Georgia fires Mark Richt!

Georgia was 9-3 this year. Richt has been on the hot seat for awhile. Man, if you don't win big every year now...you are at risk for losing your job in D-1 football.

Not just this year. Back in the day when I was a grad student at the University of Missouri-Columbia, it was a football-crazy place. At that time they were in the Big-8 conference and were doing pretty well. They had this HFC named Al Onofrio. He had some very good teams with big upsets and then went 6-5 for a couple of years. So they dumped him. The story at the time was that he was fired because he was 1-6 against arch-rival Kansas. Then they paid off a huge contract to get Warren Powers away from Washington (State). I think Powers' first year was 7-5 and it seemed to go south from there. It was a good many years before anyone noticed Missouri again. Point is that sometimes when you've got it pretty good you shouldn't change horses. 9-3 is pretty good. We'll see how Georgia does now.

Was that '81 Mizzou team that knocked off the Eagles in the freezing cold Citris Bowl?

ALSO, remember that to his credit, Ricth is a solid believer in Jesus Christ. It will indeed be interesting to see what direction the Georgia program takes when he is gone.
