In hind sight, Mark Richt made the right decision to leave

UGA for Miami. While it put UGA in a bad spot, with Smart as the only option available, it's clear he had the vision to know that UGA didn't have what it took to win a NC. And after watching last season, I have to agree with him. Expect big things from him now that he has the resources he needs to win at Miami, and the ACC brand behind him.

I don’t think he had much of a say in the matter of leaving UGA. Not like he said I no longer wanna coach here sorry guys, didn’t happen like that at all. He was getting canned he didn’t have a choice of staying at Uga. So he didn’t make that decision it was made for him, now going to Miami was a good chose for him, he did have a say so In that one.

Richt did not quit Georgia for Miami

Richt read the writing on the wall and knew he was a goner at Georgia.
That said, being at Miami, Richt's alma mater, in South Florida, where the history is better, and where the view is better is clearly a better place for Mark Richt than Georgia had become. It is not a close call to say Miami has had more players, been a stronger program and had more success in my lifetime than Georgia. Miami is a better school, in a better place to live than Athens.

That photo was taken 2 days prior to his "firing" at UGA.

Most UGA fans won't tell you that.

Funny clemson prob had to more to do with the Dawgs

Looking beyond Richt and Miami looking at him than anything else
Richt prioritizing Brice Ramsey losing Deshaun to Clemson was a big deal possibly a nail in the coffin; then our whoopin on Miami opened the spot for him.
Clemson closed one door and opened another for Richt, he should say thank you

Completely agree.
Mark Richt new that Miami was a sleeping giant that just needed a little bit of direction to get back on track. Being a Miami Alum, back-yard recruiting in South Florida, and a member of the ACC made it a no-brainer.
On the other hand, UGA has an embarrassingly irrational fan-base, they play in the downtrodden SEC East, and they're shut out of SEC Championships until Nick Saban retires (unless of course 'Bama doesn't win the SEC West).
It's going to be interesting to see if UGA can beat the chickens this year. If South Carolina beats UGA, the leg-humpers are in for a rough season.

OR that I'm in the FGF alternate universe.
I mean, i know GA will never again win the SEC Championship--except they did this past season.
And I'm glad for anyone who gets to hire their next employer before they actually terminate their current one, but to do it after guaranteeing your own buyout? That's some real talented deal-breaking going on right there. Not really what Richt is known for, but maybe we've never really known him at all.

Any subtle humor you sense is probably meant to imply it's time to pump-the-breaks on KS's "magical" season at UGA.
One season does not make a trend. Personally I think KS is a bit of a fraud and not the second coming of Nick Saban. Mark Richt has similar success early on at UGA, so we've seen it before.

Ah, thank you.
I live in GA, so 'pumping the brakes on Kirby's magical season' is the last thing on anybody's mind around here.
I personally thought the wheels had come off at Auburn at 40-17, but then Auburn lost their teeth while winning the meaningless Iron Bowl, so the Dawgs were able to get some payback in the SECCG and bring the Tide into the CFP with them.
At least, that's the local narrative, but i think the Tide was destined for the CFP regardless of who won the SECCG, based on Wisconsin's loss.
Anyway, you cannot convince a Dawg fan to look at an upcoming season with anything other than unbridled enthusiasm, and i can't really blame them. They have lots of good players who have yet to prove themselves in games, but they get plenty of chances to beat inferior opponents before playing Auburn. If they need to tap the brakes, it will be the team's performance that makes that happen, not unsubstantiated rumors about Kirby on the recruiting trail.
