Re: UGA - Richt Article. Blasted

While I agree it is pretty frustrating to watch Richt coach over the years, too many stinkers against inferior competition but I just don't see the talent there to really win a national title. Besides Floyd on defense is anyone else a star? Besides Gurley and maybe Chubb is anyone else a star on offense? You need more than that to win a title in almost any conference in the country, much less the (snicker) SEC East.
I think he does everything with class, something a lot of coaches could learn from, FSU and USuCk especially. The whole article in general is pretty silly, I mean does anyone think Richt was trying to lose to that crap team in Columbia or Florida? They are inconsistent but on their best day can play against anyone in the country but they will have a hard time winning a title until they recruit the whole team and not just running back.
Serious question for any recruiting guru's out there. How many top 5 recruiting classes have Georgia had in the last 10 or 15 years? While stars don't always mean titles they usually can lead to a decent guide to see how good a team is overall. My guess would be that UGA ends up in the 10 to 15 range a lot and that is kind of where they end up at overall. I would also say that sometimes they remind of what Tommy Bowden did when he was recruiting for Clemson, he would have a high recruiting class but it would be only WR's in that class and would leave gaping holes in the defense or offensive line, this is what I think happens at UGA, they had a huge class with Gurley and Marshall in the same class but they didn't address the whole team's needs and thus they end up with wildly inconsistent seasons with huge highs and huge lows.

Our Tigers have routinely gone in their back yard

and brought in many of the top level prospects from the peach state. Georgia is talent rich, and all the SEC teams along with Clemson and Lamecocks take lots of high end talent!!
Georgia has underachieved without question, but its not as easy to coach as we all think.
Go Tigers!!

Without going back to research the recruiting classes, I'd bet that most of his classes have been in the top ten. Unfortunately for him, a lot of that talent ends up being kicked out of school, like Crowell and many others.

Wow, reading that article is like reading some posts here on T-net. In this guys opinion being a good man counts for little. I bet he probably respects Jimbo Fisher and no one can ever include his name and "good man" in the same sentence. Good men hardly stand a chance in this win at all cost world of College Football where liars, thieves, probable rapist, domestic abuser and those that proudly enable and defend them held up as examples of greatness! My God what a screwed up world!

Meh. Maybe.
There's a big, big difference though.
UGA is sitting in a state where there's only two major programs - UGA and GT - and one of them, GT, doesn't care diddly about recruiting. PJ goes and gets FCS-level talent for his option offense and then does whatever he's doing with his defense. I know a couple of Georgia HS coaches and they're amazed at how indifferent PJ's staff is towards them even when they're sitting on 4-star guys. And Georgia as a state produces close to 50 FBS-level prospects every year, and UGA gets first pick of those guys. They're also able to dip into Florida, the deepest talent pool of any state not called Texas. They're also better-positioned, geographically, to dip into the Low Counties in South Carolina even than the University of South Carolina is, and there's a lot of talent there too. So they're sitting in one of the most fertile recruiting territories of any program in America.
Tennessee is a state that might, in a good year, produce 15 or so legit FBS-level prospects. It's an artificially inflated program.
Richt has had a golden window to jump through, the last few years, with both UT and UF being down...and with Georgia Tech not even showing up in the recruiting scene. And he hasn't taken advantage of it. The window was there for UGA to absolutely dominate the East and get to the SEC Championship game every year. He didn't do it.
Richt is a good man and an OK coach, but nobody will ever confuse him with Nick Saban.
