Greg McGarity has sent an email to donors disclosing that the school is negotiating a contract extension with Mark Richt.
“I look forward to working alongside Mark in the future and in helping him move our program forward in all areas. We will be working on a contract extension with Mark over the coming days. I know Mark is focused on completing his coaching staff and recruiting,” McGarity said in the email. “Our support staff is also focused on a number of construction projects, including the indoor practice facility and future enhancements to football areas in Sanford Stadium. We will keep you updated on progress in these areas as they develop.”
Did McGarity blink in the face of steady criticism of his management, or was the Belk Bowl the tipping point for Richt’s future at Georgia? Beats me (although McGarity’s message praises the effort and preparation for the bowl game). In any event, the die is cast and it’s time to get the rest of the players on the same page. That starts with making sure the assistants who are underpaid by market standards get an adjustment.
In any event, those of you who want Mark Richt gone are going to have to wait a while.

I think we finished about where we should have. In other words, we were not top five at any time IMHO.
Don’t get me wrong, I totally get the frustration re: FL, SC, and Tech. I was sick and bummed out for a couple of weeks about the Tech game, but bad things happen when you have glaring personnel deficiencies. All indicators point to a bunch of players (that can help immediately) coming on board in February.

Richt keeps us at the front of the battle every year. Year in and year out. Throughout our program, we’ve averaged 2 SEC titles every 12 years or so. Throughout program history. Richt has met that standard. I’m not being his apologist. I wouldn’t care who the coach was if he had the record Richt had, I’d want to keep him. Myopic Bama wannabes are going to sink our program.

Luck was not involved at all in Auburn’s victory over us or bama in 2012. We lost thanks to the single worst play in the history of college football by 2 of our defensive backs. Bama lost because Malzahn made a great coaching move in putting a return man in the end zone.
LikeLike
Uh, did you see the end of 1st half of the Orange Bowl, when Tech “batted it down” and into to the hands of a defender. Did you see the end of the Sugar Bowl, when OSU caught the Hail Mary to secure it? It was luck and bad luck. It’s football. It happens.
The crazy thing about Auburn is that they have lost 5 or more games in 5 of the last 7 seasons, including two non-bowl losing seasons (one of them a 3-9 stinker). They actually had a season they went 0-8 in the conference, which is almost unimaginable. We have also beaten them 7 of the last 9 seasons. The two we didn’t beat them, they won the SEC and played for the national title both years. They represent everything that frustrates a UGA fan. They are a roller-coaster and we’re steady Eddie, and they’ve played for 2 titles, winning one.
Comparisons to Bama are simply unfair. We DO NOT (and probably WiLL NOT) have the kind of statewide and institutional support they have. We do not give Richt all that Saban gets in financial support throughout the program. But, Auburn and LSU just tick us off and make you wonder if Mark just has bad luck. LSU wins one with 2 losses. Auburn wins 1 and plays for another and we’ve beaten them 78% of the time in that stretch. Heck, Tech has beaten us as many times as Auburn has in the last 9 years. Tennessee has beaten us more times in the last 9 years than Auburn!!!!! Tennessee!!!!! Richt is 3-2 vs. Miles, and Miles has played for two and won 1.
When you think about those crazy numbers, you just realize how blessed we are to have Richt, what terrible luck we’ve had, how close we’ve been, how frustrating a few key moments have been, and how insane we would be to get rid of him. We had the #7 or #8 ranked recruiting class in 2014, That class helped power us through the season. If you don’t think recruiting matters, you don’t really get football. We’d have been a mess without McKenzie, Michel, Blazevich, Sanders, Carter, Parrish, and the Bell Cow, Chubb. This class is ranked #1 and at least #2 or #3 by all of them. More immediate help is on the way…better help than we’ve gotten in recent years. In 2013, we were ranked about #12. Ohio St. and Bama were both in the top 3 in 2013 and 2014. FSU was top 4 in 2014 and 10 in 2013. We have maybe the best OL recruit and QB recruit committed and actively recruiting for us in the 2016 class. Things are changing in Athens. We need to get on the train and back this program like never before. I’ve always said that Richt was Tom Osborne. Very similar personalities and stories. It took Osborne a while, but when he finally got it, he won 3 of 4 and darn near won 4 straight. I think when Richt gets it all together, we’re going to go on a run. If not for Todd Gurley’s high ankle and signature, we might be on it right now. That’s how thin the line is.

As for the Iron Bowl, it’s much more likely that kick is a dud and knuckeballs out the back of the endzone, or that it’s blocked because of a low trajectory. Had to be the perfect kick and had to have the perfect return. A million other things could have happened there (though they still could’ve won in OT.) But, the bottom line is that they STILL had to have OSU lose to MSU later that Championship weekend night. We had no such luck in 2002. Two teams were undefeated. In 2013, 1 team was undefeated.

We drew an opponent where Evil Richt was welcome and we took the ‘Ville behind the wood shed. It’s going to be interesting to see if Florida is going to be interested because ECU can beat them if the Gators don’t show up.

If one looks at open records from Sept you would see that the Sanford locker room improvements were on the “radar”.
