Bobby Bowden, on when he knew the end was near for Mark Richt:
Although Bowden had heard Richt’s job was in jeopardy, he never really thought the school would fire a coach that finished the regular season 9-3, won 74 percent of his games (145-51) and made 15 consecutive bowl appearances.
“I thought it would be a replay of the LSU thing, as soon as the last game is over we’ll announce he’ll be back,” Bowden said, referring to the about-face LSU officials did with Les Miles. “Then I heard after the game with Georgia Tech the athletic director didn’t show up in the locker room. Most of my games after the game, the athletic director [would] come into the locker room to congratulate you or commiserate with you…”
Eh, by then, Greg McGarity was digging down deep and listening to his gut. Or something.
nor did McGarity show in the locker room after Auburn. but, yeah, the decision wasn’t made until after the Tech win…..

Right. The correct approach would have been full transparency at the PC, in which he said: “I decided after the disastrous UF game that it was time for a change. Mind you, I didn’t tell Mark that or anything, but he was a goner at that point in my mind, and I just wanted to hurry up with the rest of the season so we could get this transition going.”
Yea, that would have went over far, far better here and with the overall UGA fan base. Richt would have appreciated it as well and probably would have given him a nice bro hug right then and there.

As for the PC, I agree his best approach would have been exactly as you stated, but even then he’d still be vilified here today for being a coward, for ducking and hiding and not being a man…I can go on and on.

There is a difference between outright lying and giving non-answers. McGarity spent several weeks giving non-answers…but once he fired Richt and the backlash started, he decided specific answers were the way to go. The problem is…they were lies.
I’ve said all along that IF we were going to fire Richt, you better have a plan already in place and be 99% certain who the coach is. I have to tip my hat to ADGM for doing that. That’s absolutely the right move. I also can’t beef that he didn’t announce it after the Florida game or, frankly, that he didn’t tell CMR that it was coming. What gets me is two-fold…first, you get the feeling that he was looking for cover from one of the final 3 games. That doesn’t sit well with me. That’s really more of a theory though…heck, it might have hurt the bowl destination and $$$ so there is a real chance that it worked out EXACTLY like he wanted. Second, there isn’t any need to lie to save face with the fan base. Just own it or avoid the question. That’s what gets in my crawl…that if he’s lying in a public press conference that way, what’s going on behind the scenes when, for example, a coach asks for budget or an IPF or etc. etc.

Agree that he should have sidestepped the question (though, in doing so, he then would have looked like some phony politician with something nefarious to hide).

I do not disagree that The J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics was in a position where deflecting the truth may have been the thing to do, but giants of industry like yourself know that deflecting the truth is a type of communication skill, and he bungled doing that. It is another example of his lack of PR skills.
He should have opened the presser by introducing Richt, saying the nice things he said, then stood up and left the table, saying this was Richt’s stage and he should have it. If he wanted to remain in the room he could have stood in the gallery. By sitting at the table gave the message that he was there to answer questions, too, and the media took him up on that message. Had he stood in the gallery (or left altogether) he would have given the non-verbal message that he is not there to answer questions and he would have eliminated the need to deflect.

You don’t even really understand what it means to be thoughtful and considerate. Chili is going to channel everything through his myopic lens.

He’s not likely to achieve any understanding of the subtleties you are proposing anytime soon. This is a guy that watches Idiocracy and thinks that the future looks wonderful.
That being said, there are many reasons why the vast majority of us are “invested” in the success of Georgia football. I don’t think we should measure that investment by the size of our donations. In my book a good dawg fan wants us to win on Saturday. I also think a good dawg fan should think, except under the most extreme circumstances, that we WILL win on Saturday. In other words I have contempt for those cynics who just KNOW we’re going to lose every week and I have contempt for chili. Beyond those things, there’s no need to differentiate degrees of fandom. You’ll note by those very reasonable and objective measures that chili fails miserably. You don’t need to show us you monetary investment to win the fandom argument with chili. Hell if you pulled for us to beat auburn, in terms of fandom, you’re ahead of chili by a mile even if you’ve never given a dime.

Please don’t take my post as an attack. It was clear to me that you were just trying to reason with a dumb ass and that you weren’t bragging or “one-upping” anybody on your fandom.

It’s also true that sometimes, and I KNOW I’m as guilty as anyone, we get in fights with pigs and we unintentionally get a little muddy ourselves. In short, my point wasn’t to accuse anyone of being “tacky,” but rather trying to make clear that the vast majority of us here are dawg fans first and last, regardless of what the chili’s of the world want to say. To a guy that wants us to lose, what do we have to prove? Not a damn thing. He showed all of us who he is and what he’s about. So some people wish CMR well. So what? A CMR well-wisher equates to being something less than a dawg fan? BS. Pulling for our dawgs to lose out means you were never a dawg fan and never will be.
Moreover, anybody who wants CMR to fall on his face after 15 years of dedicated, loyal service when he could have taken his early successes here, doubled his money and said “bye” is an asshole. Anybody who says that we should be indifferent to him because he’s gone is an asshole. He certainly was never indifferent to us. Every dawg fan should appreciate CMR’s service and wish him well in anything he chooses to do (except beat us or take a recruit from us). This includes both those that wanted him fired and the ones that wanted him retained. I hope he does very well at Miami and that if we ever play them while he’s the coach there that we kick the shit out of the Canes.
If we’ve done the right thing here, it won’t matter what happens at Coral Gables. If CMR makes us look bad, well, we only have ourselves to blame.

There was that about the coaching vacancies at Maryland and Miami, but those were filled.
If McGarity had obtained the Coca-Cola bottle from Saban and turned it up to his ear, then I might feel more comfortable about the hire. After all Smart declined the B-M people before. No doubt he has talked to Sherrer and Pruitt about the people and culture in the B-M complex.
