[QUOTE="EE95_curse EMAG!, post: 913593, member: 4295"] Not sure Richt was ever dinged on recruiting. They had top 5 classes almost every year. They were overloaded with talent and yes, had good OL/DL talent. Richt and his hires simply were bad at planning and playcalling/gameday. End of story. This does show that recruiting alone doesn't guarantee success. UGA perennially under-achieved and I remind my UGA fan friends/family. They allude to my jealousy of UGA football and I tell them, well, it's about time. Top 5 recruiting classes and every year, you lose (badly) the one game you were underdog and lose another game you were heavily favored...like annual clockwork. It only took you 40 years to get here. LOL. Kirby is their first real gameday coach in decades. So, again, recruiting is important, but the HC/OC/DC have to be competent in planning and gameday. They don't have to be superstars, but if they're bad with planning and playcalling, then all the 5-star recruits in the country would NOT get them a title. They just be a bunch of athletes running around confused with no cohesiveness, still able to make a big play every now and then, but unable to move the ball or stop the ball from being moved.
