ogredawg, amazes me that Mark Richt can make those statements and not take a serious look at the consequences.
Some will say he is just being honest. OK, I can accept honesty above all else.
What his comments say to me is that he is not a college football coach on the level of Nick Saban and others. Guess that is why he makes a paltry 3 million as compared to Saban's income.
Is it any wonder that top flight offensive linemen make their way to Tuscaloosa? Saban welcomes offensive linemen, one of his first priorities. Check the latest NFL draft. Where did Alabama's top players get chosen and what position did they play? "Skill" players (running back) as some like to tag them did not go in the first round, same cannot be said for the lack of a better term . . . . "unskilled" players from the offensive line.
Continue this practice in Athens and this attitude, as 36869 has often said ogredawg, we will be the bridesmaid at best. All we have to do is check players on campus and it becomes increasingly evident that there are still missing links that prohibit us from hoisting the Crystal.
This post is not meant to be ugly, it is meant as the truth, the way I see it. Just my opinion.
Edit: The link below proved to be very interesting to me, like most of Bernie's work. What stands out to me? Where were the offensive linemen that went other places in all of the years mentioned in the thread. Not like we have had the fronts that Saban and others have had.
