Twitter reaction to Mark Richt's ineptitude against elite competition
Georgia’s unimpressive performance against Alabama on Saturday drew many jeers from the cheap seats at Sanford Stadium.
The Bulldogs fell behind by three touchdowns at halftime before ultimately falling, 38-10.
Richt is 38-34 against ranked teams at Georgia, but just 11-18 since 2009.
Several Georgia fans on Twitter let Richt have it after the loss:

Saban > Richt. Enjoy your 9-4 season and your loss to UCF in the Music City Bowl

Mark Richt needs to be fired

Mark Richt needs to go. We will never win a national championship with him as head coach. He's solid, but not stellar. #dawgs

Mark Richt loses every big game

Mark Richt needs to go. Its like a mediocre relationship where nothing really bad or great happens but you both know its not meant to be.

If yall love Richt so much, make him the AD. B/C he simply does not have what it takes to win big games. I truly wish he did, but he doesn't

Like I've always said…. Mark Richt is just a good ole Christian man. #RollTide

I don't care how classy Mark Richt is. I want to win Championships, and he can't get it done.

Loved Mark Richt at FSU & would've liked him to be head coach there, but how has Georgia kept him so long? He NEVER wins anything.

Mark richt is a good coach but damn Georgia always seems to lose big games

Mark Richt definitely deserves respect for his record at UGA but he's been there for 14 years with zero Natl champs and just two sec titles

Morons, if Richt leaves Georgia will become the next Tennessee.
I think a lot of us would take an expected letdown over the hype for a couple years if that’s what it takes.
Please let that happen. But seriously, that would be a huge blow to the East’s reputation. He makes Georgia better, whether they are in the national title game or the playoffs. He helps to raise the East up, and the East really, really needs it.
How bout McElwain’s gators?
Hell, we’d love to have Richt in Knoxville, compared to the dumpster fire we have burning at the moment.
The Internet has given complete IDIOTS a forum. COMPLETE IDIOTS!!!!

You don’t have to know what to do next to know what you have to do now.
Alabama came ready to play and UGA did not look ready. Who else is there to blame if not Richt? Also our special teams have looked horrible but Richt doesn’t believe we need a special teams coach. This happens over and over. If Richt is not to blame please tell me who is.
Bama was just better. UGA still can have a great season and Richt is still a great coach. Calling for him to be fired is silly. Roll Tide
That’s easy to say if you’re not a UGA fan.
The rest of the SEC East would love to see UGA can Richt.
Don’t feel bad Georgia fans. You could have Steve Spurrier as your head coach! Go Cocks!
I wish I could disagree with the UGA fan base. I think Richt is a great guy, and a good coach. Georgia needs a great coach to have a great team. I don’t know if the problem is recruiting or coaching. All I know is what they have is not getting them from good to great.
That is hilarious! I thought UT fans were crazy for calling for CBJ’s head, but Georgia fans have definitely got us beat. Good luck finding a man that will bring you such good teams on such a consistent basis.
A few goobers on twitter is about 5% of the “fans”. The Dawgs are 4-1 with the only loss being to a West team. It won’t be easy but can still win out and play for the SECCG and a playoff spot so everyone just chill out.
Yea, Dawgs were outplayed in every aspect of the game. Learn from it and move on.
Mark Richt is a great coach. I love his class, his values, work ethic and integrity. You can fire him. I know, hire Lane Tiffin, or better yet, call Derrick Dooley. Now there’s a winner for you. The SEC is a tough conference,playing ranked teams week in and out. There are no easy wins. (Unless you play Vanderbilt and now Tennessee.) We fired our coach years ago and look where TN is today. We have a motivating empty headed dope as coach.
Ah, “Lane Tiffen”, Alabama’s former kicker a few years ago.
Maybe it was the players, they didn’t seem to be focused. Perhaps read too many press clippings? Tide come out mad and didn’t let up.
am tired of being out coached…out played…when is UGA going to win the “big” game? I am not the only person to ask this question. This is the same excuse I hear every time we lose the ” big” game. When is Richt going to say I called the wrong game. I don’t get my team prepared to play. I don’t provide confidence or set expectations to the team that this is a must win game. I feel bad because CMR has done a lot for UGA football…. BUT…..
Enough is enough! Stop making excuses and fix the problem! If you (CMR) are the problem, go down to the AD’s office and hand him your resignation!!! Fix the problems!!! win out and set a fire under your team’s a$$ and bring home what UGA’s fan base has deserved after 35 years of mediocracey! Our goal is to not MAKE IT TO ATLANTA! The goal is to WIN in Atlanta! And win a National championship. Get it?! If you can’t get it done step aside and let us try another route!!! Or……fix it and stop making excuses. Your job is to win not make the team feel good about losing. Take the we were out played, the they where the better team, and stick that up your a$$ because that don’t do a bit of good for the team or the alumni or the donors or the avg good ole fan. Fix it show progress or get out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And let someone else try!!!!!
Largest road win against Sec AP ranked team…. WTF
I think bama is the best team in the SEC right now. But the season is still in UGA’s hands to reach the SECCG. There is still a lot of conference play ahead…
I love this every time UGA is beaten by a team that is better. Richt is a great coach. Bama is the only fanbase that has a right to complain about not playing for a title every year (and if Saban loses another game this year, folks will call for his head, just watch)
Now I ask SDS to have some fun with UGA fans. If you get rid of Richt, who are you going to get? I’ll throw out the first one for you…
Kirby Smart – Nope! If he wanted the job, he’d have it already. Remember “planegate” with Petrino at Auburn? If that taught anybody anything it’s that most these coaches agents have deals in the works before before the coach they are replacing is even gone. I’d bet that he’s already been approached about the position over the past few years.
Now lets hear other names…
Tom Herman from Houston U. Former OC from Ohio State (last year), now winning at Houston and will go SOON to another big time school that will improve overnight like Michigan and Florida have this year. Meanwhile UGA will still be paralyzed in fear of losing a coach that consistently delivers 8-9 wins, meaningless bowl wins, “still has a chance to win the SEC East” after embarrassing losses year after year (really now, who effing cares if we win the East or not, if that’s all we win?), and who cannot manage the clock, cannot beat teams that employ “tricky” plays like draws and play action, and repeatedly fails to motivate the team for big games. Tell me you wouldn’t trade one national title for 20 SEC Championships. I would.
