I was musing about 1980-1982 when it seemed (to me at the time) that UGA "had arrived" and would dominate CFB for a long time. They had a pretty good team the next year and then fell back into relative mediocrity for two decades. Ray Goff wasn't the answer, and Jim Donnan had OK teams that could beat the rivals, and then Mark Richt showed up and after a promising first year got them ALMOST there a few times. Fans weren't happy with almost it turns out, and they of course went with some DC from Alabama, one of a couple thousand assistants to some HC there. The first year was a bit rough, but the second was pretty lit, but still an almost year, but very almost.
