Mark Richt at the press conference

kentdaddy....man, where have you been. I told my wife the other night that I posted a message wondering where you have been. Hope everything has been ok with you and your family. Glad to see you back. I smile MUCH more when you are posting!

\"Willie and I go way back and believe you me, there's not another defensive coordinator under the sun I'd rather have than Willie Martinez. I'm gonna give him a contract extension.\"

Well, after the Goff and Donnan years, the bar was pretty low for CMR. Now we're reaching the point where he's getting judged against his own production, and at some point the powers that be will be asking for that NC trophy. I mean, it's not like he hasn't had the talent.

\"We just couldn't get the job done and I take full responsibility. I just want to say how proud I am of these guys for playing their hearts out. Especially our defense. Things were a little rough this season, but I have faith in Coach Martinez and his ability to get these boys motivated and turn things around. Willie and I go way back and believe you me, there's not another defensive coordinator under the sun I'd rather have than Willie Martinez. I'm gonna give him a contract extension.\"
