OT: Richt CFB HOF?

Advertisement
Tough call...he’s a low Tier 2, high Tier 3 coach of this era with many accomplishments but with a rep of not winning “the big one”
 
****. No.

I commend him for not fighting for his buyout

But he quit bc he was too sissy to fire anyone ever. He just did it again.

Manny had to come back to do what richt should have in November

I won’t take anything away from Richt. He was a good coach and a even better person. He knew it was time to walk away and he did. For that, he gets much respect.

As much as I disliked his last season at Miami and thought he should get fired, the world would be a better place with more ppl like Mr. Richt in it.

There are worse coaches in the hof. I'm not sure he's a lock or anything but he's certainly got a better track record than Frank Beamer.
