Richt deserves Better


             
This is a blog I wrote about two months ago before the sec game. Even though the UGA Dawgs didnt win the SEC title, this blog needs to be published.


I couldn’t help think of the irony when I saw people write the praise of Mark Richt on facebook and twitter a week ago. They seem to have forgotten last year when they seemed to be clamoring for Mark Richt’s resignation. UGA has won its fifth trip to an SEC Game under Richt’s tenure to play LSU, so all is forgotten. I couldn’t personally forget some of the most angering message for Richt’s resignation after the losing season and 0-2 start this year.
         UGA had won only six games last year and managed to make it to a bowl game and lost. The UGA bulldogs ended last season with the losing record of 6-7 and I began to hear for the clamor of firing Mark Richt. Words couldn’t really describe how shocked I was to hear that some UGA fans thought Mark Richt should go. This was a man who had coached for 10 years, taken it to four sec title games, won two sec titles and three bcs bowl appearance with two wins. UGA has also ended on the final top ten CFB ranking three times, twice in the top 5. It was the first time UGA had ever ended up with a losing season under his tenure. With a losing season he still had an average of 9.6 wins during his tenure his ten years. There were very few coaches would boast of such a resume and the first bad season we have, they want his resignation. I thought then that everyone who was suggesting his resignation should be ashamed because his resume is good enough to tell the story of what a great coach he is. I was glad when Mark Richt kept his job, and realized maybe some people at UGA’s athletic Dept. are smart enough to know how valuable he is.
        This season began on a sore note as the bulldogs lost their first two games. The idea of Coach Richt resigning began to rear itself again. Losing the first two games is not the best way to start a season but I believed that Richt’s accomplishment in the past ten seasons should earn him our respect. UGA has won ten straight games, the SEC East title and a trip to the SEC title game. I am very sure few people expected such an accomplishment after such a poor start but I wasn’t surprised. Since the year 2002; I start every year expecting the bulldogs would the cfb national title, no matter what the preseason polls states. I have been disappointed over and over again but I have never lost faith in them. This expectation is mostly due to my confidence in Mark Richt coaching ability. We might not make it to the national title or win the SEC title tomorrow, though am hoping we do. Everyone who were clamoring for his resignation should apologize to Richt and admit how wrong they were because he deserves better fans.

Wizard of OZ (1939) and Gone with the wind (1939) were both directed by one man named Victor Fleming in the same year. These two movies are always mentioned in different top 10 ranking of the greatest movies of all time. For example, these two movies are ranked in the top 10 of AFI's 100 greatest America's greatest films; the only director to have achieved such a feat. How do you direct two of the greatest movie ever in the same year? Victor Fleming was a Hollywood movie director during the golden era. He worked at MGM most of his career but died in 1949 at the age of 59. He had also directed some of my other personal favorite classical movies such as test pilot (1938), captain courageous (1937), Joan of Arc (1949), Red dust (1932), Tortilla flat (1942), Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1941) and the Virginian (1929).
