Sun Tzu you have been avoiding answering this question for months now, and yet again yesterday you brought this up in another thread. Now I have tried to get you to answer a very simple question based on your bashing of Mark Richt, and yet you refuse to. Now surely you can not pretend to not see this thread as you have been posting a lot in here the last few days. So I will ask you again, Please tell me who you consider championship coaches in college football. Simple enough huh:shrug: You will find your previous posts below in red and mine in black. Not that you should need any of it, but just didnt want you to forget what you said
Dawgs can have all the talent in the world but there hasnt been a season yet wehere Mark Richt didnt manage to F@@@ it up and no reason to think this year will be any different
I am pretty level headed when it comes to my dawgs, but your going to have to explain this one:shrug:
RICHT IN THE "70 IN 7" CLUB
Richt is one of only 9 head coaches in NCAA Division IA history to record 70 or more wins in his first seven seasons. Coach (1st 7 seasons) School, 7-year mark
George Woodruff Pennsylvania, 94-6
Walter Camp Yale and Stanford, 81-5-3
Bob Stoops Oklahoma, 75-16
Amos Alonzo Stagg Springfield, Chicago, 74-32-7
Pete Carroll USC, 74-14
Barry Switzer Oklahoma, 73-7-2
Mark Richt Georgia, 72-19
Henry Williams Army, Minnesota (70-5-6)
Urban Meyer Bowling Green, Utah, Florida (70-16)
25-4 in opponents stadiums (9-2 versus Ranked Opp.)
Only Coaches To Win Two SEC Titles In First Five Years
Frank Thomas, Alabama (1933, '34)
Bernie Moore, LSU (1935, '36)
Vince Dooley, Georgia (1966, '68)
Steve Spurrier, Florida (1991, '93)
Nick Saban, LSU (2001, '03)
Mark Richt, Georgia (2002, '05)
Only SEC Coaches To Record Four Straight 10-Win Seasons
Paul "Bear" Bryant, Alabama (1971-74, 1977-80)
Vince Dooley, Georgia (1980-83)
Phillip Fulmer, Tennessee (1995-98)
Mark Richt, Georgia (2002-05)
Steve Spurrier, Florida (1993-98)
You will excuse me if I do not understand what your getting at:shrug:
Cna quote numbers like that and make Mack Brown look like Bear Bryant too. The goal is to win championships which was the point of discussion. If you are a fan of a bigtime program, which Georgia certainly is, you shouldnt be getting all excited about 10 win seasons that dont produce national titles or often SEC titles, when your archrival Florida is routinely kicking your ass or when you lose games you have no business losing.
Bottom line he has had the talent to play for the big enchilada and always loses to somebody he has no business losing to, and often at home.
Last year a dreadful home loss to South Carolina in which as I recall Richt the offensive genius couldnt even get a touchdown on the board. The blowout loss in Knoxville was pretty awful at the time as well.
2006 - a home loss to Vandy? Giving up 50 plus to Tennessee at home in losing by 3 TDs when you had the lead starting the fourth quarter?
2005 - a complete gag job in losing at home to Auburn by 1 on the last play Fg after giving up a bomb in the last 30 seconds of the game, in part caused by not going for 2 after a fourth quarter touchdown and instead kicking to get a 6 point lead.
2002-2004 the losses were respectable but when they had to get a big game against an equal or arguably better opponent they lost.
The guy is Mack Brown except for the 2005 win over USC - win 10 games, beat almost everybody you should except once a year or so have an unexplainable dud, struggle against your big name border opponent you play at a neutral site, etc. So yes an ecellent coach, but not a championship coach.
As for Gump, ironically he still wouldnt have one if the voters hadnt completely shafted Georgia and been one of the most screwed up seasons ever. He has the hardware but does anyone truly believe that "proved" he was a great coach?
:mj07: :mj07: :mj07:
Okay I will bite, what coaches do you believe are top notch (championship Coaches) Just remember the criteria you set above and give me some of your top notch ones. And if your premise is that GA has better athletes than Fla,LSU,USC,Tenn, or Aub each year then your just stupid so please save your breath. GL
I will give it one more shot Sun Tzu since you have obviously avoided answering. I wont hold my breath:142smilie
