“A wise and respected old football coach once said, I really believe God called on me to coach, and that is the reason I stayed in it for so long.” ————— ————— ————— 9-3. A respectable year for many college football coaches, was not enough for Coach mark Richt to keep his job at Georgia. As noted by many pundits, a win in this year’s bowl game would make it the 10th time in 15 seasons at UGA that Coach Richt would have posted double digit victories, which is an amazing statistic that might could only be duplicated by one current coach (and we all know who that is). But so it goes in this what have you done for me lately world of college football where a coach who is beloved by his players past and present, admired by fans of all ages and revered as one of the winningest coaches of this century is let go by the university he has given so much to because even though he has won at an astounding clip, the trophy cases of conference and championships have been bare for 10 years now and a coveted national championship has never materialized You are listening to Episode 031 of the Waitin’ Since Last Saturday podcast. Your co-hosts are Tony Waller, Will Leitch and Scott Duvall As Tony mentions in this episode, we Georgia fans have to be okay with the fact that our administration just fired a coach that won 74% of his games. It’s said that Mark Richt will coach the team in the bowl game to finish out the final game of his 15th season here at Georgia. Good luck Coach Richt, we wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors and thank you for representing the University of Georgia in a manner that all of us fans can be proud of. ————— ————— ————— Before we get started, the quote at the beginning of this intro was made by Bobby Bowden of Florida State. And for what its worth, he did not win a national championship with the Seminoles until his 18th season.
