Finebaum Loves Richt

Paul Finebaum took precious minutes out of his Alabama recruiting droolfest radio show yesterday to interview Coach Richt. I think Coach Richt hit every radio show in the southeast yesterday, so if you heard him elsewhere, some of the Finebaum interview may be old news to you. In any case, here's the interview. They briefly discuss recruiting and then get into the outlook for next season. Typically, Richt downplays the hype by saying after seeing the first day of mat drills, we'll be lucky to beat Georgia Southern.

Finebaum, who has made his considerable reputation on frenzied criticism of football coaches, seems absolutely smitten with Richt lately. He wrote a glowing piece on Richt last week in his weekly column. Last month, he rated Richt as the best coach in the SEC. Do Finebaum's fangs retract after he crosses the Alabama state line?

Finebaum's been touting Richt ever since he began needling Saban.

Richt is the anti-Saban, his foil. He's a guy who's won big and won the right way.

Finebaum's fangs never retract--they're present even when he's giving praise.
