Fire Mark Richt. Seriously.
 

This guy is completely incapable of managing the clock in close key situations. I would look back and research but I'm about to go downtown.

The fact that Richt:
-[censored] up timing on a two point conversion that forced UGA to only go ahead by 2
-Allow Auburn to essentially score on a 4th and 12 on their own 40'ish yard line

That's bad enough.

But it gets worse.

With 1:45 left on the clock and Auburn on the five, Richt decides to put more faith in Auburn's kicker missing a chip shot than giving Shockley the ball with a timeout and 1:40 left to score the GW touchdown.

I mean, how? Come on!

How can you possibly [censored] up this badly? There were missed calls on both sides and players [censored] up, but Richt allowing Auburn to make a chipshot at the end of the game is quite possibly the stupidest [censored] decision I have ever seen in my life.

Can anyone here possibly give an explanation as to why Richt's coaching was correct in that scenario? Anyone? I am pretty mad right now so maybe I'm not thinking straight, but goddam this really seems like the worst possible call of UGA history.

Agree 100%

Honestly I think either 2 things will happen in the next 5 years

1. Bowden quits Richt takes the FSU job.
2. UGA hits a downslide and Richt is shown the side door.

edit...He fvcked up a few games I think his first year also with terrible clock managment. I can't remember which ones exactly, but I just remember watching it with someone and saying, "They won't put up with that [censored] for very long in Athens."

I agree it's stupid, but it's a pretty common mistake made on a regular basis.

Re: Fire Mark Richt. Seriously.
 

Besides, why can't they just stand on the 3 and wait 1 minute or something if you decide to let them score?

Re: Fire Mark Richt. Seriously.
 

OK, I'll play devil's advocate...

It looked like DJ was confused about something on the conversion screwup, hard to tell if that was his fault or not.

Was the 4th down conversion a coaching screwup, or a blown assignment? Jennings was out, his replacement (guy who punched the ball out) looked like he got burned pretty bad. Also appeared the safety had a shot at him at around the 30, and blew that too.

As for the clock management, Auburn's kicker is pretty bad, but yeah, they should've laid down.

Yeah, maybe they'll bring Ray Goff back.

I highly doubt this is going through a RB's head when the whole defense just refuses to tackle you.

It was funny how all of the UGA fans were so happy when they called the TD back. I tried to tell them that was the worst thing that could happen, but very few understood why. At least until about 2 minutes later.
