I'm tired of us getting "Bobo-Ed" to start the second half each game. Bobo is a good OC until he seems to forget what it is that makes the offense move; ultimately, his inconsistency will cost the Dawgs a(nother?) game. Richt needs to get more involved with whatever "adjustments" Bobo thinks need to be made at half time. They never pan out and typically mean abandoning what was successful in the first half. If it works, keep doing it until the other team can stop you.
Agreed JP; Caleb's final statement is indicative of the mistake many fans make: "Richt just isn’t the man to take us all the way, if we couldn’t win a title with Aaron Murray, Matthew Stafford, David Greene, Knowshon Moreno, AJ Green, or Gurley, I fear that we may not ever win a title." These are all individuals, but championships happen when the right combination of individuals play as a team (and catch a few breaks too!). Even the 1980 NC didn't just happen because of Hershel (though it wouldn't have happened without him either); it happened because they played as a team and had a heck of a last minute win in Jacksonville. Look at any of the national champions over the last decade. They are teams, not one or two individuals and everyone else. As far as recruiting goes, the bigger factor is the type of mindset these top recruits bring to campus. It's the difference between a Gurley and a Alvin Kamara. Both talented, but one committed to something beyond himself. Obviously, it helps nabbing top talent, but until they've proven they're not prima donnas, stars mean nothing. I think Richt can (and will) win it all in Athens. He had the right teams to do it in 2001 and 2007; but it takes all the cards falling in the right place (like not having more than one undefeated team nationally as in 2001) as well as taking care of business (like not dropping stupid games to SC of TN in 2007). Everyone is discounting the Dawgs this year, even to win the East. Fine by me. Richt-coached teams typically perform better when they're discounted in the national lime-light.
