This is a solid write-up on Richt. Sometimes I think Chris Low is way off base, but this is a rational, reasonable treatment - warts and all - of the dean of SEC coaches. This was much needed on the heels of things like this. I've worried the last two seasons that instead of Richt being the first in a the new wave of top flight SEC coaches, he was the last of the mediocres; merely struggling along until he was fired after a string of losing seasons. But, this year's carousel has given me a dose of "dance with who brung ya" and CMR has a long way to drop before we should think about removing him. Fulmer and Tubs both notched losing seasons towards the ends of their big runs, something Richt has yet to do, terrible defensive staffing aside. Now, can he consistently beat Meyer and Saban? Probably not, but who can?

Hey, it's just gonna be one of those link-dump, "look at what this other guy wrote" kind of weeks. I'm tooling up my early top-25 for 2010 and prepping for recruiting, so there's not much else to say till the weekend.
