Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech, 26th
Larry Blakeney, Troy, 22nd
Mack Brown, Texas, 15th
Bob Stoops, Oklahoma, 14th
Kirk Ferentz, Iowa, 14th
Mark Richt, Georgia, 12th
Jim Grobe, Wake Forest, 12th
Gary Pinkel, Missouri, 12th
Garry Patterson, TCU, 12th

On the point about national titles, which is a keen observation by the way:
Richt probably won’t ever get a national title, and I’m okay with that. I think the national championship is overemphasized in NCAA football. There are too many variables and outside forces to make that a legit criterion. Now, contenting for national championships is another question and we haven’t done that since 2005. Either way, I don’t see Richt’s lack of a BCS championship as a serious defect.
At the same time, I hope we don’t see another multi-season lapse under Richt.

They lost both of their games in overtime AND won the conference. Bama this year is different IMO b/c the SEC champ still went to the game. Bama didn’t jump LSU as we would have. They also didn’t get blown out by that otherwise pedestrian team in Knoxville.

What is objective about his analysis? LSU lost to teams with combined 7-9 conference record. We lost to teams with combined 9-7 conference record. Both teams lost one on the road and one at home. Better yet, why shouldn’t UGA have played LSU in 2007? So because we didn’t win that completely and entirely subjective beauty pageant in 2007 – heavy influenced by the ever powerful ESPN, who just happened to CLEARLY lobby against UGA in 2007 but in favor of Bama in 2011 – but Saban did in 2011 that makes RIcht less of a coach?
You absolutely can compare UGA 2007 to Alabama 2011. If anything we had a BETTER argument to play LSU 2007 than Alabama did LSU 2011. Alabama got a second chance to beat the SEC Champ. We never got a first chance. Additionally, Alabama got a chance to beat a team with a better record in the BCSNCG. We didn’t even get the opportunity to play a team with the SAME record. For any given year, the champion is relative.
I don’t know that we had a better or worse argument to be in the game than the other teams in 2007. And I’m ok that we didn’t play in the game for the reason you guys give. But to dismiss us as having less of an argument than Bama in 2011, relative to the other contenders, is not fair, in my opinion.

Well now you’re arguing something different, that we should have gone over a 1-loss Ohio State team. I don’t think anyone would’ve supported that in ’07. If the Buckeyes had two losses, you could’ve seen a situation like OK State this year, but they didn’t.
There were only two tickets to the dance and OSU had one locked up. As for us over LSU, if you want to say that a blowout counts the same as a double-overtime loss (in addition to excluding the SEC champ INSTEAD of a team that didn’t win its own division), then I think we’re just talking past each other.
That ’07 team was fun to watch, and I never stated that Richt is less of a coach for not going to the MNC. We were close, but we just didn’t have the resume to jump either of the teams ahead of us that year. As mentioned in the comments further down – a plus-one will hopefully solve these close calls in the future.

UGA’s losses were to teams that were better than the teams LSU lost to, OT or no OT. Plus UGA was ranked higher in the polls and only intense lobbying by the ESPN nattering nabobs (who were predominately from UGA rival schools, Holtz-USCe, Jesse Palmer-FLA, Charles Davis-UT) got the voters to jump LSU over UGA in the final poll allowing the Tigers into the BCSNCG instead of the Dawgs. When has that type of lobbying ever happened either before or since? I reiterate, UGA (i.e. you, me, our team and our university) got screwed and I am still pissed off about it. I apologize for questioning Jim’s fanhood but it burns my ass that the ESPN crowd got away with this and our fans ought to still be mobilized against those assholes instead of agreeing with their hatchet job.

This is so stupid, my response is for anyone else who may fall into this trap of thinking. The coaches to win the last 10 BCS MNC are:
– Tressel…you want him back in the game?
– Saban…3 with 2 teams, thus the ONLY coach to be hired by anyone, ever. Just waiting our turn in line, I guess.
– Carroll…where is he hiding? Oh, yeah, NFL again
– Brown…closest example to Richt. He got lucky with Vince Young, we missed with Stafford.
– Corch…guess tOSU will win 2 or more this decade with the second coming of the GPOOE?
– Miles…yes, you can be jealous, I guess.
– Chizik…you can’t be serious.
Look at that list closely…2 are proven cheaters (Tressel, Carroll), one certainly looked the other way (Chizik). Saban and Corch get results at any cost and have proven their mercenary nature. Brown is past his prime, and don’t think for a minute he would have succeeded nearly as well in the SEC. Miles is…well, Miles. I’d probably take him if Richt was gone.
Now, you can look at that list and say, “Damn, CMR has had to face 4 coaches in the same conference who account for 7 of the last 10 MNC’s. That’s simply unheard of and in retrospect, has done a pretty good job. Better than Spurrier in that same time frame.” Mark Richt’s record at Georgia speaks for itself.

What has hurt Mark Richt’s career is: (1) his, or someone to whom he has delegated the responsibility’s, predilection toward the bonehead call on offense at exactly the wrong time (’10 Ark, ’10 Colo, plenty of other examples, too), and (2) the team showing up not ready to play (’07 UT, ’08 Bama, others, too). Consequently, while he got the Dawgs close he just couldn’t seem to quite get over the top and get to the Big Game. But life is a learning experience and even though he is past 50 CMR is a smart guy and can still learn. This year so far he to me looks and acts different–and it’s in a good way. He looks to me like a guy who almost let his lifetime ambition get away from him but is not ever going to let that happen again. I think he is taking steps to fix what wasn’t working before and also improve what was working at the same time. I’m betting that the Dawgs show up with great personnel ready for every game in ’12. Now if only he can find a way to stop the bonehead call…….

Winning the MNC is the gravy. See all the reasons above. Heisman trophy winners are on those MNC teams. No one can consistently recruit those types of players year in and year out AND combine it with all of the other factors that go into a MNC season.
We missed with Stafford and Moreno. Richt’s fault…maybe. But he got us in position. He’s done it routinely. He hit a slump. He’s building again. If he fails to put us back in position again, then we can beat the drums. But his resume is VASTLY superior to any other candidates out there right now.

Actually the number of SEC teams that got to play in the BCSNCG is 5. It’s just that some have gotten to play more than once.

IF those reasons change especially #2, we should be shopping for a new head coach. coaches at programs the caliber of georgia are paid to deliver championships not simply extend their tenure.
