NOICE!!!  Would love to see him come back in.  Hopefully, Mom has been turned off to the Kirby Smart 'I'm better than you' show and just wants a good football future for her son.

That's a good start. They need to get mom on board with the idea. I don't think they will have too much ground to make up with Aubrey himself.

Watching your home-state team lose at home to frickin' Vanderbilt will have that effect.

But seriously, though, I do hope we can get him back in the fold. He'd be a great addition, and I'd love to see what Don Brown can do with him.

To be honest, they needed to get rid of him if they wanted to take the next step.

Richt was at UGA for at least a decade, and won the SEC I think once. Maybe two times. And they always, ALWAYS, had 1-2 headscratcher games a year where you wondered how they could've possibly lost. 

Richt was a good coach, but for a a program that attacts almost as much talent as Alabama does, and to underacheive the way they did, it was clear Richt was not going to get them where they wanted to go.

Tom Osborne went 21 years at Nebraska before winning his first national championship, and by the early 90s he was infamous for having 1-2 headscratcher games per year. I bet Nebraska is glad they didn't fire him in order "to take the next step."

Unless you're building a mega-dynasty like Saban at Alabama, once you build a very good team, a lot is up to chance. We saw the flip side of this with Bo - we were consistently one of the top five teams in the country over his tenure, but never won a national championship with him. That isn't some kind of coaching flaw; that's just the breaks.

Georgia was never consistently one of the top teams in the country under Richt's tenure. That's the difference. They were usually good for being somewhere between 15-25, and relative to the talent level they brought in, that's not acceptable. 

Look, I won't dispute that Richt was a good coach. He was good for 9-10 wins a year, and the occasional 11 win year to go with it. But when you recruit at as high a level as he did, and all you have to show for it is one Sugar Bowl win over an overmatched Hawaii team, and a slew of underwhelming Outback / Gator Bowl appearances, its time to ask yourself if you have the guy who is going to take you to the Promised Land. 

I don't think Richt was ever going to be that guy at UGa. Sure, you're not going to compete for a title every single year unless you're Saban/Meyer, but with that kind of talent, you ought to at least pop your head up once every 2-3 years. 

Richt's teams always came in with high expectations, and then they finished 8-4 or 9-3, when the talent they had should've been getting them to anywhere between 10-2 to 12-0.

Just saw on Twitter that Ambry Thomas is going to be a visitor in EL this weekend. I'm stoked he's going to be there in person to witness us pound Sparty for 60 minutes.
