If Jesus cared about football, he wouldn't have let us lose to OM at home on Dak's senior night. Karma and shit***

I don't see Richt to State.
Richt`s character fits way better in UVA`s culture than the U`s.
I could see their new president wanting Richt's image.
Mullen hasn't lost to vandy or kentucky. Richt did. Just saying.
If Georgia wins their bowl game this year, that will be four seasons out of the last five that they have won at least 10 games. His last eight years are skewed by a 6-7 season and a couple of 8 win seasons. Not to mention multiple SEC East Championships along with a SEC Championship.
Essentially if you look at Richt's career the only teams he has consistently lost to are Florida and Alabama. He does usually have one other random-ish loss like they did against UT this year.
He also has a stellar record against Georgia Tech- a rivalry very similar to the Egg Bowl going 12-2 against his main rival. And both of those losses were very close.
Richt has a great track record of developing QB's- Stafford, Murray, Greene, and he has won with pro-style and dual threat QB's- Shockley. He runs a pro-style offense with elements of the spread and he has a DC with big time Mississippi ties that is a Saban disciple.
YES that is what I want.
Did he lose to vandy? Check if yes. Did he lose to kentucky? Check if yes. It's like checking the felon box when trying to buy a gun. If the answer is yes we have a problem. Honestly I like mark richt. I like him for Georgia, although I truly think he underachieved considering how down the east has been. I have zero desire to have him as our coach. This isn't a Mullen vs richt deal. This is I don't want richt. Which, doesn't matter anyway he's never going to be our coach here.
Well get out a history book then. It should point that out to you. And again, this isn't me apologizing for Mullen, that speaks for itself, it's more that I think richt has done less w more than anyone, honestly. He should have won the east the last 5-6 years.....if he were our coach you would have gone nuts losing the games he lost. How many times has he lost as an favorite? A bunch the last few years.
During the same time period since Mullen has been here Richt is 10-20 against ranked teams. Georgia with Top 5 talent playing in the weaker east has won 5 more games against ranked teams over 7 years. I actually like Richt, a lot. And if he still has a lot of fire left in him I would definitely interview him. But let's don't act like his numbers at Georgia would not be considered comparable in a tougher division with less history and less talent like here. Richt won about .090 percentage points higher than Georgia's historic average. That's good. Any coach around .100 or higher has done a very good job. Mullen is at around .117 above our history. For reference Saban is at around .120 at Bama, .102 while at LSU, and about even or a little higher at Michigan State.
He is 5-2 in the same time period that Mullen is 4-3 against Auburn. Again starting from a much higher floor than what Dan had here to begin with. Georgia is 4-1 the last five we are 3-2. And yes they are the oldies but they are NOT the biggest rivalry for either school. Florida for Georgia is their biggest rivalry.
The Georgia - Florida rivalry is Georgia's most important and bitter rivalry. Richt is Stansbury in football. I would rather hire Jeremy Pruitt and let him hire a staff than Richt. Richt will lose games he shouldn't lose and lose big games too. Richt can land the big recruiting class, but he recruits like Polk did. Get the great class, but don't build a lot of depth on top of it. Richt would win 6 - 7 games a year at MSU with the occasional 8 win year and he wouldn't pull in top 5 classes like he does at Georgia. Go to Athens and you will see why. That place recruits itself.
