They won't be firing Flood, because he's done nothing to deserve being fired. He's doing the best he can with Schiano's leftovers and inherited issues from the Schiano years. Once he gets all of us players in, you will see marked improvement. That should be next year.
You can go join your friend RutgersAl in calling for Flood's head!

Not sure anymore, but the best tickets are part of "travel packages" that include hotel, air, etc.

Vegas also lists Utah as underdogs against 4-4 Washington.

Sooooo...Nebraska...
I think it's a winnable game, but I dunno if I'd have us favored. Looks like an overreaction by gamblers to us boatracing a bad Zona team.
Four games left and we need two wins for bowl eligibility. Utah, @ASU, @OSU, Wazzu. ASU is probably a loss, especially in the desert. We haven't beaten them in forever. OSU should be a win, they're really bad. So we need to beat either Utah or Wazzu. Both will be tough games, even though they're at home.

This crown will easily go to UCF no question.
Kansas is really really bad, you probably could beat them.
Any program where the best you can say is that they "probably could" beat Kansas is also really really bad.
Would he really go to Rutgers over the other jobs opening up? USC?
No, I just don't think USC would go after him and I don't think alot of the midtier jobs would go after him. I see USC going after an up and comer, not a ... has been. However, a mid tier opening would get him (and not us).

Seriously Draxal?!!?!?
WTF?!
We have a great head coach. He's got a record of 26-21.
His name is Kyle Flood.

UGA won't fire Richt this year. If anything, he decides that he doesn't want to coach anymore and steps down, or if he wants to stay and the AD wants to make a change, they'll work something out to where he isn't "fired". You can't fire a 15 year head coach and expect to get a coach worth a damn to accept the job opening. Schottenheimer getting fired is a very real possibility, though Richt has been very loyal to his coaches in the past. In hindsight, him being loyal to Bobo all those years that a very vocal minority wanted him fired seems more wise at this time. It also had us stuck with Willie Martinez for a year or two longer than we should have been. I think Schottenheimer is much closer to Martinez than he'll ever be to Bobo.
And if Richt went anywhere, it wouldn't be Rutgers. No offense. And really, a change of scenery for him may not be the worst thing that could happen for him. May give him more energy.
I was talking about the rumblings that were posted today (surprised that you haven't posted them yourself.

Richt hasn't lost control of the Hawaiian Islands...yet.
Oh I'll think he'd get a better job than Rutgers, but I'd still try to drive him up here and give him the keys.
No way any established coaching candidate with any juice left takes that job. It'll have to be a has-been or someone with little to no D1 coaching experience. Facilities are awful, the stadium is empty, and it's difficult to recruit there.

Can't wait for you to send in a totally anonymous confession that reads something like this:
Oh wow. That would be the only way that Richt gets fired.. Enough big donors reach out to the AD and say they're done until he's gone.. Or, the high ranked recruiting class starts dropping like flies.
That said, if Richt is gone, Jacob Eason is likely going to Notre Dame or Michigan. We can all agree that's a bad thing.
Ha, I think USCe is a better possibility if he did leave. And that scares the shit out of me.
He'd be like a fish out of water at Rutgers.
I'm glad our new/current OC blew it with Eason right off the bat. Ugh. At least we have Browning.
Yeah I didn't understand how your school wasn't at least in the running. He never even considered them.
Honestly, I think VPI is his landing spot, if this were to happen. I don't think SCAR wants your sloppy seconds.
I just want Eason to go somewhere else. Like watching the world burn.
Dan Wolken actually said that Jimbo Fisher could go from FSU to Georgia, if it comes open.
Just bad timing. Coaching change right as he hit the recruiting stage, plus he didn't really click with our new OC. We've lost Max Browne to USC and Eason to Georgia now recently. Sigh.
Browning is the future, but there's not much going on behind him. We have 2-3 years to find the next guy and get him ready to step in.
Sakerlina could do a lot worse than him. Like, most of their football history worst.
Real possibility of that if Richt gets fired and the hire isn't a home run hire, or if the search process takes too long. Though I do think that Richt would still try to call all his recruits and try to talk them into staying committed to the school and each other.
If he went somewhere else, I don't know that he'd try to get prospects to come there, though Eason may follow him wherever he went. That's provided that Richt doesn't retire and become a missionary like half the fanbase seems to think is his end goal.
I could be down with Fisher being at UGA. It's undoubtedly a good gig, but that is surprising to me. Though Dan Wolken is obviously more plugged in than I am.
Yeah, coaching changes can wreak havoc in recruiting. One reason all this talk worries me, but if a change is going to happen, they can't let that be the determining factor.

Mail the committee to set up a game between UCF vs Kansas.
would make a great bowl game.

So the U is selling this
Floyd, I don't see too good, does it look like it has the player down or the blocks in the back?

It really is a great idea.
Kansas is a 31.5 point underdog to a team that just got shut out by Iowa State.

Man... I would watch it.
They could call it the Sacko Bowl

I'm sure the karmic balance will realign itself in a few short weeks on the hardwood.

I don't think ESPN cares who gets in from the coastal add long as FSU or Clemson get in from the Atlantic.
Dean Legge of Dawgpost (one of my favorite beat writers) breaks down the crossroads that UGA is at, the offensive regression under Schottenheimer, and the ramifications if some or all of Richt, Schottenheimer, and Pruitt were fired.
