Mark Richt, should be seriously considered.

[Thigh Man]

I come in peace!

Carolina is hurting right now, BIG TIME, so I share the pain. Richt would get my vote, .... If I had one.

15 years HC experience @ Georgia and 14 years previously at Fla St makes him well known in the most fertile recruiting area of the country. 74% win ratio, 9-5 bowl record, 49-17 the past 5 years. Appears to be an individual of high moral conduct and enough personality to win over the Grinch.

Our fans seem to have a stick up their collective butt about him.

I've heard rumors that he is going to talk to Maryland.

Good Luck RU

All indications are that he will take his time and there are no assurances that he will even take another coaching job. He and his wife love living in Athens and may just end up staying put. Plus, he'll still be at Georgia through their bowl game, so that may not fit too well with our needs...

Richt also interviewing for the UVA job per ESPN's Mark Schlabach

So we have Miami, UVA and MD who he's rumored to be interviewing with, what's another few hours north?

Here is the issue with Richt coming to the Northeast. The guy is a devout christian who has been in the bible belt his entire life. Go south of Maryland and it is all christian radio, they do not call it the bible belt for nothing. He would not adapt well to NJ where our attitudes, in general to church and religion are much more lax. I can see Richt asking the team to kneel in prayer before a game and all bloody hell would break loose in the Star ledger and this board! While a coach of Richts caliber would be welcome here I just don't see him being a good fit for us in the northeast.

Not true. Schiano and flood both had team prayers.

This is incorrect. I live in the Atlanta market. In 2014 there were two Christian music stations in the top 12 (#8 and #12). The third Christian music station was #25 in the ratings. The top of the market is a mix of news/talk, hip hop and R&B, pop, rock, and some country.

Richt would be a home run hire.

This is a cartoonishly bigoted view of both the north and south, Mark Richt, as well.

[soundcrib]

We definitely are. Is he seriously considering us?

 

[Ru2bnj]

Richt isn't coming to RU and it doesn't have anything to do with his personal beliefs. First and foremost, he is a football coach. Highly doubt he would seriously consider a job like RU at this point. If he doesn't take the Miami job...where he played back in the late 70s, I think he will take his time and maybe sit out for a year or so.

 

[bitnez]

I think he sits out in the end. He could be in line for any number of big jobs next year. The guy is a great coach and universally respected as a good man. I'm not sure he wants a project right now. That takes a lot of energy and despite his desire to coach I wonder if he would be all in from day one without a year off to recharge

That's what I thought, but why take 3 separate interviews so far. I mean I can understand Miami as his alma mater, but he's not the type of guy who would waste people's time if not interested. Sometimes these guys that get unjustly fired, are raging to get back into the game and prove uga was wrong.

I agree, it's silly.
I wouldn't discount one thing, though: my wife's family is very rural evangelical....and they think NJ Catholics are barely Christian if not outright damned. An evangelical protestant coming to Jersey will need to have a more ecumenical view of Christianity.

 

[BROTHERSKINNY]

Bottom line: Richt has been in the south his entire life. He is not coming to NJ unless we are prepared to pay him a ridiculous amount of money which we aren't.

 

[MozRU]

As I said in another post

Why in God's name would Richt go north come to RU? He's been recruiting in the south for over 15yrs. He's a southern. No way him, his wife and kids go north.

Cross him off your lists dudes. I am 100% confident our new AD isn't wasting his time even thinking about Richt - as he shouldn't.

make him an offer he can't refuse. If we want to run with the big dogs we can't let a coach like Richt get away from us now.

Richt interviewing with UVA today. Maybe he has an interview scheduled every day this week, moving a little more north each time. Miami yesterday, Charlottesville today, College Park on Thursday?, New Brunswick on Friday?
