I am so tired of hearing people talk about how University of Georgia head football coach Mark Richt should be fired.

Here are some facts for all these Georgia fans complaining about our Coach.

Let’s look at the state of our program prior to Richt and compare it to right now.
Florida owned Georgia, the record was 10-1 the 11 years period prior to Richt. Tennessee owned Georgia, going  9-1 before Richt. Even Tech had a 3 game winning streak prior to Richt.

Everyone wants to talk ‘National Championships’. Well, prior to Richt the last SEC Championship was almost two decades prior, same as even being in the HUNT for a National Championships.

Georgia wasn’t even mentioned as an SEC East contender since the conception of the game prior to Richt.

Sure, the Dawgs  still don’t have that National, but we’ve been in hunt 3 times (02,07,12), we’ve won the SEC twice (02, 05), and won the east (02,03,05,11,12) and tied for the east (04,07). We are 3-1 against Florida in the last 4 years, 5-1 against Tennessee in the last 6 years, and 12-2 against tech in the last 14 years.

Forgive me for a minute if I think that the people who wants Richt gone fall into at least 1 of 3, if not numerous categories: did not attend school there, has never donated (or even know what the Hartman Fund is), or for that matter  they do not ever even attend a game.

These folks merely sit on their couches and watch Georgia, sometimes, on Saturdays. These folks are the same ones who complained about Mike Bobo when the Dawgs were scoring  40 plus points a game.

Of course, these are the same folks, in my opinion, that sit and talk about how religious they are yet never attend church and spend their Saturday nights at the bar.

Thanks Coach Mark Richt, keep up the good work.
