[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 196048, member: 1036"] Even though Coach Richt is an alum, I don't know if Miami is the place for him in this day and age. They were all glitz back in the day with Coach Jimmy Johnson, but in the intervening years a thuggish culture has developed around the program, as evidenced by the recent problems Al Golden was hired to clean up. They don't have a real home field anymore since they left the Orange Bowl, and home fan attendance is way down (though Miami has a very strong regional brand and out-of-town presence at away games). Coach Richt could maintain the off-field stability that Al Golden brought down there, but don't know if his temperament is the right fit for Miami now. The pressure to win there is even greater than at UGA, and if he doesn't start winning immediately, the grumblings would soon start. Coach Richt truly loved UGA, loved coaching there, and it showed. He was the face of the institution, and one of the most respected people in the state of Georgia. I was thinking about him yesterday evening, what it must be like for him looking at all the UGA paraphernalia in his home. It's got to be hard on him right now. If the Lord sees fit to keep him in coaching, I hope that maybe he'd consider the Gamecocks. Their fan base has been appreciative of their team though all the lean years of 2 & 3-win seasons while still packing the stadium. During the 40-odd years I've observed the UGA program, there have been numerous times the fans left the stadium early when the Dogs were losing, sometimes as early as the third quarter. You don't see that as much at Williams Brice. [/QUOTE]
