You gave me a shot, you trusted me to be your starting TE. You brought a kid all the way from the west coast to play as a true freshman and never lied about a thing.

Thank you, CMR. https://t.co/JMMwH2Uwtf

These coaches need to stop going into these kids homes and feeding them bullshit.. stop acting like you care about the kid when your just chasing the next higher paycheck. No different than you @MarkRicht Taking the job , signing an extension then retiring. A joke.

Thank you for your services CMR

Hoping we can bring James Coley back. Understands QB play and development, knows how to use playmakers, great South Florida recruiter and has had a big hand in Georgia offense past two seasons.

Mark is a good man. No doubt. He just didn’t have the coaching energy left in him to make the tough decisions needed. Now, closes another chapter in our storied history...who will man the ship next? #butchup
