Then turned the ship around and won 2 SEC East championships (2011, 2012) back to back. In 2012, Richt was 5 yards from beating Bama and eventually beating Notre Dame to win it all. It is crazy to fire him after this season. This guy has the ability to turn the program around, just like he did in Georgia. Too much negativity on this board!!! South Florida is full of talent and some of the best in the nation.
