--Georgia did precisely what their fanbase demanded of them, firing _efensive coordinator Willie Martinez, _efensive co-coor_inator and linebacker coach John Jancek, and _efensive en_s coach Jon Fabris in a gutting of their defensive staff. Richt just fired the man who was the best man at his wedding...
T.E. Lawrence: I killed two people. One was... yesterday? He was just a boy and I led him into quicksand. The other was... well, before Aqaba. I had to execute him with my pistol, and there was something about it that I didn't like.
General Allenby: That's to be expected.
T.E. Lawrence: No, something else.
General Allenby: Well, then let it be a lesson.
T.E. Lawrence: No... something else.
General Allenby: What then?
T.E. Lawrence: I enjoyed it.
...meaning Evil Richt's back for 2010. DANCE PARTY IMMINENT.
--Notre Dame has hired Brian Kelly. Or Bob Stoops, according to a bullshit internet source that makes even the most bullshittiest of bullshit sources seem bullshit-free. (Bleacher Report, natch.) Or Butch Davis. Or, according to our sources, Notre Dame wants to know more about this INTRIGUING YOUNG COACH NAMED RON PRINCE THEY'VE BEEN HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT?*

If Marvin Austin wanted to make 50 Million in college football why didn’t he just go play for Florida?

The beginning of the end for Richt. 3 more years, tops.

Joseph Prince would make a better coach than Ron Prince.

ya gotta love that if you google Ron Price ,. his ‘head coach’ bio page for K State still comes up high in the results. They need to can that page…or just rebrand it for another school.

Don’t forget Charlie Strong to Louisville, though they may not want him after Leigh Tiffin embarrasses the Florida defense with sixteen field goals.

I think Notre Dame needs to hire someone with head coaching experience and someone who has done turnaround jobs in the past…

If Bleacher Report ran an article telling me that the sun came up this morning, I would still verify that with a second source.

“Ron Prince notre dame” is the 6th thing that shows up in google’s automatic fill-in thingy when you search for ron prince
of course Brian Kelly is the first thing that pops up when you search for Brian Kelly

Richt needs to find a DC that preaches good, solid fundamentals. A thinking mans DC. Richt only has one real choice at this point………Joe Lee Dunn!! Oh yeah! Yall feelin me?

Errr, that should say “Brian Kelly Notre Dame” is the first thing that pops up. Blame the 5 pm tendency to half-assedly rush through things

- you may be right, but we don’t labor under the need for regular national champeeenships, so the bar’s a lot lower.

@3-
Hey Nostradamus, you can with a reasonable degree of accuracy say about any coach in the SEC that they’ll last “three more years, tops.”

Nice to see that an SBNation site is ripping on its biggest perceived competitor.
It’s sad to see that EDSBS is playing the same corporate games that you would not expect a blog to play… so much for being truly independent…

Pulling quotes from Lawrence of Arabia…..1000 cocktails to you good sir. Peter O’toole was awesome in that movie.
As for UGA firing there _ coaches, too bad, it was fun to watch while it lasted.
by Stockman on Dec 2, 2009 5:23 PM EST reply actions
i see that the entire uga defensive staff was dismissed…well, except for rodney garner.
at the end of the day, it comes down to performance and no one – i mean no one – carries a nondescript bag full of large, non-sequential bills like rodney garner.

My money for Willie’s replacement is on Dapper Dick Bumpas of TCU. How can you pass up the marketing power of “Bumpas’s Dogs”? SONSABITCHES! BUMPASES!

See, Bryan, the problem is that Bleacher Report kind of sucks. Objectively. Independently.
by Trapper on Dec 2, 2009 5:37 PM EST reply actions
I saw John Woo named Lawrence of Arabia his 5th-favorite movie, and have heard that he’s a rabid Georgia fan (probably due to the moniker “Ginger Ninja” being lost in translation.) Thus, naming him UGA’s next defensive coordinator makes perfect sense. Who better to take up the cause than the creator of Mission Impossible?

I hope ND hires Bobby Bowden…no one would expect it, and u can name a “soon to be fired in 3 yrs coach in waiting”
by Mr. Pelican Pants on Dec 2, 2009 5:50 PM EST reply actions
Tell me UGA’s offense next year doesn’t make you a little nervous. Washaun and Caleb at RB, Orson Charles, Israel Troupe, AJ Green, Rantavious Wooten, Tavares King and Marlon Brown receiving, Aaron Murray or Logan Gray at QB, pick your poison…

Georgia’s Offense next year doesn’t make me nervous.
Also, thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite parts of LofA.

Tenuta? Not a bad choice. He’s always made the Dawgs look good.

Evil Richt, welcome home. We really, really missed you.

@24: 100 Cherrishinskis to you, sir.
I can just hear that barnyard music dubbed over YouTube videos of Georgia DEs trampling through some offense’s backfield like Bumpass’ dogs in the Parkers’ kitchen.

@30 – I’m sure Tenuta has figured out how to stop the FB dive by now…OH WAIT! There goes another one!

8 – Tiffin can kick all the fieldgoals he wants, but Sturgis will always make one more.
(Is this what the Big 10 is like? Trash talking over kickers?)

We would be arguing over punters, not guys that score.
by Crabapple Buck on Dec 2, 2009 6:30 PM EST reply actions
Buck – Ahhh, yes. UF has a badass punter (but we see him so rarely that I do not remember his name offhand…), so we should win by Tresselian standards (the game just needs to be moved north of the Appalachians).
by cantcatchuf on Dec 2, 2009 6:35 PM EST reply actions
Yeah, we’re going to get Bumpas as Defensive Coordinator. We’re also going to hire a unicorn for Linebackers Coach and convince Jake Scott to leave his perfect bohemian lifestyle in Hawaii to take the Defensive Backs Coach job.
by DAve on Dec 2, 2009 6:37 PM EST reply actions
Well, itll be Mettinberger or Murray at QB, from what Ive heard Gray might be switched to WR and Samuel to LB

Re: 34
I don’t know about the Big 10 but here in Big East land we spend our autumns shit-talking about one another’s rebounding. And without Dejaun Blair or Sam Young, Pitt will be nothing.

That evil tyrant Jimbo Fisher is sure to can Richt’s old buddy Chuck Amato… trust me, Dawgs fans, Chesty would be perfect for Athens. (Failing that, I heartily endorse Jon Tenuta.)

Is Charlie Strong not getting offered coaching jobs, or are the jobs he’s being offered just not as good as the DC job he’s got? Stoops wouldn’t have left UF for Louisville, but would he have considered Auburn? Strong won’t leave for a HC job just to be a HC. Too many openings are can’t win. Not that you won’t win any games, but that no matter how good the coach, you won’t be a consistent contending team, which I don’t think Strong is looking for.
Butch Davis replaces Stoops who’s at ND, Strong will take over at UNC!

The assured dismantling of Chief Bow-Den’s defensive minds times up too eerily with aw shucks Richt dropping the ax hard on good Christian family men.

The Appalachians run north and south bud. Maybe north of the Mason Dixon Line, but certainly not the Appalachians.

As a friend of mine just pointed out to me, if we’re talking about Ron Prince, “GOATEE” can only stand for “Greatest Of All Time Except Everyone.”
by Grohtesque on Dec 3, 2009 12:13 PM EST reply actions
Where did you get that Martinez was Richt’s best man? I am afraid that you have fallen victim to an interweb legend.
This started after it was revealed that Richt and Martinez were at da U together…for one year…while Richt was a sr QB and Martinez a fr DB. Sounds like the makings of a “friends forever” song to me.

@ #28- It should make you nervous. Cox was poison enough, and both of those other guys are obviously inferior to him.
