Lol;
Here’s the difference between Richt, Butch, and Brown.
We didn’t want Butch b/c he was “old.” We clowned Brown going back to UNC b/c he was “Old.” We picked up Richt, and even though he wasn’t “old” per say, he aged.
Brown, & Butch was in the studio, looking through film all day long for their new careers. Both felt they got the wrong end of the deal at both Texas & UNC. They were out to prove something.
Richt experienced a real measure of success w UGA, built them up to a national contender each & every year.....but, he was burnt out. Not sure if it was a matter of being burnt out in general or the fact he never won the big one and the booster pressure year in and out over his last 5 yrs weighed on him. He truly wanted to retire, and it wasn’t until Blake made a stupid offer, one he couldn’t refuse (the most $ he’s ever made & an opportunity to coach a his son.....his dream), Richt begrudgingly chose Miami.
I thought Richt came to us w/ something to prove, and he did; he came to prove that he can still call plays, and his son is an upcoming coach. Both epically failed, and u literally saw him age as our coach.
Brown may have 2-3 good yrs left, but he’s going to get every single ounce out of it to prove his naysayers wrong. We had a golden opportunity to smoke the ACC Coastal, but who knows if that window is open like it was.
