Those 10 coaches would have to put in years of work recruiting first before winning a ring. Richt probably doesn't beat out Jimbo ,harbaugh, and Satan for many recruits in next three years. But year four the eighth graders he's been bringing around the program are the one's he gets. Simply by virtue of distance bama and other schools can't be on these middle schoolers with the exception of a handful they target early. Really, look at how schnelly built the program, he went into the inner city and got kids interested in playing for the hometown school and kids talked and got their friends to come. This is where all the community work you read about pays off. Guarantee you'll see Richt attending black churches with the parents of young prospects, and parents and pastors will want the kids to play for a guy they trust and who has been part of the community for years. Can't overstate the impression it makes on parents and young prospects when a multi millionaire White coach from a major college program sits in the pew next to them and sings gospel. Look, I know it sounds corny but it will be the topic of conversation for the church members and community for weeks. It is absolutely impossible for other schools up north to do the same since they just don't have the time to spend every Sunday visiting parents and going to church with them. We have to play the long game in recruiting to win the battles. Whether or not Richt is a genius gameday coach should be irrelevant once he stockpiles enough talent.
