Got a close buddy with Miami ties

Bottom line on Richt is this, briefly. He inherited an 8-win program in disarray and made it a 10-win program. He left it much better than he found it, particularly in that it was stocked for the run Smart made last year. Richt is indeed a "good man," I know him personally, and he does a whole lot of things quietly, away from the media, that back that up. I recall he gave his coaches raises out of his own salary because the AD wouldn't do it. Players and assistant coaches love him. Our AD definitely did not. For whatever reason, he was an elite head coach in his first seven years, and not thereafter. Lots of theories why--his wife has had cancer and he's had some other family issues. But his attention to detail in the program flagged seriously during his last seven or eight years. I don't know whether he's interested in getting back to this part of the world, but I'm curious to see what he accomplishes at Miami.

Would it piss off uga fans? If so, I support the hire.

Never known MoverofFridge2 to just troll for the hell of it. But I don’t really see any scenario where Richt would want to come here or be welcomed here

I dont think so either BUZZ....just passing along what I have heard
 
I think what Richt said was "I can't wait to play Georgia Tech this season".

Which got relayed to someone else as "Richt wants to play Georgia Tech"

Which got relayed yet again as "Richt wants to go to Georgia Tech"

Which has now become "Richt wants to coach Georgia Tech"

Have you lived in Miami in the last dozen years? Not visited, not vacationed, not gone there on business. But actually lived there? Very different than Clarke County, Jawjaw. And you leave Miami to work in Belle Glade, South Bay, Pahokee, Lauderhill, Riviera Beach, Hypoluxo, Davie. Three years might be enough.

Absolutely. I've never been convinced he had a deep desire to go to his alma mater. He might be more attached to FSU. When he was fired, a lot of us felt he should take a year off and figure out what he was going to do, but he rebounded immediately with the Miami opportunity. Maybe it was a good decision, maybe not, but though his family has grown up, it's not a nice place (though remember, he grew up in Boca Raton. Before his conversion, Richt was a hell-raiser in college, and finally got his chance to start when Jim Kelly got injured. A game later, he got suspended for undisclosed reasons. His conversion didn't happen until he was at FSU.) Richt doesn't like to jump around between jobs and that's for sure. But I could see him making another move if the right offer comes up. I agree with whoever said he'd like to be somewhere the recruiting is easier, but who wouldn't? Richt did well enough in Athens at recruiting, but Smart has shown it should have been much better.

TBD that Smart is better than Richt, he might just be on the Freeze train

I just checked with my sources at the Turkish consulate in Miami. They said they have an audio recording of Richt discussing with close associates about several meetings with Stansbury and the move to Tech at the end of the season. The conversation was recorded through a third party recording app on an Apple Watch worn by one Richt's associates, who was picked up by Turkish intelligence officers right outside Azucar gay nighclub on 32nd street and the recording was analyzed at the consulate. My sources are reporting that the Turkish intelligence officers initially meant to detain a Saudi operative implicated in Khashoggi case but picked up the wrong guy instead. The Richt associate was subsequently released after discovery of the mistake and given a gift card for one free gyro at any Turkish consulate as an apology for wrongful detainment.

This is Akinji reporting from CNN Atlanta.

Half the running backs in the NFL right now played for Richt at UGA. Recruiting has not been the reason for UGA losses in about 20 years.

Further, CMR expanded proactively their recruiting base into New Jersey and the greater Northeast.

that tells me Mark Richt is interested in the GT job if it comes open. I basically told him he was full of shat, but he says Richt doesn't think Miami is the UM it used to be.

I dont buy it for a second, but I wouldn't mind seeing him on The Flats even though he did coach the nad lickers.
