growl, that is exactly what Richt did. Replaced himself with Mike Bobo, that was after BVG left, then Richt in all of his wisdom promoted Willie Martinez to the vacated defensive coordinator position.
That left Richt to do what, recruit? Green bean circuit. Along comes McGarity and says to Richt that he is to concentrate on football. Want help ask for it.
Really don't see where Richt was ready for a head coaching job. Many in the media and now the SEC Network like to point to his number of victories over the past 15 years. To that I say, there are many that could have won that many games and more with the talent base that UGA can surround itself with.
Silly thing I am about to say but . . . . Wonder how many victories Nick Saban would have produced in Athens? I know . . . .
wlayton you said the same about grantham when there was talk on this board about him being the head coach, think I probably said it first. You were right, I was wrong.
I would definitely take my chances with Pruitt, we did with Richt and I don't believe there is any coaching comparison there. Some might think Pruitt is a tad rough around the edges, sometimes that is exactly what it takes.
averagedawg, know that you are connected. What you said above about Pruitt to Alabama, would not surprise me. Saban has had nothing but high praise for Pruitt. Saban is a major reason that Pruitt became the defensive coordinator at FSU. Jimbo Fisher wanted Pruitt, Fisher knew that Pruitt was high strung. Guess that worked out for the Seminoles.
