OSD, had not crossed my mind about Kevin. You are spot on. Apparently Richt had a problem with another UGA successful kicker that wanted to help Blair out when on campus. From what I have been told Richt would not listen to the outside.
OSD . . . . Mark Richt seems to have a problem with folks that played football at Georgia. Names that have been on his staff, or close to his staff. Kirby Smart, Will Muschamp, ex-coach BVG.
Take a look at who he has hired on his staff. Coaches that he could make sure would go along with his program. Those that came later, because of Richt's supposed stubborness could not live with his lack of knowledge. I don't call it being stubborn, I call it lack of knowledge.
We can discuss some that were here and those that were hired on and look at where they are now.
Will take one of Richt's more famous hires. Willie Martinez. Now somebody please tell me why WM became the defensive coordinator at Georgia. Why did it take WM almost taking Mark Richt down before Mark Richt turned the page. I can answer that . . . . 3 or so million dollars a year. Good man. The "Party Line" is that we should remember that Mark Richt is a "good man". McGarity, your time is coming, especially if you are living the "Party Line". Remember what you saw in Gainesville. Think this is going away, will not happen Greg McGarity. You have a "good man" not a college head football coach.
Greg McGarity will give you one thought. Is there anyone in the college coaching ranks that could take the same talent that arrives in Athens, year after year and not win 9 or 10 games a year? If you want to stay silent, we will be looking for your replacement soon enough. If you think that losing Mark Richt will hurt your program recruiting wise, you really do need to find another type of employment. Excuses.
Now we have Will Muschamp and Kirby Smart on a higher step than Mark Richt is located. Was that bad judgment or looking out for your college teammate (WM). Was that bad judgment on Kirby Smart and Will Muschamp, UGA football players, did they not fit your style of play.
Never should we forget that Nick Saban gave Kirby Smart a quick lesson in self preservation. When Kirby Smart departs Tuscaloosa, KS will make more than the FSU grad. Kirby Smart is a Good Man also. Kirby Smart will not return home because of one thing . . . . his school sided with FSU.
Think it was wlayton that said earlier, something to the effect that the walls are crumbling down. Maybe I dreamed that, but the walls are not stable, much like our Head Coach, that goes by the name of Mark Richt . . . . good man.
