I know I'm not privvy to alot of behind the scenes stuff, but my take is this--Richt doesn't have his man, has been trying to get him, and appears more desparate as he goes. I'm basing that on the amounts of $$ that have been offered. It keeps going up with each new candidate. I think Foster, Chavis, or Smart would all be good hires, but I didn't think any of them would leave their respective programs. I know money talks, but all of their schools have the same resources we do, and could match or exceed our offers.
The other reason I haven't posted alot, is I've been waiting to hear a confirmation. It's hard to discuss and/or argue over speculative names being mentioned.
I agree with you that Richt let the program decline too long, and I think that is making the search more difficult. Other team's boards view UGA as a sinking ship and it would be nonsensical for highly touted DC's to leave their programs for UGA. I don't agree that's the case, but that's the public perception, and it's hurting us.
I personally believe Richt can get us going in the right direction, but it's going to take 100% effort on his part, no distractions. If other parts of his personal life creep into the picture, it will be a long year next year and I think Richt won't be long with the program.
sadlerdawg, you are back! You have always told the truth! Some might not know it . . . never backed away from a fight . . . . a voice of reason, and that is absolutely the truth!
Go Dawgs!!
