There's also this (note that Feldman's FOX article about Richt losing support from "major boosters" was published before Tarkenton, a major booster, said as much himself on the radio):

Former UGA QB Fran Tarkenton sounds off on culture of UGA coaching staff, 'bad situation' with Bulldogs
By MARC WEISZER

Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton, quarterback of Georgia’s 1959 SEC championship team, isn’t shy about sharing his views.

That was the case again Tuesday when he made an appearance on a radio sports talk show in Atlanta and was highly critical of the atmosphere inside Georgia’s football coaching staff and a program he said “is in trouble.”

Coach Mark Richt’s job security has been questioned with his team losing three of the last four games, including blowout losses to Alabama and Florida.

“This staff that is over there today — and I am going to be very kind about it — it is not functioning properly,” Tarkenton said on WCNN 680 The Fan’s Chuck and Chernoff show. “I think the culture there of the staff is not functioning properly. As we all know Mark Richt is a good, fine, wonderful person. I think there are things going on inside of his staff that are unsavory. If you don’t have your whole staff and your whole organization of respect and understanding the roles of everybody, things happen badly. …We’ve got troubles in our program over there that needs to be fixed. It’s not about play-calling, it’s not about a defense-calling. It’s about a culture that has the right culture of love, respect, together.”

Despite the struggles this season and last (the Gurley situation/suspension probably aged Richt 5 years), he's too proud and likely won't resign. All indications is that this is going to be the last job he ever has and that if he left, he'll likely just relax and be a grandpa. He's made over 45 million in 15 years, no need to continue to push it.

I do believe he'll stay (especially if he wins out beating AU, Tech and the bowl game) and I want him to stay.
I also believe Eason will be on Campus in January.

Is the hope in Athens that Eason will step in and be a true frosh starter at QB?
