[QUOTE="pressvirginia, post: 129399148, member: 1348623"] I can't speak for sure as to what Georgia might do, but members of the national media seem to think there's questions surrounding Richt's future. ESPN and CBS headlines are referenced above. ESPN's story says "Georgia is at a crossroads. When Richt leads his team onto the field Saturday against rival Florida, he’ll be coaching for his future. A loss might signal that it’s time for he and Georgia to finally part ways." Today the Sporting News wrote "Saturday Game is big for Mark Richt's future." The Orlando Sentinel wrote "The temperature is rising once again around Georgia coach Mark Richt, even if hot-seat talk is absurd. But Richt would calm a fiery fan base with a win Saturday against No. 13 Florida, a team that has given his critics considerable of ammunition." Earlier this month when UGA lost their first game of the season (to Alabama), "hundreds" of UGA fans took to Twitter to "call for the school to fire Richt." Apparently #FireRicht is an annual campaign from a segment of unsatisfied Bulldogs fans. The SEC - and most of its fans - has different expectations and pressure to win. If you don't believe that, listen to the Paul Finebaum show sometime. The league fancies itself as magnificent and fans and media have widely touted it as unparalleled. That eventually changes things for coaches. They've admitted it. This month Steve Spurrier resigned. Urban Meyer is on record saying he was "broken" and "depressed" in his final year at Florida. Phil Fulmer went 152-52 at Tennessee and won a national title. In '07 Fulmer went 10-4. In '08, he was ousted. Auburn's Gene Chizik went 33-19 and was fired just two seasons after going undefeated and winning the national championship. Nick Saban's agent contacted Texas brass about the head coaching position in 2013 because Saban was agitated with Alabama boosters' and fans' expectations. Considering all of it, Richt could become available by firing or by becoming sick of the crap at Georiga just the same way other SEC coaches have. Now maybe he beats FL tomorrow and UGA cools its jets. But if he were to become available, Lyons and Gee would be foolish to not at least try. Lyons you'd figure has SEC ties and would not mind to have a former SEC coach. Gee hired Urban Meyer to OSU. Richt by far has the most impressive resume of any names I'm seeing thrown around.
