Not ready to give up on Richt, yet. Definitely would hire an ST coach, and maybe an OC...but I'm not ready to fire everyone yet.
Perry looked like warmed over dog **** against UVa, but he's still learning the position. I think we all got a bit of a big head last year after the 10-0 start that could have easily been 6-4, and our expectations may have been a little out of mind this year.
Give Perry another year, give us a few more recruiting classes, and let our star OL recruits have a little time to develop into something. If we're still getting in dogfights with teams by Year 5 of Richt's contract, toss his ass out of here. By that time, Perry (or Williams) will have some experience under their belts and we should be able to get a realistic idea of where exactly we stand.
Until then, I don't think it's completely unreasonable to give Richt at least two more years and to play out his contract. We were in such **** straights after the Coker/Shannon/Golden fiasco, that it's going to take some time to build us back up.
We've got an IPF now, solid recruiting classes, and we should be on the up-and-up...until the OL improves, we're going to have some issues.
