[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 196094, member: 265"] I forgot to add this to the post above. I've been hearing a lot of stuff on the radio today about what a great job the one at Ugag is and how they could get all but a few coaches in the country to leave their positions for a chance to coach over there. Horse manure. They haven't won an MNC since 1980. They have had some good years since under Richt, but, if the place was as "legendary" as they think, they'd have done better. It's a good job, but, if I was at a top 20 program and wasn't feeling my seat heat up, there's no way I'd move on to a program that just fired a coach after a 9 - 3 season. I'd presume that it was a rat's nest and look slowly away. One other thing about that. I've been thinking today about the long stretch Ugag has had without the MNC. I think it boils down to Richt and co. not being willing to go all Nick Saban/Les Miles on his players. The folks over in Athens are simply not ruthless enough to win big in the SEC today. You have to be willing to chase players off, abandon them when they are hurt, and, above all else, deprive them of anything resembling an actual academic experience that'll give them something to work with in their futures. It's all about "progress" and "putting the best team on the field" at Bammer and LSZoo. True, the folks at Ugag are pretty despicable, but they aren't [I]that[/I] bad. And they've paid for it. And that'll limit their coaching choices. [/QUOTE]
