They do??? Guys like Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian now fall into the category of "a different pool of coaches"? Maybe you can try and explain that one b/c you're full of she-at...AGAIN.

I didn't say anything about the competition being limited to the east coast. I said they are facing competition from several high profile programs. That includes the entire country, including Southern Cal and quite frankly Miami, to name a few. USCw is hands down a better job than UGA, USCe is probably similar to the UGA job and if Miami is willing to pony up the same dollars as UGA for a head coach I would say the Miami job is the better gig, facility issues notwithstanding. I expect Miami will realize the need to pay up this time to get somebody decent. There is more talent in South Florida than in the entire state of Georgia so recruiting would be a heck of a lot easier for a good head coach. And don't tell me that everybody recruits S. Florida. The same can be said of the state of Georgia. Everybody recruits this state. That and the fact that the road to a conference title and the NC playoffs would be much easier at Miami than UGA due to the schedule make Miami a better gig than people want to admit. UGA has to beat out Florida and Tennessee for the east, by beating not only the east teams but some good teams from the west, JUST to get to an opportunity to face (take your pick) Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss, TAM, etc to win the conference title and maybe make the playoffs. Miami basically has to beat FSU to win the conference. The schedule they play is more conducive to running the table than UGA's. As it stands, UGA is 3rd fiddle in the east behind us and TN. Maybe you can explain to us how a program as great as Georgia's is relegated to having to hire a DC, Jeremy Pruitt, who had all of one year experience as a DC and was all of 6 or 7 years removed from being an assistant coach at a high school before UGA hired him and an OC whose accomplishments in the NFL were next to nothing when UGA hired him? Bottom line is that a good coach will have Miami contending for a NC title lot sooner than UGA will be contending for a NC title.

Texas isn't firing Charlie Strong this year and most likely aren't next year either. If you knew a 10% of what you think you know about football, you might actually bring some value to the board. As it stands, your belief that Muschamp was a great hire when it was first announced and your belief that McElwain was a bad hire when first announced, both of which are well documented, let us know just how little you really know.
Bottom line is the Georgia job, while not as clownish of a job as you are a poster, isn't the great job you would have us believe.
