Mark Richt fired by Georgia

[Marshal Dillon]

Richt to Maryland? I don't see it.

Since rumblings of discontent in Athens began earlier this season, there has been the mention of his connection to College Park -- Maryland associate athletic director and former Georgia AD Damon Evans.

Saban to USC. Stoops to Bama, right?

Here we go!

Mark Richt is gone and it may not be entirely his fault. Georgia’s veteran coach may have been at the wrong place, wrong time with Kirby Smart seemingly ready to make a move.

We’ve been over the angst at Georgia regarding Richt enough. Fifteen sometimes-glorious years came to an end Sunday after a nine-win season. Strange, yes. But considering the possible availability of Alabama’s defensive coordinator, it makes total sense.

According to reports, Smart has become the leading candidate at South Carolina. It may be as simple as that: Smart being available made Richt expendable.

Maybe Maryland, Miami, Virginia, et al?


 

Mark Richt remains interested in another coaching job and said Monday he will listen ''to anybody who has interest in me'' as he prepares for his final game as Georgia's coach.

Wow, with his class and teaching of being a good human being for society he will have his choice of jobs. CMR is an excellent coach. I would love to see him coach under CNS about 4 years. RTR!

I would love for them to miss out on Kirby and end up with about their 8th choice, then go on to have losing seasons every year until they fire the guy.  Then do that again 3 or 4 times.

That's been just about the outcome for every team that's fired a coach hoping to find a replacement that can compete with Saban.  The barn did have two miracle seasons, both of which included numerous last second/single score wins, but has been awful otherwise.

True, phil.
Very difficult to satisfy the fan base when you pay a coach $5M.  Everyone expects instant success.  It's unlikely that the new UGA coach will succeed.  Only a handful of the high-dollar coaches have survived in the SEC.

These are the SEC teams that seem to have upgraded with their latest head coaching change:

Miss State
Ole Miss
Kentucky
Florida
Auburn (Gus is better than CheeseNips)
South Carolina (Lou Holtz to Spurrier)
Tennessee
Alabama
Texas A&M (coaching change made entering SEC)

Neutral:
Arky - coaching change necessitated, don't know if better or worse
Mizzou (same coach forever)
LSU - coaching change necessitated, they did OK hiring Les
Georgia - TBD

Negative:
Vandy - coaching change necessitated, replacement has taken Vandy backwards

Saw two different articles addressing this today.  Everyone wants someone who can beat Saban.  The problem: Saban is a once in a generation coach.  Also, he's been at this for a long time now.  The best anyone in the SEC can do right now is hire a good coach and hope they catch Bama on an off day the way Ole Miss has two years in a row.

I don't think I would say that Vandy's new coach took them backwards even though, compared to James Franklin, he did.  More accurately though, he just restored them to what they've always been...
