For the life of me I just don't understand the lack of respect Miles is getting from Rivals.

 

Miles' team didn't finish in the Top 25, and we lost to Meyer, Saban, Nutt and Richt. Also lost to Petrino, who didn't make their final Top 25 of best coaches. Other SEC coaches left out of their Top 25 include Tuberville, Spurrier, Vandy's coach, etc.

 

Or the respect given to Richt, the guy is a career underachiever.

 

This is a what have you done for me lately list.

 

With Moreno and Coffee going pro, it looks like Scott could be the #1 RB in the SEC going into 2009. However, Scout.com has Moreno's backup, Caleb King, as #16 on their 2009 Heisman Watch list, with Scott at #21.

I don't understand those that say Richt is an underachiever. He's got one of the best winning percentages (79%) as a head coach. He's 6-2 in bowl games, has two SEC titles and recruits with the best of them. I realize he hasn't won a NC, but in this BCS era, you need luck to make it into the game. Saban(LSU) had the ball bounce their way in a major way in 03', or we aren't even talking about Saban as a NC winner. I don't think that would diminish him as a coach in the least. Why would we take brownie points away from Richt cause he hasn't had the ball bounce his way yet. Let's face it, he's had a couple NC worthy teams in his tenure. Without a playoff, it's all about luck and/or fate.

 

Rivals loves them some Bama.:hihi:

 

they are not high on King here. seems like they think he'll be ok but not special.

 

So you're saying that the difference between a NC team and Georgia this year was the ball didn't bounce their way? They were preseason #1 after claiming they were cheated out of a championship the year before, yet they at no time even closely resembled a NC team. It seems every time Georgia has high expectations they fall well short of them. Richt is a good coach and I never said he wasn't, but way overrated by many.
