Gone

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Not just yet.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

He can put his orange socks back in his drawer.

 

[engie]

Lol

Butch is safe for the moment but the Mark Richt chatter's heating up. A Georgia guy in my office said Coach Mullen's name is coming up a lot as a potential replacement. Wonder if Georgia will ever be dumb enought to really pull the trigger on Richt?

Butch may not be so safe. Rumors that he punched a player in practice this fall. And a former player from Cincy says he hit several players when he was there. If that's the case, he's toast.

As for Richt, I've defended him for years, but I think it may be about time for UGA to pull the plug and go in a different direction. There's a definite difference in his record from 2001-2008 and his record since then. And the SEC East has been significantly weaker since then as well.

Butch is fine. Nothing to him punching a player at UT or at least nothing will come of it. I have no idea about Cincy, though.

If Butch Jones had punched a player at practice, everyone would've known about it about 15 minutes after it happened. You wouldn't be able to keep that a secret in this day and age. That rumor is about as BS as the Kiffin slept with Saban's daughter rumor.

 

[57stratdawg]

Not really. We have no idea what goes on at practice when media isn't there.

 

[HomeBoyDawg]

Yeah, the truth is probably somewhere between Butch outright punched a player and he did nothing to a player.

How many big games does he have to lose before it becomes smart for them to pull the trigger? He has done nothing but underachieve with the amount of talent he has had there.

Guess living in East Tennessee, I'm a little too close to the University of Tennessee situation. Don't disagree that it was time for UT to let Fulmer go but I've seen the pain they've gone through since. My opinion is that fanbases like Georgia are just getting greedy at a time when there is a growing parity in college football and the stars pretty much have to align for you to play for a national championship. I'd gladly take Richt's record over the past 10 years:

2005: 10-3
2006: 9-4
2007: 11-2
2008: 10-3
2009: 8-5
2010: 6-7
2011: 10-4
2012: 12-2
2013: 8-5
2014: 10-3

There's a split in Mark Richt's record between the 2008 and 2009 seasons. From 2001-2008, he was 82-22 (46-18). Since then, he's 58-28 (34-18). As weak as the SEC East has been the last 5 or so years, the difference in UGA is bigger than just the raw numbers shows. If he hasn't been able to win the East in any of the last 3 seasons, it may be time for a change.
