Forum : Finebaum's Going To Tick Off Georgia Fans

Paul Finebaum of The Mobile Press-Register has posted his latest offering: a commentary on the winning and losing coaches from national signing day.

Gene Chizik gets a thumbs up… and in the process earns predecessor Tommy Tuberville a thumbs down (as though Tuberville never won at Auburn).

Nick Saban gets mocked for his post-signing day speech about commitment.  Urban Meyer earns kudos.  “Derrick” Dooley draws praise for selling what Lane Kiffin couldn’t — “integrity.”

But it’s Mr. Finebaum’s comments about Mark Richt that will heat …

I sent finebaum this letter after his espn appearance:

 I am not familiar with your work or radio show, however, I did see you on espn yesterday saying: “richt is on the hot seat”

that was an embarrassing statement for a man with your credentials.

You should stop getting your information on Georgia from the knoxville based media (hymns, ward, pennington, hooker, LOW)

This city is the only one putting out such stupidity

use them for tn based news

Richt could go 8-5 two more seasons before the seat gets hot

I hope you take that good advice

Knoxville based media pundits (like here at mrvol.com), think that because tennessee will fire a coach after one 8 win season (and they will), that georgia would also fire a coach after an 8 win season.  The truth is really simple:  They want Richt gone.  They know he is a great coach and its just wishful thinking.  I DARE any of these pundits I called out to go gather up how many “richt is on the hot seat” stories came out of gainesville, birmingham, and new orleans.  The only school talking more about georgia than georgia, is knoxville.  And its all PROPAGANDA to increase their schools chance of recruiting in Georgia.  To their deceitful end, I guess they succeeded.  Really, the media in Knoxville is just an extension of the ut hostess program.
