt Ford and a pimply face high school kid shoot a music video there.

Finally, I'll put Ray Tanner up against whoever their AD is any day of the week. HC's love to work for AD's who were former championship level HC's. They know what it takes to get there and about the struggle.

With all that said, Uga isn't getting rid of Richt this season, their AD doesn't have the stones or it would've happened already. They don't want to mess with their recruiting class. They are too financially committed right now to the current staff.
