wlayton, I have thought a couple of times about saying what you just said in this thread. Remember that CMR was under the close watch of BB for many years. Coach Bowden knows that the end is near and you can bet he would love to have Coach Richt.
No doubt in my mind that we are witnessing some of the same characteristics in Coach Richt that have been abundantly clear with Coach Bowden over the years. I appreciate the special way that BB treated CMR and brought him along as a leader of men. At some point, all coaches have to develop their own \"system\" and pull away from old habits that don't seem to show promise in the game of football today. Same goes for any business person or leader in today's world. Change can and is usually for a specific purpose, that being to improve a groups status.
While I read in many threads that we are showing improvement, it is usually based on a particular set of plays or a quarter of so of football. I hate it. IN MY OPINION, UGA is slipping, and I want it to stop. Either quit talking about the super athletes we get each year to attend the University, or coach them up to their potential. If I never see another swing pass in the flats, that would be too soon.
