Seriously, Richt???

Richt coaches fans on crowd noise

Georgia coach Mark Richt is counting on the Bulldogs’ fans to be a 12th man against Mississippi State on Saturday. He’s so adamant that they produce crowd noise that he stood up during his opening remarks at his weekly press conference on Tuesday and demonstrated exactly when and how he wanted them to be noisy.

“I want to talk to our fans and educate them a little bit,” Richt said. “We need a lot of crowd noise and I know fans know that. But when teams no huddle [like Mississippi State] and you’re cheering, you might not be cheering at the right time. So I want to try to tell you what we hope happens in the game.”

Standing up, Richt demonstrated how State’s quarterback Chris Relf looks to the sideline for a play call after lining up in the shotgun and starting the cadence.

“When he looks to the sideline,” Richt said, turning to face the side of the room, “that’s the time when we need the fans to go berserk. That’s when they’re going to try to communicate to their line what they’re going to do. We don’t want them to communicate well. We want them to have trouble hearing each other and we want offensive linemen to jump offsides. So, UGA fan base, that’s the time when we want you to go crazy, when he looks to the sideline after he starts his cadence.”

If I was there, I think I might have jumped and said, "we know what the hell we're doing, OK? And why do we need tips from someone who's never cheered in the arena?"

No freakin' kidding SD. I was thinking the exact same thing when I read that.
We Fans show emotion in the stands, in conversations with other fans, on this site, and etc. We raise hell in the stadium. It just shows he's not listening.

Richt, how about raising some hell yourself. I'm done with him...

I know I raise hell at my tv ever Saturday, and lately every Sunday lol.

"Cool Hand Mark" is showing a little desperation.

It goes from "I know what the hell I'm doing, ok?" to "Now I need your help"......wow. We cant save ya Mark. It's on no one elses shoulders but yours to keep your complacent ass on the sidelines.

I want to talk to our coaches and educate them a little
bit. When you guys have run a series of plays in the
1st half that have been consistently successful..you do
not shelve them for the rest of the game in exchange
for different plays that have been less successful.

A little help in this area would be greatly appreciated.
