[QUOTE="Legal Jacket, post: 206495, member: 601"] His AVERAGE record over his 15 year career is 10-3 (rounding to the nearest even number). More than half of those seasons (8 times) he finished in the top 10 of at least one major poll, if not both. One of the only arguments that he wasn't elite is that he played in only 3 BCS games over that same period, although he also played in 3 Capital One bowls, 2 Outbacks, 1 Music City, two Gators and a Peach. Just as impressive is 83 seccg conference wins during that team and 6 trips to the seccg. The other big argument that he's not an elite coach is he won only 2 sec championships over that time period. But since he started in 2001 the only other coaches to win were Nick Saban (6 total: 2 at LSU, 4 at Alabama), Urban Meyer (2, same as Richt), Les Miles (2, same as Richt), Tommy Tuberville (1), Gene Chizik (1), and Gus Malzahn (1). As far as I know, the only coaches with more SEC championships than Richt are Pat Dye, Johnny Majors, Frank Thomas, Dooley, Vaught, Spurrier, Saban, Neyland, and Bryant. So he's tied with a bunch of others for 10th best in SEC champs. Just for reference (I may get flamed for this). Bobby Dodd won 2 SEC championships in 19 years in the SEC. Richt won 2 in 15 years. Dodd's win percentage overall was 70%; Richt's was 74%. Sure, Dodd won a national championship and won more major bowls. But the differences aren't large and both to me are great coaches (Dodd to me is better, just for clarity). [/QUOTE]
