I do remember that, however, I will say what stands out more from that year was Saban turning the SEC championship into a track meet while yall wore those cute black jerseys. 31-0 at half.
Mark Richt may be a good guy but he was not a great coach.
You all should thank whoever you pray to every Sunday for Kirby. It's like Georgia fans forget they were stuck in mediocrity since the 80's before him.

Final was 52-38 and Jarrett Lee threw 2 pick sixes to the same random linebacker. Was the difference in the game.

great coaches
I think the term 'Great' tends to get watered down.
He was good... No where near great.
I do understand that part of being a coach is developing young men, and Richt may have been solid from that standpoint, but that's only half the equation.

Would you rather have Mark Richt or Ed Orgeron?
TBH neither... but if you're going to make me choose, one has a ring and the other doesn't. I'll take Ed... Ed is a real DAWG and Richt was just coaching them.

His win % at UGA would rank him 3rd all time in LSU history for guys that coached more than 3 seasons, only behind Saban and Miles.
Believe it or not, it IS possible to give a guy credit without simultaneously diminishing your own team somehow. He was a great coach despite never winning a national title. Won several SECCs and sugar bowls. By your logic, Dan Marino must've been a real dud of a QB considering he never won a super bowl.

this is why nobody takes what you say seriusly. You are so blinded by your own fandom you'd take a retarded mongoloid that was fired for utter incompetence over the vastly superior coach. I guess you'd take Larry Coker too lol

Not sure why you have a bee in your bonnet about the guy.
I see a bunch of Georgia fans in this thread. I pick on my Georgia buddies about Richt all the time. I don't have a problem with the guy, I know he's a Church going man but he was a mediocre coach that had good talent on the field and couldn't coach his way over the hump.

Always liked Richt.
Seems like a good dude.

I did say 'neither' right before this quote you copy & pasted. Maybe send the whole quote and not take the liberals approach and use a snippet to make a point. quote:

I could say the same to you could I not?
And that's what makes SEC fans great.
You're making a defense case for a medicore coach against a retarded champion mongoloid swamp king.

quote:two pick 6’s by Daryl Gamble was pretty much the difference, both defenses played horribly that game. LSU had no answer for Stafford and Georgia had no answer for Charles Scott.

no, you coulnd't. I'm simply saying richt was a great coach. I haven't gone any further than that. I highly doubt that simple viewpoint makes me a blind homer.
Now compare that so someone who would take orgeron over him and then you've got a textbook case of blind fandom
Posted on 1/15/26 at 10:55 am to WG_Dawg
That's not what I'm saying at all. I wouldn't say Miles was a great coach.
There are alot of great players that have never won a championship.
However, Mark Richt is a coach who fell short of greatness. He had the potential to be great, but never achieved it.
I'll admit that he falls into the category of a good coach.

So, taking the championship over the guy who hasn't won a championship is a case for blind fandom?
Take the coach names away and put the stats up and let's pick.
