"To me it's just a statistic people overlook, Richts record against UF. In a lot ways we can argue FSU is better positioned than UF the next few years. If Richt went 5-10 against UF, how can we expect him to even have better odds against FSU?"
Florida has had Georgia's number.
I really don't see much more into it than that.
Would you offer the same lackadaisical excuse as to why Golden was 0-5 against FSU??? C'mon don't be that naive. The reason Golden lost to FSU so many times, especially in the last few years of his tenure, was due to a myriad of on the field issues that were self-inflicted. The same could be said for UGA, it's not like UGA had massive NCAA cloud over it's head or was being heavily out-recruited by UF. UGA and UF were pretty equal teams.
The only time Richt ever really beat UF pre-Muschamp he had to send his entire team on the field (google 2007 UGA celebration) I mean that's how desperate it got up in Athens to beat UF.
You could honestly argue that the only coach that Urban Meyer a** raped more than Randy Shannon while he was at UF was Mark Richt. LOL - and now Richt is our coach. Funny how things work out.
So it's more of a Meyer/Richt thing than a Florida/Richt thing.
This doesn't support your original point because Richt would then be 4-5 vs teams not coached by Meyer.
Are you an idiot? It's not Meyer Richt thing, because Richt had losing records against Spurrier and Zook. Before Muschamp Richt was just 2-8 against UF. Let that sink in, .25 winning percentage. Every 4 games they would play against UF, they would lose 3.
Actually no, I'm not an idiot.
You don't see Richt's 1-5 vs Meyer as a stat skewer,
and, you conveniently want to exclude Muschamp-forward, where Richt was 3-2, so we'll move on.
If you can stop being a little kid for a second and stop the name calling, let's just get back to your original point.

If you sited Richts record vs FSU , I would listen. But to try to connect what coach would do coaching team C against team D because he didn't do well with team B against team A is a bit of a reach, to say the least.
