CMR has as good a chance as the others each season. Save for OSU Houdini acts in 02 and UTs incredible luck in 3 games in 07, and UGA is in the Championship game, where they would ahve handled either UM 02 or OSU 07. Luck of the draw is a funny thing, but good poker players put themselves in position to win a few Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-14188234374139717292009-03-27T23:46:00.000-04:002009-03-27T23:46:00.000-04:00Escalating coaching salaries, less patient athleti...Escalating coaching salaries, less patient athletic departments, more demanding fanbases, and the BCS making a national title the focus of most major programs have all been major factors in the decreasing average term length for "major program" coaches.<BR/><BR/>Richt is in the minority; that is, a coach who stays on top of his game and prefers to stay at one place.

I see parents instilling it in their children each day - frightening.<BR/><BR/>It's also a frightening proposition for my beloved Dawgs. Like DawgCPA said, CMR is a great man.

(Oh, did I mention he also happens to be a great man as well?)<BR/><BR/>I totally agree with CMR's perspective that the MNC is out of his control. The only thing he can do is put the team in position to be considered for the MNC. There is no substantial, controllable difference in DawgCPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103019156646917860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-13553032506954150962009-03-27T17:42:00.000-04:002009-03-27T17:42:00.000-04:00Your instincts here seem completely right to me an...Your instincts here seem completely right to me and the "evidence" isn't necessarily as convincing as it seems at first. After all, how many coaches last more than four years at major BCS conference schools anyway? Thus, just counting how many fall into each category doesn't do us much good. <BR/><BR/>What we really need to know is the PERCENTAGE of all coaches who were in their first four years Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-56329437310950668462009-03-27T16:56:00.000-04:002009-03-27T16:56:00.000-04:00Great piece of writing, DH.

One other thing I noticed is that in that list of coaches only 3 had never been a head coach at any level prior to the school where they won a title (Stoops, Fulmer and Coker). Coker basically inherited a nat'l title team from Butch Davis and couldn't keep the momentum going, so he's an exception. Stoops' title is probably the most impressive, given how down in the dumps Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
