[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 183004, member: 1640"] One interesting side note to the uga comments on their site. A portion of the fans feel like Mark Richt uses his faith to insulate himself from criticism. They resent that the moment you start to criticize him people respond by saying he is a good Christian man and they like how he is turning the lives around of so many young men who might otherwise have been thugs. The other portion of the fan base, slightly larger, resent that people bring his faith up and feel that this is both an inappropriate and inaccurate description of Mark Richt and his faith. They reaffirm that he is a fine man. The first group says there are no other coaches in the country at big time programs who use their faith to keep people from making criticisms of their coaching. The second group names about 3 or 4 that do speak about their faith in a prominent way. And it goes from there. Interesting to me because this guy in the video mentions it and it really is a thing at Georgia about which side you come down on. I don't believe that has ever been a source of division at Tech, even when Bill Curry was the coach and faith talking was a big part of the program. For some reason some people think Richt is a little bit slick about it, a little bit snake oil salesperson about it. I don't care. I just enjoy it when bulldog nation has major angst. [/QUOTE]
