I know right.

I hope he's gone too, but I couldn't care less if he's there next time we play them or not.

Thanks for the clarification, Bobby . . . er, John. The weaker an opponent the better in your mind. Good for you, I suppose. Not so good for our SOS.

Things never really work out that way.
Maybe its "hubris" but all great runs come to an end sooner rather than later.
Saban has been lucky two years in a row.
The rest of the conference is not in decline, except maybe LSU, which is debatable.
Arkansas will get better. A&M is already a contender and for some reason Auburn can go from chicken s$%t to chicken salad overnight.
Georgia will continue to be very good, although it will continue to be Georgia.
Tennessee, contrary to all the talk, will get better. Vanderbilt is a story now, Spurrier will always "have a chance", and Florida?
Probably the second best program in America going into next season.
To be the best you have to beat the best.
Bring on Bama.

A coach doesn't factor into the SOS. Their players are still good enough to win.

Georgia will continue to be Georgia because Richt is a joke of a coach. The argument some posters are trying to make that coaches don't affect SOS is absurd.

We'll have no problem with our SOS considering we generally wouldn't face Bama until the SEC title.

85jud, Lombardi could come from the dead and coach Georgia and Georgia would still be Georgia.
They do have great players,at least when they get there.
The something happens......

The point I'm making is a coach can affect the strength of a team and therefore the SOS of the opponents who play them. Dooley was able to hold his own at UGa. Look at Spurrier at USC.

Georgia will continue to be Georgia? Richt will continue to be Richt? FYI, our coach is 0-2 vs. UGA and Richt. Silly argument. We all know football success has cycles...and they've won the SEC East and beaten us two years in a row. True story.

This sounds logical.

Grantham is the problem, not Richt. He'll be just like Smart. We won't be rid of him till we're rid of Richt, so the jokes about hoping Richt stays at UGA forever have really gotten stale.

As long as we're in the crappy boat we're in now with coaching turnover, I absolutely do want to see the other programs suffer likewise. We aren't on probation and we are in the hottest hotbed of high school talent in the nation, yet our roster numbers always put us in a hurt compared to Saban's oversigning tactics. Pile on top of that we can't keep a coordinator for more than a year or two. We are a top level FBS program. Urban Meyer got us to the point where we should have been able to reload on players and have assistants topping off their resumes here. We aren't obligated to fight with one hand tied behind our backs, and I'm sick of it.
