CC: Mark Richt
I know we've bandied this about in general CC threads, but thought it was worthwhile to discuss a high-major coach who may be on the market after this season. Bulldog fans are getting a bit restless and Richt (or UGA) may be looking to make a change. What would you say to having Richt in Ann Arbor?
Note: One of the Michigan Rivals mods is saying he's heard Richt may be in play absent an SEC Championship win, and that he'd be looking to land at a major non-SEC program in that event.

I would say "slightly underperforming" based on talent, like Lloyd. Considering we're currently at "grossly underperforming" I think I'd take that.

Yes, please. I wanted Martin to go after Richt in '07. Wanted Brandon to go after him in '11. Want whomever to go after him in '14 (if Harbaugh says no).
He's built a consistent program in a state that traditionally has okay talent, but not Fla/Tx/Cal/Oh level talent. He appears to be as "on the up-and-up" as you can be in the SEC.
I like him a lot, and he would bring the instant boost that the program requires.

Georgia is a big time talent state, easily on par with Ohio, and they neighbor other big time talent states in FL, AL and somewhat SC. He has a much better talent advantage at UGA than he would at Michigan.

He may be the best guy available and it's going to be Mark Stoops. Up and coming don't have to over pay Ohio ties with Florida West Coast and S EC pedigree. Wears a headset.

The only thing he's been consistent at is shitting the bed in big games. He's only made 3 BCS bowls in 14 years.

Georgia poops themselves every year. No way.
And plus everyone says he runs a ''clean'' program yet Georiga always has someone suspended or arrested. And before you tell me ''Well he suspends guys that other places would play'' how about getting guys that don't get arrested to begin with?
Plus they're in one of the most talented states in the nation in terms of high school talent and they do nothing with it.

and come directly to a Big Ten team since 1960 is tiny—it appears to be two: Hayden Fry going from N. Texas St. to Iowa, and Fred Akers going from Texas to Purdue. However, Akers was either fired by TX or was going to be, and it's highly unlikely any coach would willingly ditch a program like Texas for Purdue.
Cooper was born in Tennessee and coached at Tulsa, but he came to OSU from ASU and his the entirety of his coaching experience aside from Tulsa was midwest and west coast.
That's not to say it's impossible to lure a guy from the deep south, but it would be bucking a historical trend that's over a half-century in extent.

Dear god ... no!
There is this UGA homer at my gym. We talk football a lot, and he describes Mark Richt as the Tony Romo of college coaching. Basically, he manages to shit the bed in the absolute worst possible way. This week the UGA guy just walked passed me and said Tony Romo just lost to Florida... Pretty much the truth.

Even if he would come, which he won't: Great human being, only better than average coach.
