<blockquote><p>Mark Richt and his now former Georgia players still may get together one more time next week.</p>
<p>“I might go to the senior awards banquet,” the former Bulldog and newly hired Miami head coach told WQAM radio in South Florida  on Friday. “The seniors asked me if I would come back. If it doesn’t disrupt the business of getting ready here at Miami, I’ll be there. Other than that, I’ll be here working.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Um&#8230; what about the business of getting ready in Athens?</p>
<p>Look, I get why the seniors would ask him to do that.  But he&#8217;s no longer a part of the program.  If it&#8217;s about keeping up with the players he once coached, that&#8217;s what the Paul Oliver Network is for, something I hope he doesn&#8217;t let lapse now that he&#8217;s at Miami.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to think it doesn&#8217;t come to someone telling him it would be best not to attend, but that quote makes it sound like he&#8217;s not considering a graceful way out.</p>
