Mark Richt could have done that.
Yeah, I told my buddy who is a Big Cane Fan CMR was NOT their answer.  Deprived of the well of talent that UGA gets annually, CMR is a mediocre coach.

I'm interested in seeing UNC play tomorrow at noon, a bit.  They will be my adopted team for 2020.  

Do folks here mostly support EMU in such games?

I support anyone playing Pitt. :93:  Even if I do have 40 confidence points on them.

I loved Richt to the Canes.  He was in a talent rich area and, to me, he had already proven he could recruit in a talent rich area.  I didn’t necessarily think he’d return them to the dominance of the 80s but I thought he’d have Miami consistently back in the top 10-15.

I don't typically pull for the Michigan Mac teams unless of course they are going up against the Wolverines, but I generally like to see the Mac teams collect P5 scalps in most other instances.

Still around, here and there across the country but not in every state.
They started here in Austin, TX and they're common around the state.  I definitely find them more interesting than most chain sandwich places.

I came to believe Richt was very over rated as a coach.  He could recruit, and that was about it.  And the recruiting may have been more due to his assistants.  He's a very nice guy, I wish him well, but he's not, in my judgment, a more than mediocre as a coach.

I'm a tough sell though as I'm starting to wonder if Kirby is a good coach.

Wow, first time a team has ever been shut out in Shreveport history (44 years)!!!  And against LA Tech!!!  
Fun fact:  both teams set the same Independence Bowl record in this game:  most punts (9 ea).

Yeah, I’d argue that’s a pretty sharp curve to grade them on.  The only Richt didn’t do at Georgia was win the NC and that is really the only thing Smart hasn’t done either.  But I guess if I were a UGA fan and that had been my experience for years then at some point you just want to take that next step and win it all because “almost” begins to be a burden and not hopeful.

Yeah, basically 98% of fans of other teams would love to trade places with you but your focus is on that other 2% because your team is so close but can’t quite close the deal.

Penn State's transfer portal WR Shorter was in Gainesville.  That's interesting.

Ugh, bad look for the EMU kid spitting on the Pitt player.  Rightfully ejected.

Are EMU assistants working in the pits or garage?  Did Quick Lane bribe them to wear those?

My "curve" is based on not getting clearly out coached except rarely, and not getting mysteriously upset by very inferior teams.  Richt obviously had problems beating Florida which was one issue, his teams lost twice to Tech at home, there was just these mysterious and predictable let down games, like losing to mediocre Tennessee badly and South Carolina with perhaps his most talented team.  These are not things that happen to Saban or Meyer coached teams.

One thing about Dooley was his teams very rarely were upset, and they occasionally pulled off a major upset.  They were tough teams, in the main, and usually not all that talented.  Since about 2002, UGA has had talent to burn and weird seasons, like this one.  They did have some decent wins but they almost looked bad winning them.

Ehhh, you’ll have a pretty short list of good coaches. And as long as the understanding is you will by nature be mostly unsatisfied by everyone, that’s AOK.

Richt’s issue isn’t that he’s compared to two of the best all time here. And you know what, through the right lens, Urbs took some tough upsets that derailed chasing bigger things. Richt’s Miami tenure was interesting because he was better than expectations twice, one dud and done.

I think he was a 90th percentile coach, but in a place that badly wants a 99th to fulfill its goals.

Wacky ending to the quick lane bowl. I wonder if it'll be revealed what the Pitt player said to Glass.
