I was watching Good Day Atlanta on Fox 5 this morning and they did a brief story about CMR being selected to the HOF but made zero mention of CPJ. This is the BS we have to deal with in this state.
Many things have to change before that happens. A lot of it is in motion right now, just needs successful implementation. Hell, we're only a day removed from them telling us we can't have our coach yet.
Many years ago, there was a function for press and the state's college football coaches. I happened to be standing next to PJ for a few minutes. We look over at the horde descending on Richt.
We haven't gotten fair coverage in our "hometown" since 1980. Its never going to change so Id quit worrying about it. Just don't read the AJC. Its not like they put their ace on our beat anyway.
I think we all believe for the most part. Who doesn't want that? But I think what most of us really want is a Bobby Ross type - those that believe not only in offense but in defense and ST's as well. The hard part is knowing who is the real deal (they all come highly recommended remember) and/or affording the truly elite talent. Like any profession, these guys at the the top of the food chain know what they are worth.
There are about five coaches in my history with football that give really good interviews. Paul Johnson may be among the most generous, open, and down to earth. Always feel like I get to know the man at the same time I’m learning something about football.
Pretty sure he got at least 1 Fulmer cup too. Those are bigHe won 2 national championships almost every year at UGA.
(The national championship in recruiting and the preseason national championship.)
I hate UGA as much as anyone, but it's wrong to make it seem as if Richt getting in is an insult.
Richt got in not for this time as head coach of uga. That just made him eligible
Richt has a better resume at UGA than Terry Donahue from UCLA, Mike Bellotti from Oregon, and many other head coaches in the hall. Again, hate the school he won most of his games, but his time at UGA is what got him into the HOF.
oh, I agree. The fact that Phil Rizzuto is in BB HoF does not make Chipper's election an insult... as you wrote, CFB HoF includes Terry Donahue from UCLA, Mike Bellotti from Oregon????...... Richt in HoF, too? GTFOH.....LOL...
For a journalist that asks good, well-grounded questions, CPJ is probably a terrific interview. For someone looking for sound bites, he might also be a good interview.
Dude… if you think Mark Richt doesn’t deserve to be in the CFB HoF, who tf does? A .727 W%, never missed a bowl game went to 18 straight, COY in 2 different P5 conferences, national COY, 6 division titles, 2 conference titles, 5 NY6 bowl appearances, 7 teams ranked in the top 10.
