I thought Richt was a builder of men. I guess we are just unlucky and the local cops like to pick on the players. Or Richt is such a straight arrow that he does the right thing and makes the cops arrest the players when they do wrong.

I can't wait to hear the responses to this one. Hey, if we had our usual 3 we would have beat Florida at something this past year.

I'm sorry. I couldn't resist.

I really hope it's different this year, but I have a sneaking suspension that it will not.

Here's hoping I'm dead wrong. Go Dawgs!

Well, that sucks!!
 
There are different ways to interpret those stats.
Kids get in trouble because they do the things that get them in trouble. That's not on the coach or the program, it's on the kids that do those things. Those kids are being identified.

It's the kids that get in trouble and are given a pass by the coach and repeat the behavior that would reflect on the coach and the program. So from that standpoint, WSt, Fl, GA, at least are holding the kids accountable somewhat. And the stats show that..

I think we know CMR is fair with these kids and determines the appropriate discipline, yet he also has a boundary line. And when that line is crossed, no more chances are given.

Lastly, since the stats are arrests, that speaks volumes for the number of kids not arrested, and/or the kids that had the potential of poor behavior that did think twice, make better decisions, and alter choices to avoid being arrested....that reflects on the coach more than the kids that ignored the warnings and rules given by a coach and continued in poor behavior....
 
Or it could be poor judgment in recruiting the wrong kids. There should be a way to vet these kids better and predict they are going to be a problem.

I knew the responses were going to be interesting.

Lets look at the arrest that were made also, I will take a few Bike helmet thefts and 60 dollar check cashing schemes, over raping and pillaging in the community, hasn't Auburn had a couple of murders in their apartment community?. Of those arrest, how many were serious offenses, Just Taylor? As a follow up, you need to look at the police departments in each town and see how they treat criminal offenses. If you recall our friend Jamis wasn't "arrested" for stealing crablegs, he was issued a "civil citation" something that is BS and is just there to make crime rates look low and keep property values up. That is directly from the Tally DAs mouth.

I'd like to know of those 22, how many were for things other than motor vehicle violations or alcohol related incidents? I'd also like to know if the arrest rate for the football team is any different for the student body as a whole. Until you get those stats, this is irrelevant IMO.

Do you REALLY believe that? By all accounts we've had several players get arrested that came from great families. As long as they aren't for acts of violence or things that harm others, I really don't care about it. What's more important than the act itself is the coach's response to it. You seem to feel Richt is an inadequate coach for player behavior. Cite one case of what he should have done differently and how it could have been prevented.

they broke the law...what difference does it make?
 
The point I'm trying to make is that you can't tout yourself as morally superior to the rest of the conference as the reason you want to keep a coach with a mediocre record and be at the top of the list for arrests.

Do you not see that as a problem?
 
I would like to see a curfew for athletes. Most of the time when an athlete gets in trouble, it's past midnight. There is no reason a college athlete should be out after midnight.
 
I blame Richt for all the DUIs in GA by adults. I also blame Richt for all GA domestic violence cases. That man has lost control of the entire state. I'll bet people are missing their quotas at work because of Richt too.
 
Nope, but he is reason that we can't win the East against a team we killed head to head.

Keep defending him and we can look forward to another 10 years without an Sec championship, much less a NC.

Because every UGA coach in history won championships every year.
 
I wonder how those numbers compare percentage-wise to the total number of students arrested from each school...

10 years dude. How long? A high school coach could win as many as Richt with our talent. Dooley didn't have our current talent pool to draw.

Never mind, you can't reason with a Richtbot.

How about instead of the name calling you simply articulate a rational explanation why Richt is incapable of winning a championship. Oh, you can't because he's already done it.

I would think that a 10 year drought can be easily explained by 7 SEC national champions. That leaves only 3 years when the best team in America wasn't in your conference. Now it should be pretty clear why UGA hasn't won an SEC championship in 10 years. Ironically, in 2 of the seasons when the SEC champion didn't win it all, UGA finished 2nd in the East so it's not like they have fallen off the map.

Come off the ledge and join the rest of us these next few seasons. You don't see a change in how things are getting done and an entire offseason without an arrest? Maybe it's our time or maybe it's not. Either way it's great to be a Georgia Bulldog!

Enjoy.
 
I wonder how many Georgia Division I signees have been arrested vs other states. This state has guys getting busted in Alabama, Tenn,Mississippi, SC, etc. Talking big time players...Cam Newton, Alvin Kamara, Da'Rick Rogers, Nkemdiche..the list goes on and on.

Like I said, I really hope that I am dead wrong. I'm always pulling for the Dawgs. I was at Georgia when Hershel was there. I bleed red and black. That's why it sickens me so.

After last years Florida game, I was done with Mark Richt. I had defended in him the past. I heard him speak at Holy Innocence School in Atlanta. I was a Richt fan. When I saw him walking off the field cutting up and laughing after such an embarrassing loss, I knew then that he was a problem. It disgusted me. It certainly didn't bother him like it bothered me and I don't get paid 4 million a year. He's too comfortable.

I'm sorry; he doesn't have it in him. We can do better. Maybe we will end up like TN. That's the risk you take. More likely we end up like Ohio State. The country laughs at Mark Richt under achieving every year with our players. There are too many very good coaches that would bust their ass to be the coach at Georgia with it's talent pool.

But don't get me wrong, I will be bitching and pulling for them every game this year. That will never change. I hope Richt proves me wrong, but I seriously doubt it.

I think the record is above mediocre and don't see the arrest record as being any more of a problem than any other school has to face...it's college football wide...on every campus and every coach has to deal with some level of it...I think MR handles it very well...many athletes have been dismissed.

Georgia is No. 3 out of all the colleges in the country...no. 3. Yes, it happens at all school, it's happening more often than most at Georgia.

Statistics without context are worthless. UGA is #3 in arrests over a 5 year period. Does that mean UGA players commit more crimes or does it simply mean that local law enforcement is more likely to make an arrest around Athens compared to peer college towns?

Did the study detail the charges for all arrests? Can we really tell who is good or bad based on such a simple statistic? Just because a person doesn't get arrested doesn't mean they haven't done something bad.

The way you are attacking this, if we applied your attitude to working adults, a lot of people should be fired from their jobs. I'm sure the rate of DUI and domestic violence in particular is way higher in the adult population than the football team. Many of the perpetrators are in management and executive positions too.

Would I like for all UGA athletes to stay out of trouble? Yes. Would I like for the guy driving next to me to not be an alcoholic who can't decide when to drive? Yes.

Many championship teams in history had a bunch of bad apples breaking laws and NCAA rules left and right so if you're desperate for a championship, maybe you should ask UGA to recruit more bad apples and let them run wild.

I think it shows a lack of fear of their HC. Fear is a good thing. Just like with parenting, you aren't there to be their buddy.
 
My Gawd, this is the most inane subject, started to get an argument going. One cannot compare "arrests" between municipal entities in different states. One cannot (realistically) believe Richt "leaving the field cutting up and laughing after a loss" as his feelings after the game. C'mon, that's a stupid assumption. Stupid.

Richt has had an outstanding career. He's been behind 7 Nat'l champions. And then to say his second-guessing ability to see how a 17 year old kid will act two years down the road is, yes, read it - stupid.

Do you honestly believe college players today fear their coaches? Sure, a coach can scream and yell but I am pretty sure fear isn't the feeling players are left with, especially the ones who are getting playing time because they are better than everyone else in their position.

I've seen plenty of tough parents with screwed up kids too so that nonsense just doesn't fly.

If screaming and yelling is all that matters, why isn't Muschamp still HC with championship rings on multiple fingers?

Why does Urban Meyer seem to be successful everywhere he goes without being intimidating at all? He fostered a culture of thuggery in Gainesville and did just fine.

Richt's lost control of the chaplain

Now that's funny. Some people will go to any length to defend Richt, I knew the responses would be good.

Why don't you jump on the freedom from religion bandwagon and help them drive Richt to quit? Maybe he'll quit before SC comes to town.

I'm going to prepare for the season with Richt as HC.
 
I'm pulling for him to change. But, I think it's foolish to think after 15 years anything is going to change much. I bitch, but I'm always pulling for them. When Richt doesn't have the team ready to play or makes a boneheaded call, I'm not going to defend him at every angle. Sorry...

We shall see...that's why they play the game. Cool your jets, if I'm wrong I will admit it. Will you?

The presence of diverse people doesn't bother me. Evil spirited people bother me.

I have been blessed by Christians, Jews, and Muslims in my life and can't say I was ever offended by any blessing. I have been offended by people doing wrong regardless of religious belief or disbelief.

I try to live a simple life and take issues for what they are instead of playing the "what if" game.

Was Missouri not prepared when UGA beat them silly or did they just get beat? College football teams have ups and downs all the time. Only champions get a pass.

Don't be ridiculous, anyone with sense can see that there is a pattern with Richt losing big important games for no reason whatsoever.

If you can't see that, you don't want to see it.

At least 95% of these arrests are misdemeanors and not big deals. I would venture to say the arrest rate for football players is lower or on par with regular students. You don't like Richt and that's fine, just stop trying to make something out of nothing. If you don't think he has a huge impact on these kids lives while they are at school and after than you are a cracking moron. Have a good night.

Can a 3 loss team make the playoff with an at large berth? It wouldn't be exactly uncommon if we had had a 12 team playoff the last ten years.
