Three years ago, if you would have told me that tonight's Georgia vs Georgia tech game would be the most pivotal moment in Mark Richt's career, I would have laughed at you. Well, I ain't laughin' now. At 5-6, UGA desperately needs to win this one.
Overall, Mark Richt has done a remarkable job as leader of the Dawg Pound in Athens. However, many fans have started directing angry barks in his direction. You see, some of the fan base has become disenchanted with the Richt regime, due to a couple of sub par seasons, including this one. Most of them wish to see a new coaching staff brought into Athens. But, sometimes the best move is the one you don't make.
Legendary coaches Vince Dooley, Bobby Bowden, and Joe Paterno all struggled at some point during their tenures. But, these men were given an opportunity to turn things around and elevated their programs to national prominence. Mark Richt deserves that same chance.
Regardless of tonight's outcome, I hope to see Richt remain in Athens.
Thanks to the talented sports writers at the AJC for giving me and the rest of their readers some valuable insight into this topic.
