Richt wasn't a championship level coach. Ok probably would still be here with a competant OC. Definately wasn't a bad hire. Not saying we couldn't have done better but Miami is definately a better program based on Richts contributions.
Since you feel the need to discuss Richt’s hiring and you were unaware of his tenure at UGA, here we go:
In his last 3 years, he only averaged 9 wins. Which sucks. 10 wins isn't special either.
Here is Mark's tenure in a nutshell:
The Great Years: 2001-2007 (7 Seasons)
- Wins: 72 or 10.3 Wins Per Season
- Conference Titles: 2
- BCS Games: 3
The Sub-Par Years: 2008-2015 (8 Seasons)
- Wins: 73 or 9.1 Wins Per Season
- Conference Titles: 0
- BCS Games: 0
How about Mark's record against relevant coaches/schools?

Mark was a loser and a failure when he came to Miami. He was fired for being a failure.
