Is this it for Mark Richt?

if any Vandy fans actually believed this, they're worse than anybody on VN

 

I'm not sure keeping richt does much for Georgia. Any coach with a pulse there should be able to recruit well and go 9-3

 

Oh, so you, a smart person, believe that success can be defined as your performance relative to ability or expectations.

Look at that, you agree with me and not TennyD.

 

I thinks that goes well with this statement - “I believe it is reasonable to expect us to play for the SEC title three or four times every 10 years and win a couple. I think those are expectations that we can and should meet at the University of Tennessee given our history along with the resources and fan support,”

Richt has not met expectations despite having Greene, Shockly, Stafford, Murray and much talent around them.

 

I suspect he would expect a program like UGA to win a SECC in 10 years whereas you are happy with AP rankings.

 

You said he'd accomplished nothing. That's what you said. Quit dancing around it.

 

Yes. As Vols or. GA Bulldogs, titles are the standards. At Vandy, not so much.

VolDad is right about UGA underachieving badly with 4 great college QBs.

 

NFL caliber players all over the field and 15 years. 2 SEC and not much of a hope of winning another anytime soon. He's had a decent run, nothing more.

 

Neyland, Saban, Framk Thomas, Bryant, Fulmer, Spurrier, Meyer, Dooley, Vaught, Stallings, Miles, Richt.

Those are the winningest coaches all time in SEC play. You can dog Richt all day long for not winning a championship, but calling it a "decent run" is focking stupid. Tuberville had a decent run. Houston Nutt had a decent run.

 

1985 Vols won the SEC Championship that year.

 

Two sec titles in 15 years is a decent run.

 

I hope they let him hang around 10 more years; his win total would increase though I doubt his Championships would.

Who would you rather have coaching your team; Urban Meyer or Richt. By your standards, Richt since he has more SEC Wins.

 

Consistently winning 9 games over a 15 year stretch will get you on that list.

 

Nothing more

 

Shouldn't be noted that you are by yourself in this argument. Everyone else considers his tenure to that of an underachiever.

 

How does his tenure compare to the actual performance of Georgia's football program over time, rather than some perceived idea of what it should be? Georgia isn't that much different than Texas.

 

I'd say, compared to what pretty much everybody else has done there, it's hard to call him an underachiever. Jmo.

 

Richt has been pretty good at UGA, but he failed to take advantage of too many opportunities to win championships. Still, it didn't help that he's had to deal with one of the best college coaches of all time building a dynasty in the opposite division for the last however many years.

 

Winning % not wins.

 

That's winning %, I should have been more clear.
