Swinney and Richt on the Hot Seat

Dabo Swinney and Mark Richt must be feeling the pressure.  When you look back at VT's recruiting process, it's remarkable how the Hokies pull in a ton of prospects who are not usually in the ESPN 150 and still win 10 games every season in the ACC.  This shows that VT's coaches are good at what they do: developing players and winning games.  Coaches at Georgia and Clemson are just the opposite, however.  Richt and Swinney always have top-25, if not top-10 recruiting classes, and cannot produce great winning records with their wealth of talent.  In my opinion, this problem lies solely on the coaches' shoulders.  If you cannot translate great talent into wins, a change has to be made.  Clemson and Georgia have great football traditions and kids still want to go there to produce a national championship team (as shown in their recruiting classes), but the coaches are still putting out average teams every year.  As a college football fan, it is frustrating to see talented teams lose, and for the die-hard Clemson and Georgia fans, it must be maddening.  Don't be surprised to see both coaches looking for new jobs by the end of the season.  Both teams seem to be going in the wrong direction and new leadership is the only answer.  The only good thing is, both of these coaches have proven records and have shown brilliance in the past.  If they are canned, another team will undoubtedly pick them up in a hurry.
