Garner, Searels decisions speak volumes about Richt
Just one man’s opinion as we prepare for the last game of the 2008 college football season:
1. The decisions by Garner, Searels, tell you volumes about Richt: The people who work in college football for a living will tell you that the most important quality a program can have, other than great players, is stability on the coaching staff. Hiring the wrong assistant coach or multiple assistants at the wrong time can put an otherwise decent program in the ditch. Just ask Auburn.
That is why, no matter who Georgia signs in February, head coach Mark Richt has already had a good recruiting season. The decisions by assistant head coach Rodney Garner and offensive line coach Stacy Searels, who turned down big money offers at Tennessee and Auburn to stay at Georgia, is a tribute to Richt and what he has built in Athens.
