Talked alot and emphasized his faith alot and said he would go in the direction guided and was open to talk about new coaching opportunities.

Would be a huge, huge mistake.
The guy is a Georgia guy who is 55 years old. After a year at USC, he will be facing the "how much longer are you going to coach" questions from media- and on the recruiting trail.
Plus, Mark Richt is EXTREMELY LAID BACK in his approach to almost everything. The last thing USC needs right now is a coach that APPEARS to be laid back and passive.
At UGA, he had the University of Georgia to use to recruit players - and he was close to Atlanta. He won't be the UGA coach at South Carolina. He'll be a laid back, passive type personality coach that is trying to recruit against Georgia, Clemson, Florida.. etc.
Would be an awful move and a move I am confident we will not pursue.
Richt has been paid tens of millions of dollars at UGA. He wants to go into Mission work, primarily in South America. There's no real motivation with him. We need somebody dedicated to creating his legacy at SC.
He wants to be a real coach again. Head coaches mainly oversee. Just think how much fun that would be for him and without anything approaching the pressure he has been under. He could do it left-handed and still be great at it.Also mentioned that if not a HC, he would be interested in a position as a coordinator or a QB coach

He is a class act, has SEC experience, can buy us time bringing in a OC and DC and staff that hopefully we can pull from to find our next HC without taking a chance on some of these other unknowns that are out there!
