Mark richt= elite coach

He is not elite. He is not Saban or Meyer. He is very very good, maybe even great really. What killed Richt was being stripped of his play calling and hands on approach. 2001-2005, Richt won the East 3 times and the SEC 2 times. 2006, Richt is told to be a CEO, stripped of his play calling and hands on approach. Since then his teams struggled, but still finished in the top 10/15 more times than not.

We are getting the hands on Richt that will be calling the offense and leading the charge. I'm excited. Richt and his staff are a tremendous upgrade over the last few staffs. Richt is like 108-10 against teams that finish the year unranked. Richt has 2 losses in his career to teams finishing under .500. 2 losses in 15 years. Golden had more than that in his 4.5 years here. Richt is also 9-5 in bowl games as well as 19-4 against the ACC, though 13-2 against GT, he is still 3-1 against Clemson including their beat down last year.

Speaking of last year, UGA finished the season ranked 13th(Playoff Rankings) and beat 17th Clemson 45-21, 16th Mizzou 34-0, 19th Auburn 34-7, and 21st Louisville 37-14. That is their end of year rankings and that is more wins in the year than Golden had all of his time here against teams that finished ranked.

Our teams are not going to be any less talented than his Georgia teams. In fact, they may even be slightly more talented due to this region being slightly better than Georgia for recruiting. Our schedule is going to be easier than what he dealt with the majority of his time at UGA. He will be playing 2-3 ranked teams a year on average. For a guy that wins 98% of his games against unranked teams, that means we should easily expect 9-10 wins right there. I really do believe we can win 11 games a year consistently with Richt. I truly do.

Where did that idea come from? Obviously that's the goal, but winning more than like 5 guys doesn't make you elite? What if you had the second highest winning percentage for 5 years but didn't win a championship? Obviously you'd be a disappointment, but would you not be elite?

(used with a plural verb) persons of the highest class:
Only the elite were there.

Is there a special "highest class" that only includes NC winners? Is Larry Coker in it?

You misinterpreted the causal relationship in my statement. I'm not saying if you win a championship you are elite. I'm saying if you are elite you will win a championship. Meyer, Saban, JJ, Carroll, etc., given the resources and proximity to talent at Georgia, would have won a championship--> that's elite. An 'elite' coach wins more than 2 sec championships in 15 years.... An elite coach wins an actual championship.

In that logic you are stating Larry Coker is elite..

LOL you read kryptonite's comment to me about Coker and then copied it, lmao. But no Brock, in copying Kryptonite you erred. I'm not saying if you win a championship you are elite. I'm saying if you are elite you will win a championship. So your Coker statement, while not original, is still wrong.

19-4 record against acc oppents
9 seasons with Over 10 wins...
Over .500 record in ranked games

Elite top 5 hc recruiter
Deep inroads into Florida, Ga, north and South Carolina

3rd most wins by a coach EVER in his first 15 seasons as a head coach

Elite offensive mind and coach

Good things coming for Miami man. All we needed was coaching and we got it...

Just yesterday you stated that you were a "Butch guy" but you were ok with Richt and now today Richt is elite? You are all over the place your posts, first you are basically in tears when your savior Golden is let go then you're a Butch guy and now you are championing Richt because he is ELITE.

That is his record with the same or similar level of talent we have had during that same period, except he won lots more games and competed for SEC titles and national titles. He will get more talent here - we will be back Up to Close to Butch type talent soon. Watch out!!!!

Using your standard Coker is more than elite. He lost 1 game his first two years, played for two NC -- won one got cheated out of the other. We fired him not to long after. And Mark cannot touch even that. Most of those 24 1st round picks Miami had were recruited by the guy we didn't hire instead of Mark. His 12 over 15 years is not even noticeable by Miami standards.

Look Mark is family. He is our coach. We all will cheer for him. We all want to win. But don't start this crap of being his boy toy or the Butch comparisons will flow and Mark loses them UNTIL he delivers the frigging Crystal Ball. This is not UGA, this is not even Tally. This is THE U. At the moment Mark got fired for not winning enough - not exactly the right calling card for here. You keep reminding us of that with his stats and there will be no peace on this board. Example -- he already made his first mistake. He hired his SON to be QB coach. Do you know what got his mentor St. Bobby himself fired? His frigging son who he refused to fire(sound familiar). Pray for Mark but don't pump him up until he at LEAST beat FSU.

Elite coaches DON'T GET FIRED!!!

Mark Richt...YOU ON THE CLOCK!!!

My buddy who has been a Dawg fan for 30 years confirms that AD McGarity thought Richt had "too much control" and pushed him into the CEO role, away from playcalling, and meddled in his business. Before then, Vince Dooley just let him coach how he saw fit.
 
Mark isn't my top choice but is an infinite improvement from previous corches we've had.

I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid but happy to support him.

Win ships.

Only 2 losses to teams without a winning record? Wow, that's solid....

Our teams should have more talent than Georgia had. No disrespect to Georgia - that state is loaded - but Florida (especially south Florida) is the epicenter of recruiting talent. Plus we should still be able to pull in some quality Georgia players thanks to Richt's connections in-state.

A hands-on Richt sounds great to me....FSU's offense was humming when he was at the helm....I didn't follow him as much at Georgia, but it is clear that his early years were his better years (although from a recruiting standpoint, every class was a good one)...

Every new coaching gig is unique. We could very well win a couple championships under Richt.....We'll begin to find out soon enough....

From a coaching standpoint, this is the most excited I've been since Butch left....

Should be a good run for however long he's here....
