Mark Richt as One of the Greats

5

A hot topic around the college football world since Coach Richt rejuvenated a dormant UGA football program many moons ago has been where he stands among his SEC coaching peers, and also where he stands among all-time greats. Dawg Sports has provided readers with the Mark Richt Victory Watch after every Bulldog victory; Kyle did an incredible series last year on Coach Richt and his place among UGA's greatest coaches at certain stages of their careers. This nifty little series of graphs from the ABH shows readers where Coach Richt stands among the household names of SEC coaches these days. Did you know that Coach Richt... -has a higher winning percentage than both Steve Spurrier and Vince Dooley? -needed fewer games to get to 100 wins than Bear Bryant and Nick Saban? -has a higher bowl winning percentage than any of the guys on the list? Critics will always say that Coach Richt falls short of the only number that matters- the ranking at the end of the season. I'm not going to say I'm pleased that Georgia hasn't won a national championship in my 30 years on this earth. What I will say is that we have a darn good coach and a darn good man running our football program. That championship will come, maybe even sooner than you think. We finally have a capable defensive coordinator in Athens!
