Grantham Coaching Experience

You got that right, Buc. Make the job easy on the next guy, and CTG is doing just that.

BTW, I have a new found admiration for Richt. Those secondary violations of giving his staff money out of his own pocket when the administration refused - even gets ME motivated to try harder. I wonder if perhaps that has helped turn a few things around in addition to the coaching changes. I really admire a man who says, "My staff worked hard enough to warrant the pay, and if the big wigs won't do it, I will." Okay, so he's a multi-millionaire and can afford it - bottom line is, he did it. Good for him. Secondary violations or not.

Imo, this shouldn't be a violation, The Annual Gift Tax Exclusion is $13,000 per year. He (or you and I) can give anybody $13,000 per year. CMR can legally gift $13,000 to Bobo, his wife and 5 children etc.......I know, that doesn't matter to the NCAA but if it's legal with the IRS.......just sayin.

thriller, well put. Never has there been a misunderstanding about Richt and his feelings toward his fellow men. Good man to the bone. That is going far enough with that. He is all that.

Richt now has the opportunity, especially with the coaching staff that he has around him to be the leader of a team that many don't want to play. I look back over his years at UGA and don't see a group of coaches ever in the 11 years that shoulder up with this group.

Mention is sometimes made when defending Richt, look at his record. I have and do. My point is this . . . if his record was that good with the coaches prior to the coaches now, and his record was that good, tells me that he had some incredible athletes on the turf in Sanford Stadium. Would you not agree?

Time now for Richt to open this game plan up, use the tremendous talent he has and let the Dawgs be all they can be. Put those points on the board, thereby allowing Grantham to go crazy on the defensive side, use many players, groom them for the next season. Keep the ball rolling Ltjg. Sound like a page from Saban's book . . . . Coaching wise, we are closer to a MNC than ever before under Richt.

Good call, wart. I think Mick is too smart to get caught with his pants down on this one...let's hope so!

Yeah.. I hope so. We all want to keep CTG, but we have to be realistic.

Couldn't agree with you more, Buc, but as long as ESPN controls the politics of the BCS, the only way UGA gets into the BCS Championship game is if they go undefeated and win every game by a large margin. Herbstreet hates Georgia because the Dawgs beat his team (when Bobo was the QB), and kept them from being voted MNCs that year. Not sure why Mark May dislikes us so much.(And I haven't even mentioned the amount of sheer luck a team has to have to go undefeated in a 13 game schedule, or the fact that the preseason ranking has to be in the top 6 or 7 to have a chance even then.)

Mark May hates UGA because he played for Pitt in '80 and somehow thinks they got hosed out of the NC even though we were undefeated and Pitt got bombed by FSU (I think it was FSU, I know they lost once.)
